Red 13, ill get you a couple pics once home from work... Long day so far.. The steering is pretty good this way, better I'm sure once I get my cc Bec hooked up. Doesn't help in a bind, I'm for for a better torque servo tho too. I'm around 100oz without a Bec.. not good |

I run about 4 1/2 inches to 5 inches. Seems good for me. And even now, on my course, it seems to get caught under rocks. But other than that, it works amazing.

Ok, update time... Cc Bec is here (not on yet), rover, white dots showed up today. There huge! Makes the panther cougars I have look like 1.9.. I'm waiting for a pair of aluminum wheels I got from.. Powercrazy.. they look almost like the creeper rims or even like Thomas's wheels.. so once they get here an paradox dual foams, the rovers Will go on! Can't wait! No crawling as of yet today, maybe with a flash light before too long here... I'll get some pics up soon. |

| Re: wanting a winner... build thread Can't wait for a btl plate! Bta steering! The rovers, just WORK! Huge diff, I could here the tread pulling the rig around... For the lipo on top of it, it actually moved my one mountain stone out of the way! Front tires didn't touch down an had a little havg up, the rear tires an lipo together moved the 15 or so lb rock backwards! The last pic is just a poser pic with the scx-10 an wraith... This is my home course till I can get more stone. Then ill be doin more of a build "up" |

Well I have a problem... Rig was Workin fine yesterday. Even went thru an calibrated the tx an rx as I switch to a 2.4 just to ghecj it out. Also manually set my sidewinder the old fashion way with the beeps an lights. When I started off things were goin good. Then it shut down, still had steering. So i figured lipo cut off. Put another battery in an this is what happen. The esc turned on an blinked like it normally would but no melody(beeping when arming). Steering still worked but no forward or rev.. came home went thru set up again, lipo cut off, drag brake, the whole speel.. any suggestions.. other then get a castle link... LOL

It's like It's not putting power to the motor an it knows it, that's why its not beeping or making a melody when arming. I checked the wires, I'm still soldered good.. thanks for any help

Ok you need to pull the throttle all the way until it starts beeping. Then after it starts beeping. Full reverse and it will start beeping then it will stop and it will work.

Here ya go Red 13.. sorry so long to post.. Yeah its a little off sided on the one side but it is on the bottom an def does its job... I have been happy with it so far. I have some sheets of carbon fiber I may be making the next one out of. It's a bit slicker for sliding over the rocks, not sure how it will be once it gets ruffed up tho.. |

Ok, after getting some crawl time, I'm enjoying my losi shocks on all four corners, they work great! Also liken the stance.. My articulation is around 6 - 6 1/2 inches. DUring this time I realized my 6oz up front wasn't enough without my 6cell battery, so I strapped an extra (around) 2oz on the axles just to check to see how much I may want on the new aluminum rima I'm waiting for... |

With the rovers I had to limit my steering just a bit till my trusses, pin lox, an btl plate show up in the mail. Don't want to lose a spring cup... Or break anything till I get the parts from rmdw. I have some soldering to do.. as my black wire came off the motor tab, oh well... Then back to testing an more pics..

It was spring that holds one of the brushes on that was stuck in the brass wire to the brush. Was holding it back... The black wire came off after... All better now an doin some crawling under a local bridge.. pics to follow.

| Re: wanting a winner... build thread One an two are the same, 3 is diff an 4 is.. its as I work my way down the wall. It pulled itself up, over, an out of ever situation I put her in! As I keep doin work an getting out to crawl, I'm just amazed at how this little thing or that helps in such a big way.... Hard wired my cc Bec in today(still didnt get a castle link) its set at default for now. I did just purchase a hobbico cs-170 tho.. so till the field link an servo get here, ill get the Bec set for 6v an the servo will put out 333oz.. I can't wait! Cause I'm getting half of that, I hope, at this point.. more like a third! No problem red, ill be checking out ur thread as ya go. |
