NOFX Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Took the outlaw out for some snow fun. Some how about 1/2 an inch of the rx ariel has gone missing . Will this affect the performance? I'm just charging the battery to test it out. Tia . Ooh. It's 2.4ghz . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Was it the short protective sheath? I had a similar experiance with one of my RX antenna, mine fell off and couldn't get it back on. Iff it is that, then don't worry, it's just protective and won't affect range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 As above really. If, however you've cut the actual aerial wire then it could cause problems. I'd stick it on a box with the wheels off the ground and see how far you can walk away from it before you lose signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Part of the wire's gone . I've got a spare tx & rx out of my kyosho axxe , but I wanted to make it brushed again for little un . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just note, on some rxs, that end bit isn't just for protection, it's actually part of the aerial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Cheers mate . I tried it after charging the battery. It was ok for about 30 seconds, then went all intermittent before stopping working completely. I did try a 3s & thought I'd buggered the esc. So I had a Google & the esc's 2 to 4s. So that should be fine. I've fitted the tx & rx out of my axxe in there & it did the same thing . Then started working properly. It got a proper soaking earlier in the snow. But the esc is supposed to be waterproof. I'll leave it till tomorrow. It'll have dried out properly by then. Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Try checking the motor to ESC wires, if one of those is a bit loose or corroded from water, it might do those kinda symptoms, always worth checking and giving the connectors a clean off and make sure they're a good solid fit.

NOFX Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Cheers mate. The motor & esc have only had about 10 lipos through em. I'll have a fiddle tomorrow. I'm 1/2 way through a litre of vodka at the mo. Best left till I'm sober Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
