M2 dig

[ynmech]

So I picked up the new M2 Dig from Novak. Looks like what I need to go with my XRten.
Got it in the rig and went through the set up. Wired the unit per Novak's instructions.
Had some glitching when in ultra low crawl, driving it on the kitchen floor( it's my shop when it gets cold out) then pow the radio stoped working. Checked it out and found the CC BEC was not lit. Pulled one off my scale rig in progress. Same thing low crawl=glitching. about 30sec later the other BEC goes dark
Wired it with no BEC works great no glitching and low crawl speed is great. So I program it for proportional dig and set my radio to 50% each hit on the third channel. Can't get the proportional dig to go any speed. Just all or nothing. Any body have similar stuff?

Thanks

How is the bec wired? into RX or straight to servo? If into rx did you pull the red wire from esc?

With the M2 you need to pull the red wire from both leads, throttle and Aux, going into the Rx.

You can call me at the Shop today Vince I happen to know how to work them. Or even better, if you wanted to swing by today. I'll be gone for 10 days starting Friday.

50% in one push is "too much". Make the steps of your Aux/3rd Channel smaller. 1-5% is probably better.


SEE YOU LATER!

Thanks charlie I'll try that. Any thing on glitching when using a CC BEC? I blew 2 last night
So in thery I would need to hit the switch 20 to 100 times to get the dig to fully lock up?

You should have two switches. One will be for the linear or proportional side of things and the other will be a standard 3 position for front/rear dig and 4wd. When you are in 4wd the linear switch will adjust the proportion, when you hit the dig it will dig.

Yup pulled both red wires.

Yea I just got an email from Scott at Novak on how to do just that. Damb I'm not at home. Can the time go by any slower?

Yea that's what I'm trying to get done. I'm sure a call to Novak and all will be right in the world again. Tomorrow is another day, hopefully the day my dig works like it should.

I might have missed it, what radio are you using?

[ynmech]

M11 I talked to John @ Novak.

Did you get your proportional figured out?

Not really when I talked to John @ Novak he explained that the very detailed instructions he gave me would set up full dig on the third channel and some trick stuff on the #2 & #3 switches. But that he had not run the proportional dig. So I'm going to wait for Charlie to get back home and see if he can tackle the proportional end of the dig. That is why I picked it up and there was no mention of incompatibility with any radios out or that it was designedto work with sertain radios. They did mention the fact that it was designed fpr MOA's like the XR10 or bergs. For now i'm fine with the standard dig and the fact that it is smaller than a punk dig and an FXR.
