John Acceleration is smooth, it's just when I lift and quickly get back on the gas again. I guess the next question is, what could be causing this? Could it be the 2mm bullets fitted to the motor?

johninderby Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Acceleration is smooth as well when lifting off and getting straight back on it. John Edited January 24, 2017 by johninderby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm kinda hoping it is, it's only just been changed under warranty so it should still be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ah, you're back with the original? In which case, using the stock TX I assume? That will be the issue, a bit of lag, hence why John doesn't get it as he has upgraded to a Spektrum, iirc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 My MT is still on the stock radio / ESC. It's the rally thats been changed. Definately better with the Quicrun but the stock one still doesn't have the hesitation problem. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Spoke to Modelsport today and as it's an unknown fault it's going back to CML for further inspection. Gutted, I've been loving this little car but it's soon going to have spent more time in the postal system than in my possession! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The servo fits nicely and the ESC sits on top of the battery box held in place with some servo tape I tried fitting the receiver inside with the rest of the running gear but I can see no way to make it fit It's fairly tidy where it sits now and would be ever tidier if I could be bothered to shorten the cables but unfortunately the shell doesn't sit quite right when it's all connected performance wise it runs brilliantly once it gets going. I'm using a Radiolink RC4G and throttle control on 2s is hugely improved. However, it stutters from a standstill and reverse can be temperamental. I'm sure these things could be sorted with a programme card but there are non available in the UK. For the time being I'll be going back to stock running gear, I tried and failed but I definitely think it has potential. This ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Oops missed that sorry Just a thought but wouldn't this be easier to fit than a seperate esc and receiver ? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/losi-micro-2.4ghz-conversion-combo/rc-car-products/367566 Only down side is you'd need to run spektrum radio gear ? Looks like it might just bolt right in ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 While ordering a few little bits from MS noticed they now have shadow stock of the GT24 plastic wheel nuts. Had a few other shadow stock bits to order so added a couple of sets of the nuts. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/carisma-gt24-plastic-wheel-nut/rc-car-products/395581 John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I measured the wheel nuts the other day I'm pretty sure they came out at 1.8mm. I'll have to double check, I should've written it down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 M1.8 nuts are hard to come by in this country? But at least I'll have some plastic spares for now. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingoNotts Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My steering linkage snapped last weekend and my highly anticipated delivery turned up today with all the parts I bulked up on except the steering linkage February 17th isn't that far away now I guess ...Ringo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Well I sent the car off to be inspected (again) a week ago today and I've just heard back from CML. They say that the problem I described can only be caused by the batteries I'm using dropping in power causing the LVC to momentarily kick in. This sounds like BS to me seeing as it happens from fresh off the charger. Anyway, they're sending the car back to me exactly as it was when I sent it off a week ago, what a waste of time. Expect to see a cheap GT24TR with an "unknown fault" in the sales section very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 @RingoNottsThis is the issue I was having. On 01/24/2017 at 12:06, everclear1984 said: Does anyone elses car hesitate like this when accelerating then lifting and getting back on the power again? I've never noticed it before, but it could explain why my truggy tends to nose dive when jumping. I go to give it some throttle to bring the nose up and it wants to flip forward! Edit: this is on 2S, I'll see whether it does it on 1s later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingoNotts Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ah yes - i remember now. Does seem a bit of a lame excuse. Did you tell them why this is an issue for you? I assume it screws up your in-flight control ? Ringo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I did but they're convinced it's the battery, even though the issue only materialised after going back for a replacement ESC due to another issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ah, perhaps before your time here...... First offer on anything hinted at being sold was a fiver. Clearly refused, offers would then come in at a fiver, plus a growing list of random 'stuff' to sweeten the deal (foreign currency, Xmas jumpers, pre-sucked boiled sweets, etc) It honestly was far more hilarious than my explanation sounds...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
