Lone-wolf Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have made a GPS shelf for Hoby, not 100% sure that i will keep the speed flea long term but it will sit on shelf at rear and i should be able to read speed through back window 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tomr Posted April 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2021 Couldn’t resist taking the VS out for its first test run, didn’t know what my setup was going to be like so took it fairly easy, just to say hitting 3/4 throttle. I think this thing is going to fly once I can open it right up . Battery, ESC and motor all nice and cool . Over the moon that I managed to do a couple of passes without stuffing it into a kerb 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 I am hoping for some slow pass`s with the H Hyper GT at weekend, ESC now fitted, gonna put a radio in and calibrate the esc over next few days, but hoping for some testing soon. Having mucked up an XT90 i have made decision to use EC5 connectors on this car, gonna have to do the bad thing and use an XT90 to EC5 adaptor for now but may swap the lipo`s to EC5 at later date, also regarding the radio, i want to put the dumboRC in but also using it in the Vantage, so i think it will be a cheap core rc in the Hyper as a temporary measure just to get it running 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 ITS ALIVE its all sorted but still a few things to put right, like programming the wp-sc8 150, i can get it to 3.0V cut of but would prefer 3.2V and it wont go above 3.0.............also i did not know the tyres need gluing to the rims, i ran it up and 2 of the tyres came of ha ha, now then what glue to use? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 half way through gluing, turns out the CA with kicker does not need kicking, it just speeds up set time, so done one side of each tyre will do other side of each tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by the LVC won't go above 3.0? I assume you have the 8bl150, if so I have the same esc and can set the LVC from 2.6v-3.4v per cell. Are you sure you're adjusting the right setting?
