I have a lot of catching up to do, as I haven't been able to check the forums a lot lately.

Another option you guys can try is the two channels for the 2 dials on top of the transmitter. It'd be more of an analog feel where you turn the knob until it's engaged/disengaged. The HoBao controller that I got with the HoBao DC1 does this for the 2-speed transmission (although I now use the GT3C with it). I'm guessing you can do something similar here with the GT5 if you are having trouble using the ch4 3-position switch and setting those endpoints.

I've joined the GT5 gang since it's cheaper to buy receivers for this than the Sanwa MXV's I've been using for my non-crawlers. I might start using the GT5 for my crawlers and the GT3C for my non-crawlers...

Interesting enough idea that I may give it a shot. If anything, it could give me a physically relative idea of where to set the end points for a 3 position.

More like 11...duh!


My transmission is loud. And I have to keep the top screw about 1 turn loose on the spur/idler gear cover. Is anybody else experiencing this?

I only set my dig toggle to locked last night because I was excited that I finally have a better grasp on the 4PK menu system :ror:.

Yeah its really nice to be able to pick up some $10 receivers. I'm still in sticker shock from buying the Futaba receiver for this build.

The spool is going to live a long happy life right up to the first good rollover when those PLA brackets break off and the spool bends. :lol:

I think it's a great idea, with a good "first try" implementation. Machine those roof pieces out of Delrin and provide better protection for the servo and it could be a great idea with a lot more versatility than you would normally get from a conventional front mounted design.
 
Has anybody tried to use the Mamba X In the Capra? If so, how did you get it to fit? The Mamba X is 54.4mm x 32.5mm, yet the ESC side of the electronics tray is only 48.1mm x 33.4mm. The tray is wide enough for the Mamba X, but it appears to be too short by 6.3mm.

Futaba receivers are still a lot cheaper than Sanwa/Airtronics receivers.

For those who've finished this build, what ESC did you go with? I wanted to use the Mamba X (54.4mm x 32.5mm), but it appears to be too big to for in the ESC side of the electronics tray (48.1mm x 33.4mm). Could go work the Mamba Micro X, but then I'm having to focus out where to place the external BEC (as the internal 2A BEC ain't gonna cut it).

I mounted the Mamba Micro X in that tray, why not just mount the ESC in the standard manual configuration behind the trans, in front of the receiver box?

I know the Rx can go inside the "fuel cell", or on the driver side of the electronics tray, but, to be completely honest, I wasn't aware that the exterior of the fuel cell was also an ESC mounting location. I'll have to take a closer look.

Mamba X being ordered.

Can we get a Capra section already? I'm sick of juggling these two threads.
