RC Smithy Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I forgot that the Killer Bee came prewired with a push button, just watch the vid, pretty much 99% of engines will wire up the same way I will do shortly can't wait to get it connected at least I'll feel safer going full speed. Now need to decide on what battery and exhaust to use and I'll be fine for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC Smithy Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Put the super bee killswitch on so easy took me 10 mins but.. now the grey long wire were does that go can anyone help please? If I put it anywhere near the engine it'll just the melt the wire right? Basically needs to be a whole at the bottom of the killswitch for it to feed through and then drill a whole in to the battery box right?

mond Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) I may have an FID rattlesnake to sell in a few days time. Original owner says it was used once but will get to inspect on Friday. Won't need it myself. Edited September 16, 2015 by mond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC Smithy Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 AJ not sure if your free to help ? Fitted the super bee kill switch just need to put the whole in top of the battery lid now so I can see the light colors. But gone to start the car and the cord isn't pulling properly I undone some of the plastic that goes around the engine that was about it never undone the starter cord case. Any idea what I can do to fix it as I don't want to get the starter cord case out otherwise the coil will just go mad lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the Super Bee connected but sadly I need a Y Splitter for the controller to turn off the engine. :'(? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Smithy Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 do you have to rebind the controller for the super bee to be able to cut out the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch my vid! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZcNlKWswCk? hey monkey nice vid earlier this year i baught 2 new 5ives with sambas and a mild tune and they are way fast enough for our lack of talent and now ive been and baught a dbxl as an impulse buy the 5ives are fantastic but wanted something i could bash with less body work that gets damaged in the inevitable crashes and i thought the dbxl fitted that bill so yes it will be getting a samba and possibly a savox servo but as for speed thats not what i baught it for i think the stock 23cc fits well with the intended use having said all that it may get a 26cc from 1 of my 5ives if we fit the 32cc to a 5ive but that wont be a while http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/34549-/ more than 1/2 the fun i get out of this hobby is spent striping cleaning and rebuilding them with my son weve not spent so much time together since he left home to make his own way in life and that alone is worth more than any money we spend ( i mean i spend ) we have been bit hard by the 1/5 scale bug but it has given me an incentive to stop the old cancer sticks so so far it has actually saved me money if we had gone for the dbxl istead of the 5ives we wouldnt have been dissapointed Edited September 18, 2015 by andy and dan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yes, very Nicely put, by Andy & Dan, I too have my son with me to tinker with the cars, if he wasn't there I couldn't really see myself standing in a field driving a "toy" car about!! I would like to see him take a bit more interest in the maintainace side of things but I suppose that's going to come with age, he's only 10, but I remember soldering all my batteries up & escs when I was 10!

RC Smithy Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Bought a new 2 way splitter cable for the super bee to be able to work on my Losi DBXL stock transmitter. Put the 2 way splitter in the steering slot in the receiver and put the steering and super bee wires in the end of the 2 way splitter and getting no joy.. have I got a dodgy super bee?
