Tug Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) Dude, that ride gonna rock, you wait and see. Just make sure it's on spektrum, the castle system, like so many others, needs to be on 2.4! Edited January 14, 2010 by mrclive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyondRC Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 how did you get the dual servos to work on the spekky rx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 how did you get the dual servos to work on the spekky rx? Easy, just use a Y harness. Not w/proof, but niethers the ESC, so it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondRC Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Easy, just use a Y harness. Not w/proof, but niethers the ESC, so it doesn't matter. oh right i was wondering how it could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 lot of issues with them on non 2.4 ghz systems apparently! Right, Well today went shopping for my birthday, Decided to stop messing about with cheap soldering irons, which are making my life difficult and went to Maplin whilst shopping Picked up a nice Digital tempreture controlled 450 degrees C Soldering station Along with some helping hands Set it up on its own little permanant bench in the workshop I then got soldering. First off, I would just like to recommend to any one buy a proper soldering iron, I really struggled with soldering in the past and this has made it a breeze. Really nice bit for kit and was half price, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanio Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The noise is possibly the motor. That motor is a beast and so the magnets are strong. When the rotor moves round it can make a 'graunching' noise. Once on the move it should be ok. The other thing to do is check there is no side ways movement in the diffs (as the diff ring and crown pinion can get seperated and make a noise you are describing) and shim if required. Also check the spur and pinion for any chips. The 28T pinion in my MERV had a chunk missing from the box; replaced with a 25T and she is now much quieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 ive just had it out in the damp (naughty) and as you say the noise has gone at anything above 1/4 throttle. It scares me TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Clive, Couldnt see anything in the manual about the order the wires plug into the ESC (the motor bullets) So i put them in any old how for pics, Can you confirm how they go? Thanks New shell looks good too Been away from pc for a couple of days, but like the other guy said, if it runs backwards, just swap any two wires.

Tug Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Why? Don't know the technical reasons, but they glitch big time without Spektrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 if i ever get to a bash your more than welcome to have a go yourself ,Seriously, the first time i took it out in my cul de sac, i giggled like a little girl Pretty much finished this project now, Just waiting on Red GTR andonoised shocks (thanks Sarah ) And some pinions and spurs which are ordered. Xray just needs minimal set up stuff, Springs and oils. The Firestorm is just going to stack stock ,although I may treat her to a new black shell and black rims like my E-Revo Next Project im aiming to have for April, A Cralwer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 heres what im after next I find the stock mount means the motor can flex a little, that should sort it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
