now here's the question, i have installed hobby grade electronics...
but one of the motors (the front one) doesn't move until you give it alot of power so was wondering if anyone knew what motors they take or a link to any i could buy

sweet set up..what did you use to make the mounts? is it on a swivel?

[jimbobmarley]

well its a bit of my twin force...

but you can do it with a servo horn just put a whole through the centre of chassis and mount it up
gets hung up on servo alittle, i will be doing it on the rear as well, works pretty good so far

doesnt it get hung up on the body?:-P

[jimbobmarley]

havent run it wth the body yet, but i will be flipping it over and limiting it anyway
then should run fine with body or could just make hole in body and use that to limit it

[jimbobmarley]

so anyone know about the motors?

Regarding the motors, it sounds like a problem either with your ESC or your wiring. In general, you would wire both motors' red wires to your positive wire on the ESC and both motors' white wires to your negative wire on the ESC.

HOWEVER, since the rear axle is basically a mirror (reversed) image of the front axle, FORWARD for one motor is actually REVERSE for another motor. If you wired them up red-to-red-to-red and white-to-white-to-white, one axle would spin forward and the other axle would spin backward.

So in the end, you have one motor's RED wire and the other motor's WHITE wire connected to your ESC's positive lead. And then you have the first motor's WHITE wire and the second motor's RED wire connected to the ESC's negative lead. Wire this up on a "test bench" situation (temporary connections) so you make sure that when your ESC commands "forward", the truck really moves forward. It'll go backwards if you happen to have the wires reversed.

If your Nylint is wired like this and you're still having issues, you may have a problem with your ESC. But it sounds like a problem with the wiring, if you have good operation from one motor and funky operation from the other.

cheers
but thats how i have it wired up... have tested motors seperately and front one if definately slower
i have found some park flyer 280 motors i just gotta measure up before i order

[JIMMYBOB]

i know i guy in my rc club using mini t motors in their crawler...he first put losi 370's in it it was way tooo fast.......

[jimbobmarley]

well if that 370 motors fit then there are lot more of them out there
i have found some with 100g/cm doesn't sound much but should be enough
