Well I charged my battery with my new charger and got some time on the scrap pile I put in the back yard. About ten minutes into the run I noticed a problem. I couldn't turn. It appears that I stipped out the plastic arm connecting the servo to the steering. Not much fun to drive after that. Felt like the old days when you had to go in reverse to turn. Ahh, childhood memories.

i did that the other day out on the rocks with my new servo i stripped out a duburo plastic servo horn if ya get a chance head to frankinmuth hobby shop alum servo horns for 4.99"thumbsup"

Hmmm that's strange? I'd say reprogram it and go from there if all else fales take the one out of the blazer and put it in the honcho?

 

[oscodawave]

I would double check the low voltage cut off. Otherwise it sounds like you need a Castle BEC

 

[m0d3ds1ash45]

I'm with chris you may need a bec your servo is over powering your voltage even tho there's a cap on your speed control and your not getten enough voltage to your rec

 

[m0d3ds1ash45]

I may hit up some rocks after work? Anybody down? If not I got to run to rog and take some links back.

 

[m0d3ds1ash45]

Frankenmuth

Made it over to the hobby shop today after school. Picked up an aluminum servo horn. Shop seems to be moving towards crawlers. They've started aquiring rocks and have a small pile in the store. Guy I talked to said they have rock crawler stuff coming in later this week.

Got home to find out the horn doesn't fit. I was able to cut another down and got the truck running again. Have to take another ride over later and get a bigger horn.

 

[whalebone]

Did you talk to Aaron? He had crawler stuff before don't keep a lot in stock.

 

[arcticjeff]

No

NO, I think his name was Nick or something like that. Said Aaron has decided to start carrying more stuff and have some rocks in the store to play on. They had a small bunch in and were bringing more in later.

 

[whalebone]

He had a very small 18 track in there before didn't work out well for him... Aaron's more in to planes

 

[Twiztid Metal]

Yeah aaron in frankenmuth is getting more and more crawler / basher stuff, I keep bringing in my crawlers and he likes them alot, i go there for small parts and stuff.


who all goes there? right out side the river place they have rocks and stuff to crawl on, and down by the leather shop is were i hang out, got a huge wall of rocks that i crawl on,

but aaron has rocks inside the shop now??? havent been in there in about 2 weeks.
