Yeah took out the electronics today to found out what happened at the comp and I finally reinstalled the fixed link that broke and Tomi is cutting my wheels for it tomorrow Should be running by next week I'll post pics than

[MitchellY]

Haha correction, I took out your electronics :P Still have yet to figure out the problem... gotta plug it into castle link and see if that will revive it.

[EverettY]

Update Got my wheels... Shipped last Thursday and are already here Fastest ever from Finland! Anyways high quality machine work as ever from Tomi These are using 3 braces... Also will be using M2.5 hardware with 3mm aluminum braces for ultra LW Sadly I don't have a scale that weighs grams though so I won't know the exact weight...

Should hopefully have everything within a couple of days and have it running

[EverettY]

Well got this for a good deal along with some SCX shocks... Going to keep the SCX shocks and sell the chassis but I wanted to see what it looked like since this was what I was originally goign to run...

Soo...

Should have it up and running with the SuDu Pro later this week when the last of the stuff for my wheels come...

[EverettY]

Finally got my wheels together They weigh right about .3 oz so 8.5 grams each with aluminum cross braces and M2.5 hardware... Tomi did an amazing job as always with the machining on them thanks! Weight of all 4 wheels/tires/hubs is 15.8 oz

Thanks Ben

Got some poser pics on the rocks... Dang I can't wait to get this running again Also the last pic is a place I need to try out it's absolutely Super Heaven but still has tons of 2.2 lines... It's only 2 min dirtbike ride or 5 min walk from the house...

[EverettY]

Finally got the it up and running Got the ESC's resmashed wired everything up and it's sitting right at 3.5 lbs (1587g) I'm thinking it's going to need a little more weight though... Took it on a quick run but it's having some issues with the RX getting connection... Anyone know what the problem could be? It keeps losing connection and than suddenly connecting again... Everything is wired fine with a fully charged battery...

Looks killer, that pile of rocks is awesome though.

Thanks Took the rig up there and those rocks are just too big for it Couple things.. Got the RX issue fixed but whenever I turn sharp power cuts out on everything for a second... The motors lose power RX loses power and everything... Anyone know what the issue might be?

Also glad I have the CF chassis on the way cause I broke both of the cab supports on the first battery

[EverettY]

Quick update... Started shooting some vid yesterday but than broke something in my radio so that ended the running for the day... took the radio apart last night to figure out what was wrong and made a temporary fix till I can get a replacement part... And than today the weather decided to go nasty so It's been raining all day and hailed this evening But I got the CF chassis so it gave me some time to work on the rig... Got the new chassis mounted up, had a screw in the rear upper link mount come loose so I fixed that and I also moved my servo as far towards the center as possible.. I was having issues with my tire getting caught on the servo mount and it killing the motor so that's fixed now...

My only issue is still the electronics die when I turn it sharp... I believe it is a bad BEC but it's a brand new one what do you guys think?

Pics tomorrow if the weather is better...

Also just ordered 2 more sets of full rings for it as it's needing a little more weight on it

Your servo is drawing too many amps and is causing a "brown out" of voltage to the rest of your electronics. I have the same problem on occasion when I have the BEC powering through the rx. Powering only the servo directly off the BEC is always the best, most reliable setup (but not using a bypass adapter which sometime go bad). A temporary fix would be to dial back your EPA's a bit.

[HARDKNOCKZ]

Yup. What Travis said. I wire my servos directly to the BEC for this very reason.

Ok thanks guys So do I need to wire it like this?

[EverettY]

Got my electronics rewired this morning and took it out and drove it and it works great Thanks Ben, Travis, and J.D. For your help

I also got some more weights in the mail today... I tried it with just 2 full rings (3 lbs 9.8 oz RTR) And I just put all the weight on 2 full rings and 2 half rings per side (3 lbs 11.2 oz RTR) I'll try it and see how I like it... I've been shooting video so I'll try and get it edited this evening and post it up...

[TSK]

Glad you got it working. That's a good diagram too, but it wasn't showing earlier. You should post it into one of the Electronics stickys. I would consider that to be the current moa comp setup.

why disconnect the red wire from the second esc?

You only need to power the receiver from one source
