Hi Lee
Came across this forum as I’m having issues with my killswitch - it seems to be cutting the engine when about 30ft out. I imagine it should allow me to go out further?
I have a q-Baja bought from RCModelz in April.
Also, I notice that when it does cut out due to the range it is in ‘pre-arm’ mode rather than kill mode. I cycle CH3 twice, start the car and I’m off again (until I go out of range).
I emailed RCM and they said it seems to be an interference issue so I’ve gone out to an open space with no houses within 1/2km and still have the same problem. No other issues that I can tell.any thoughts?

I'd say it's a radio issue. Killswitch is killing the engine due to signal loss, as it's the same distance each time. Then as you get close to the model, it has picked up radio signal again.
Are batteries in the transmitter and receiver charged properly?The antenna on the receiver might have been damaged, can you check that?
You could check to see if it is a radio issue, Flysky GT3B?. Adjust the end point for the throttle and turn it down but remember original number, so the car doesn't fully rev up, but it revs enough to hear it 30ft out. Sit the model on a box, or take both rear wheels off and sit it on them (so the model can't run away, wheels off the ground). Disconnect the killswitch on the engine side, or if it has a connector inbetween use that. With the model running, walk away while blipping the throttle every second, and see if the model starts to lag or respond differently as you're walking further away. If the throttle sticks open, or doesn't respond, it could well be a radio issue. Might be worth having someone next to the model, incase it decides to go full throttle, so it can be turned off via the kill button and not cause any unwanted wear to the engine.
Using the GT3B, my model starts to get lag at around 80ish meters out (best guess, been a while), but doesn't cut out.

Does my nut when someone says my motor is too hot and they haven’t even measured it with thermometer, a 60c motor is too hot to touch, but Isn’t classed as overheating..... I do like a good moan 🤣🤣🤣

I caught my neighbour watering my purple maple acer baby tree it's just starting to explode now 1in girth 2-3m tall.
Hes said I should chop it down afew times over the last 3yrs. So I asked him why you spraying me tree. He said it looks droopy no it doesnt I thought.
I lied and said I've been thinking about cutting it down to see what he'd say and he was again yeah you should chop it down.
So I said if you dont want it to grow why water it? He was stumped.
So now I'm thinking hes trying to poison it or something. What would you think and could he poison it easily squirting poison at it then hosing it. It looks droopy now.

Glyphosate (Round up) can kill trees, but you spray that on the leaves and leave it. But I guess it could still affect the roots if it's used on the soil around it.
If Glyphosate has been used, the tree may already be dead. Is it starting to yellow on the leaves? Takes around 4-20 days for it to start working, less time on smaller plants.
Sucks dood.

Would anyone on here have interest in a hpi baja project/parts? Lost motivation for the project and would be looking to let the whole lot go

ok guys, i have had this problem few months now and i really would like to sort it out now. basically when i put an aftermarket radio on my skoda, the power stays on and then drains my battery. i have just come across something with a canbus interface and wondered if any of you guys have tried it out?
cheers guys

You want iginition live for power. Constant live is for the radio memory ect. The stock radio in my Astra only has one live wire going to the radio and it's constant live. I'm going to be putting in an aftermarket one soon, so will need to take ignition live from the back of the temp control unit (which I already located).
You could try the live wire from the cig lighter, see if that only powers on with ignition. I couldn't use that on mine, as it's constant live. Fuel relay should be ignition live too.
Will need you multimeter to find one, In short... You want one with power that only shows 12v when the ignition is on, and nothing with the ignition off.Double check all your radio pins, You might have one wired the wrong way, might have ignition live sat there.

Lipo fire.

WTF... Had enough time to disconnect the pack, take it to the bathroom AND get a camera, but wouldn't take it outside AWAY from family and home... Time it took him to do that he coulda got in his car, gone to B&Q and got a metal bucket and a bag of sand.
Had a LiPo swell while in use in the bedroom (faulty ESC), flung that grenade out the window, then went to investigate....What a tool.

And the Gatwick drone debacle continues.....
-
There was no footage of the Drone at Gatwick. All those "eye witnesses(115)" and no footage. Considering some reported the drone was flying down the runways (Could be lies, but who knows), and no footage what so ever... But since the Drone incident, the value of Gatwick dropped, then 50% was sold off....
There is far more to it than this...
Then there is the silly things like.... Shine a laser pen at an aircraft, chances are you will be caught, but they can't track a drone that closed an airport for 36 hours, then additional hours the next day, although if I remember correctly the second sightings were infact the lights on top of cranes... Should of gone to specsavers.
Who knows of battery technology that will sustain flight for that long?
This will end up ruining the hobby for people, like that couple that were arrested for 36 hours....
Glad I sold my drones.

Ohh, Apex Models has closed, no real surprise.....

ok guys, i have managed to strip the ps3 with ylod but i dont have a heat gun, has anyone tried the oven method?
-
Use a hair dryer, and bend the back bracket slightly.
For an oven to be hot enough to make a difference, it will melt any plastic on the board (cable clips) and ruin it... And stink the house out.Or, bend back bracket, put it together and wrap it in a towel to make it overheat
If it does ever work again, it will eventually break again, so it would be much easier, and less hassle to buy another.
Been there, done it many times with the 360 and ps3.

Does changing the connectors on a Traxxas esc mess up the warranty??

That's the one. Dual starter on it too. It's quite a big motor though, so not sure what fitment is like with Hypers.
From what I remember, people had issues with the OWB, but I used a starter box and had no issues what so ever.
Just thought I'd give the juice
I'll see if I can find a pic of it in the Pulse

xbox keeps saying disc unreadable, what methods does one use to fix it?
-
Ah, sorry man... Not sure if there is a way to get around a scratch. Maybe some glass scratch polisher stuff... (it's slightly abrasive and slowly takes layers away) But I have no idea how that would affect a disc.
Though, might be easier to get a replacement of said disc.Something like this... But highly doubt results like pictured lol
