Stormbringer Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 does the transmitter have sub trim ? if it has you could use that to square things up good job on rescuing the body shell tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 I does, but it isn't enough to compensate for how far off-centre it is. It's a shame, but it'll work, fine. A 25t servo and servo saver are the best bets, long-term. Thanks. I'm very relieved. How well it holds up to crashes... that remains to be seen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chassis is a bit battered, almost definitely has some permanent tweak and has lived a hard life before me. Seems to always want to track in a different direction depending on accelerating or braking and takes ages to compose itself after any contact. I race it on the typical tiny village hall track, so I think I get away with a lot of it's inadequacies by driving pretty clean. It's annoying the Atom 2 is holding it's value so well as it's a decent cost to get a significant upgrade. Having said that, I may have managed to pick up an Atom 2 for a ridiculously good price a couple of days ago. Will see if it actually turns up before bragging too much, could well be a brick in a box! Going to tuck into those videos in a bit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can understeer a bit, though. Need to get the setup dialled. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think another commenter replied to you and answered. It is a 2-pole, I believe. Although, I don't know what the rules are, concerning this.

PraetoR Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Fitted the Hobbywing. She's rapid! 730 RPM MORE than the RevTech (that surprised me)! However, the stutter wasn't entirely gone. It was much better, but still present. It seems, perhaps, the ESC is to blame. 😔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
