|  Reverse Rotation
Hello i am newer to the crawling scene so cut me some slack here, I just installed a R2D transmission onto a CKRC frame and skid plate and without instructions i tried to piece everything together as best i could and how i would think everything is supposed to be setup, now i have reverse rotation i.e. my forward is backward and backward is forward. Can anyone assist me with what i have wrong, here are some pics and a short clip to show you what i am talking about and how everything is set up. http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...tationTest.flv http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...earboxshot.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...eshotflash.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...Sideshot-1.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...Chasisshot.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...hotcloseup.jpg |

|  Try reversing the throttle on your radio, or swap the motor wires (blue-yellow & yellow -blue)....

I was thinking about that but what gets me is before i did this install i had it the same way on my stock tranny and running gear, i.e. wires and controller settings and everything was working correctly | |

I agree with Tonka Toy. First try switching the rotation on the radio since it looks like the esc wires are soldered to the motor. That should fix the problem Edit: You changed to different trans, the R2 doesn't have the same gear setup as a stock trans Last edited by jmz6; 09-09-2008 at 07:23 PM. |

Yes i did the open side that i was taking pics and video of is usually covered by the mounting plate for the servo for the dig, or if you don't have the dig option RC4WD make a plexi cover so you can see in | |

i was thinking the same thing, i was about to reverse the whole trans but i have a CKRC rockstar frame and the way i have the trans now i can tell its supposed to be the way it is because the frame that is on the side with the dig has a cut out/notch to clearance the dig setup and looking at the other side there is no notch and the trans would fit right or properly if reversed | |

the motor is supposed to be facing the rear, on the R2D. thats just the way it was designed for the dig. it only takes a few minutes to re salder the wires. i would suggest you do that  i have an AX-10, and thats what i did enjoy Last edited by BuzzKilla; 09-09-2008 at 09:39 PM. |

Cool now i can do that and move on to the fine tuning stage. The next problem i am having is my suspension has so much length and articulation that the drive shafts are not long enough and i have some zip ties acting like limiting straps at the moment without those if i pick up my truck and let the suspension hang the shafts will come unconnected, the shafts are upgraded from stock and are a hair longer but not long enough. Do any of you guys have some suggestions? | |
