Plug the dig servo in CH3 on the FASST receiver. CH3 is activated by SW2 which is just to the right of the steering wheel.

Setting the EPA for CH3 (SW2) from the manual...

3rd channel servo (EPA) adjustment (Preparation)

- Select setup item "3C-L.F.U" and make the following adjustments: (3rd channnel initial setup: SW2)

1 3rd channel servo (up side) adjustment Use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the steering angle.

2 3rd channel servo (down side) adjustment Select setup item "3C-R.B.D" and use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the steering angle.

3 When adjusting the EPA of another channel immediately after this, see the adjustment method for that channel. When ending adjustment, return to the initial screen by pressing the (SEL) button.



I hope this helps!

now just set me up with the right esc and motor combo.

I see that Losi recommends the brushless 17.5 combo for there new 1/10

It has a worm gear I think they might be sending me to that way

[dkingston]

I gotta be honest, at this point I cannot recommend any brushless system. I know a MM with 55T 45T 35T and maybe down to a 27T would work well because either I have run them or people I know and/or have seen, run them.

Using the chart below:


I would start with the HS gearset, probably a 25T pinion and the stock spur. That with a 35T motor should give you the wheelspeed you are wanting in a package that isn't overgeared.

Give that a try (should be cheaper for you as well) and let me know what you think.

what radio? the futaba? endpoint adjustment is all that is neccesary . i use a dx3r and all idid was set my endpoints so that the servo puts just a touch of pressure on the fuel tubing ant the end of its throw each way and the center set so it is in free wheel mode.

I did set the end point now I got it to switch back and forth. BUt I can set the free wheel

[BILLYGOAT]

is there an option tho change the switch to 3 position . sound like its only sposition now . ill look up a manual and see if i can do it.

[BILLYGOAT]

so i looked at the manual also and davids instructions look like all you can do. using the sw2 switch. if you start with the servo horn in the center then set your up and down epa's .thats all i get from it .it looks like you can make it 3p though hope it helps.
