Thank you for the help, but to clarify you have the BEC plugged into the "fourth slot" on the stock Lansu rx? 1&3 channels mixed steering channels, 2nd channel ESC (minus the red hot wire), and 4th slot external battery slot (like on nitro powered truck) gets the BEC plugged into it correct? Also have you noticed the outcry getting very hot? Last edited by Eric76; 10-11-2013 at 10:22 AM. | |

The Cat is coming along slowly but surely. The HB Rovers and servos have by far been the best upgrade to performance. I rigged a bottle full of BB's to the front upper link mount which for now works pretty good as a free way to get weight over the front axle. Running 2S 2400 lipo with an integy lipo alarm which gives good consistent power, but not enough. Really hope I get the ZNO 540 conversion in this week, I think the 540's will give it the power it needs to crawl the rocks I am crawling on. Will post pics as soon as I can get the 540 conversion done.

Good luck with it man. It is a bit challenging fitting it all without rubbing. What did you end up getting for motors? I didnt even think zno was making 540 kits anymore. Dont forget to put in the shortened gear shaft or the case wont close right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free |

Dremel cut down the gear pin. I have the rear axle done metal gears, plate, pins and the 540 motor. That took a lot longer than I anticipated...

I thought they used to come with them. If you have a dremmel then cut or grind it down. Just go a little at a time till it fits tho. Its hard to put it back on after lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free |

sorry it took a bit to get back to you. wiring to receiver goes as: 1: front servo steering 2: speed control on ESC 3: rear servo steering 4: fan on ESC & wires from BEC (spliced together before plug) |

Got it done, but it was not the easiest thing in the world... Has a ton more power now but just raised the suspension to get shocks out of the way of the motors. Still need to figure out how to lower it and change out the ESC. then I will be golden. By the way if you get the rc4wd pinion gears expect to drill/dremel the shaft of your motor in order to get enough thread touching thread between the grub and pinion to hold it in place...

i have had a lot of luck with the tower pro mg946r servo Towerpro MG946R 12kg 55g / 12kg / .20sec the stock esc was always able to handle both servos with no trouble it has metal gears and 12kg of force. they use 4.8 to 7.2 v not bad for $10.22 a lipo cutoff is best if you want to run a lipo if it is the rs10 xt it has the flat battery tray as well as the 390 motors and the better top link mount a bec is needed for the really powerful servos but for the lighter rigs imo we do not need the super strong servos eventually i willl get 2 of the holmes mini escs and then i will need a bec but i wont need a lipo cutoff |
