SCX10 G6 build thread

[Geeze]

What servo and horn are you using?

Could well be that your servo horn is simply too short so the linkage isn't getting enough throw

Tried looking at your build photos but none gives a decently clear look at the steering, on the one that got closest it did look as though your steering link was at an odd angle

[Oh How Original]

I adjusted my end points, made very little difference.They are at 95% it can go upto 120% but didnt know if that would stress the servo?

Cheers for the link, ill order one when i get in from work

 

The % really has little to do with stressing the servo, unless you're over working the servo, if the steering throw is limited, then chances are it's not.

Make sure the steering link is on the furthest hole away from the spline that'll give you the most throw.

Im using the stock horn one at the moment and an Alturn servo. i'll take a clear shot of the front

Ah ok fair enough, I'll check its in the right hole (twss)

Heres a pic of the front


And here is a short clip of the steering, and it running a bit smoother. I turned the expo down which didnt change anything so I tried turning it up and it actually made it quite a bit better

It won't let me post a clip so here is a link

Up or down, sometimes they've reverse.

The servo moves slower when the Expo is down (even if you made the % greater)

That seems to be running well.

It's in the correct hole also, the further away from the spline for the most throw.

Raise the front off the ground, turn the wheel all the way to the left, then turn the travel/EPA up slowly, until the steering stops moving, then knock it back down until it first moves, do the same for the right and that's the EPA's set at what they should be

I have my eye on some other bits, but they will be ordered at a later date

That's a pretty sorting list... It might also be worth grabbing some Axial CVD's from AsiaTees, they're a lot cheaper than the UK and if you're already placing an order from t here, it makes sense to save on shipping too.

[melvins913]

i'll defo be ordering CVD's weather its on the 1st order or soon after, it depends on my paycheque

Sweet, if you don't order them, theirs no point getting the knuckles and c hubs really, they're purposely for more steering angle

[melvins913]

Yea i'll be getting them sooner rather than later   could really do with more steering angle

It does help a lot, but not only does it giveyou more steering angle, it stops the bones binding on the cups, which is annoying and makes the rig judder lol.

[melvins913]

Might have to order it with the 1st lot of stuff then lol

[Geeze]

I need a set of knuckles and hubs and the subdued colours have been out of stock for ages

I know that I could order a lurid set and make them silver with some oven pride but would still be a bit sparkly for my tastes, would prefer black or gunmetal like you.

[Oh How Original]

I must have got lucky, they were all well stocked when I ordered lol.

Stuff usually isn't out of stock on AsiaTees for very long though.

[melvins913]

I'll have to wait for non ugly colours i guess

I've been looking for you but had to stop before I ended up spending money... Trying to save so need to avoid temptation

[melvins913]

[melvins913]

Had it out for a little fun in the back garden, want to take it out to the woods but heavy rain meant it was to boggy

I'll most likely be ordering a 1000 man 2s for it as I don't need the run times from my 5000mah. Im also on the look out for a plug an play light kit/bar for some night time fun.
  I might also cut the roll cage as its rather ugly

[Geeze]

You're going to want a bit bigger than 1000mah, I've run mine on a 1300mah pack before just to tet stuff in the back garden and it lacked power as the pack just couldn't keep up with the current demands. If you want something smaller and lighter, try a 2200mah pack. Mine only cost

[melvins913]

Thanks for the tip, I'll go for a higher math then   Just don't need anywhere near 5000mah. The smaller size would also nice

Yeah as above, for those people who don't mind/need the really long run times, about 2.2-2.6 seems to be the standard threshold for a brushed combo.

I tend to have to walk to where I trail around, so the run times are needed for me, 15-20 minutes walking there and 15-20 minutes walking back would almost be pointless on a 2.2 lol.

[Geeze]

Yep, you wouldn't get much playtime, single pack would just about see you there and back I'm lucky, there's a wood the other side of the field behind the house, five minutes to playing in amongst the trees

[Gaz!]

Fit the biggest you can, that way you don't lose precious play time swapping batteries, one 5300 lasted me all day yesterday.....

[Oh How Original]

I've found with mine, I have a 55t motor in the TF2 and I get more time with that in high gear than I do if I'm taking it easy in my SCX10... I know that's a 27t, but I'm thinking of moving to a 35 or maybe even 45 to increase run times, as I don't use the speed, apart from photographing puddles lol.
