| ESC questions
i have an e-maxx with all aluminum a-arms, spools f/r, gd-600, 55t lathe motor and stock receiver. i have a super rooster esc and when i drive about 10 or so feet away from me it starts glitching like crazy, i was wondering if anyone knows why it might do this??? also i was trying out that trick were u short out one side of the stock EVX ESC. if i plug only the battery in and not the connector that shorts it only the front steering works, then when i plug the connector that shorts it, it does nothing??? if anyone could help me with either of my questions that would b awsome!!!! westsidecrawler |

as for the glitch,that can be a # of things that cause this.first i'll ask-did your truck ever run with out the glitch with this trx & rx in it?keep your rx and it's ant away from any thing metal-alum-cf,and away from any wiring.make sure it's as high as posible.you don't want it below any of the above i mentioned.have new or fully charged battery's in the trx.make sure the rx ant is the orig length.is the motor new?if so,was it broken in?motor also needs 3 caps for each motor(if running 2)some people don't but they are not having a problem,you are so you may need to try them. | |

It's pretty simple, plug the battery in, on light come on (correct location for battery cross the other two) if the light doesn't come on, try the other connection.

| Another question
I read the write up about the EVX controller but what it did not mention is abou tthe stock TXT-1 motors. The write-up mentions removing one motor because of the 14-v requirement but the stock TXT uses 2 motors and one pack. Do I still have to remove one motor? Can I use the EVX with the mod done? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. John |

im not sure if like a lhs like hobbie people sells them but if they did they would probably charge you like 5 bucks for three... but u could go to radio shack and grab some of these http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=272%2D109 ORRR if you have like an old radioshack rc car or just an rc car motor with caps on them you could rob it off of them... |
