It's only a tx and rx is a cheap flysky fs-gt3b combo and the motor esc is team orion vortex r8 esc and orion neon8 motor running a 4s 45c 3300mah lipo

Cheers for the reply daz I do the first part where it beeps a few times then I press the set button for the next step nothing happens not sure if I got a dodgy esc or its something I'm doing wrong room could it be something simple like the esc not matching with this tx do you think it would worth trying get a different one

I have tried it seems to start the calibration but then it doesn't seem to go any further than the neutral part I am probably making a common newbie mistake but it Has me baffled

Sorry been away for a while thanks for the replies I have everything I think but I'm having trouble setting up the motor and esc I seem to have steering but the motor doesn't seem to want to engage anyone have any ideas

I am looking for a suitable battery for my team Orion vortex r8 2000kv motor 130amp esc setup I'm new to electric and apart from batteries, charger and a new transmitter and receiver y st1 conversion project is going well I will be updating to a more powerful motor esc when funds allow I will then convert one of my hyper 7's and put this motor in there, any help is appreciated

thanks both

hi sorry it is a thunder tiger st1 im not very clued up on electrics and as all the local hobby shops have closed down i dont have easy access to nitro fuel so plan on converting to electric i have seen a few people have converted these trucks already, so my plan is to do this as a little project with the little one and if i get into it I plan on converting my hyper 7's and my usa 1 nitro crusher which ill need a steel spur gear for like i say everything is greatly appreciated

hi all ive been away from the site a while but found all my old cars the other day and am now looking at converting 1 into electric see how i get on then look at doing the others i am looking at doing the first as a little project as cheap as possible so i need pretty much everything motor to pull a 1/8 truggy matching esc, batteries anything else required oh and ill need new radio gear as want to upgrade to the 2.4 from the 27mhz thanks in advance any help is greatly appreciated

hows it goin ppl not been on for a while as been working away with no net access but come home to find my supporter subscripsion has just run out and was wondering is there a way i can use my

whats the picco had through it? and whats the compression like on it? is it bump start? cheers

will you take 30 posted for the wasp engine bud if not whats your best price

29 here just weather makin me feel alot older though lol

when i take my border collies with me down the park with the st1 i tie a tennis ball to the back easy dog walkin they will chase it all day long. had a few probs with old farts either ignor them or just walk away they the ones that end up more angry ranting to them selfs it not worth the hassle

modelzone is a hobby shop and do everythin from collectables onwards do sell nitro and leccy they deal with thunder tiger and tamiya cars are ready available but parts wanted are usually ordered in

hows it goin if you lookin for a nitro theres a traxxas tmax on modelsport for 320 i know slightly outta you price range but would br worth it with plenty of upgrades to be done there also is a traxxas jato for 295 just in your price range again another good car, the revo new is well outta your price range unless you could streach a bit further. have you considered thunder tiger mta4 or st1 or the tomohawk these cars are hard as nails and go like the clappers check them out they all in your price range and are good solid cars. theres also the hobao hyper st great car loads of upgrades again slightly outta you price range but you get what you pay for with these things hope you make the right choice paul

looks good bud for a first time spray, shame about the split but as tim said there will be plenty more marks etc on there before you know it

to cut either go out and buy the right tools to do so or get a good sharp craft knife when doing the wheel arches score the arch and then cut from the score to the out side like a sun beam once thes are cut carefuly score the arch a litlle more and bend each section and cut off 1 by 1 once all peices are off trim to make smooth use the same method for the engine hole. As said make sure you give it a good wash remove all grease and dust etc then use none lint gloves to handle to prevent putting more greasy finger prints onto the shell. and dry the shell out i use a hairdryer to do this. then you ready for masking it up mask your windows make sure no air bubbles etc then go on to the rest of the desgin if your using spray cans get a bucket and put some warm water in it not to hot this will be to pace to spray tins into as warm paint is less likely to spit than cold paint and will also give you a more even spray. when spraying be sure to give more thin coats rather than 1 thick one as this helps with flexability and prevents cracking of the paint let the paint dry between each coat once all is painted post it up here so we can see the finnished product good luck take your time the longer you take the better finnish youll get

as said above but make sure you use a real soft cloth to do so or youll end up scratching the surface of the shell post up a pic of the shell when repainted

hope it works for you post up let us know how you get on budgood luck

just got the vid workin on my other puter right sounds like its constant spinning to me and it does this with both servos you say im baffled lol has your mate a car you can borrow a servo off to test or have him test yours on your servo arm has the the bit that goes onto the servo check it hasnt rounded off.

the top of the ariel would cause a prob but usually with range a new ariel is a must, are you holdin the car off the ground when testing? as for the inside of a servo the shafts are only there to hold the gears in place if there was a prob with them youll prob find there would be no movement from the servo at all apart from a noise from the inner like a constant spinning

if your concerned about it but want to use it make a temp gasket for it but dont bash to hard if you know what i mean. if the gasket has gone even though it doesnt draw air through that area it will if there is a leak due to it being right next to the piston it will draw air from all available areas causing it to go to lean

spot on write up acksaw+1, i personaly find it easier to just return to factory and retune as tuning from current tune can cause a pain to tune not always but from factory settings you know your gonna get your tune just right.

i know it sounds daft but we over look the simple things have you checked the steering trim on controller

tbh bud id go for either the hyper or the hong nor both great cars and a wide range of spares about but as for the kyosho still a great car but not as many spares around bein the only reason id go for the hong nor or hyper if this is your first niro remember all the extraas youll need to get car running glowplug chargers (needed) fuel (needed) aro (advised) hump pack batts and charger(advised) fail safe (needed) stop thse runaways. tools for maintainance. im sure youll make the right choice of car bud either way there is plenty of help on the forum
