johnny that old man is sick ...in a good way

[johnnyh66]

I always use that Holmes adapter. It has the wire pulled already... but yours seems correct.

[Die-Laughing]

Yeah, I switched over to the holmes connector.

Anyone need this? Theres no room for it left on my rig.. $45
Its has some signs of use.

[Die-Laughing]

Nevermind.. I crammed it in there and it worked out pretty well I think.. Now I have on-board air and an easy to reach air hose incorporated into my spare tire hold down.



Edit: I changed the hose routing to this:

Damn I hate electronics.... trying to get all these wires run every where is a pain!

While digging out the trail markers and banners I cam across the sticker set I gt from Rick with GripFab and NIRC stickers. I can use them on the Hilux I am keeping and on the new boat.

I'm just about at that stage.. Gotta make it look good! This is gonna take all night..

[badhoopty]

i kinda dig the elecs part.

what i dont dig is trying to get these tamiya willy and hilux drivers done. im just not a fan of the whole cake decorating phase... ;)

oh and get this!
last night i get home from work with the task in mind of finally putting the lights in my tf2.
i look for an honest hour and decide that i either didnt order the lights or i had just lost or thrown them out. then i look some more, just cant find them anywhere.

i go onto rpp to look them up, and thought i would look around one last time. nothing... so i go to order them and cant remember if they are 3mm or 5mm leds. so i look at the truck to confirm, and see that i had already put the mother****kng lights in it...

[thzero]

Gotta hate it when that happens..

[Die-Laughing]

Haha wtf

[Die-Laughing]

Well, I can't get that holmes connector to work.

I plugged the servo & the BEC into the dual end of the connector and I plugged the single end of the connector into the CH1 steering port of the RX. Nothing.

I ditch that and plug the servo directly into the RX and it works.

I did plug the red wire on the esc back in and installed it into CH2.

I don't know what is happening.

Use only the yellow wire on the servo. It will only need to receive a signal.

[Die-Laughing]

This is the connector I have.



Holmes didn't say anything about pulling servo wires.. You sure about that? Is that what you did while using this connector?

[sally1800]

Sorry I don't use that. I thought you are using a split y wire.

[Die-Laughing]

I tried flipping the plugs, i tried the plugs in different positions, i tried a second holmes connector that i ordered.. Nothing. I must be doing something wrong, I just dont know what it is.. I want to smash something.

No matter how I use this holmes thing, if its in there, the servo doesnt work. If I take it out and go back to what worked, the servo works. Wtf

[sally1800]

Rick

Are you sure you have the plug for the rd going the right direction?

All black wires on the outside.

[sally1800]

Try taking the to wire out of your servo. Only leave the yellow or white.

Take out black and red. Don't cut out. Just take out. Patience

[sally1800]

Because red is your power.
