WSM G2G planning/ chit- chat

[n8big]

I will be out at Fallasburg Park around 3pm. Our Off-Road club is having a picinic there. I am bringing my crawlers and some 2 wheel drives to play. Stop by and say hi.

Well I am going to a bachelor party tonight and d have to deliver a stove to my sister tomorrow in Midland. So my weekend is shot... just like I will be if I survive.

Plus, the only running rig is my Bully. I really should only work on one truck at a time.

 

[itsjust me]

we need to get out again. any one?

 

[itsjust me]

no one. ok then watch this. one can never have to much safety.

I'd like to get out again and try out my JK again. I put a HH 1000kv brushless outrunner in it with a waterproof esc and put my receiver in a box and also waterproofed my servo but the motor has almost no power in reverse. and I think I started stripping something in the gear box but not sure.

Does anybody have any brushless esc's they would like to sell? or let me try to see if that is the problem.

Was it always weak in rev?

What ESC are you using now?
CC Mamba/Sidewinders have a % throttle in reverse.

Where is your EPA set on the throttle?
Re-center it, then set the ESC throttle positions during a startup to see if they were off.

 

[n8big]

Not sure I got the motor used but the esc was new it is for a boat though.... it has tubes for water to run through. I emailed holmes hobbies and they got right back with me and said it sounds like it is my esc since it was for a boat, and they don't have much reverse in them I guess.

Hey, were talk'n important schhhtuff here.

I want to this week, but wife is stressed and kids have after school stuff.
Worse, we are in Saginaw at the inlaws for the weekend. Thinking of dragging a rig along in case those guys meet up.
Made a little progress on the F150. Need to start posting a build thread on it.
I have little time to work on it, so I wait until 2/3 through a build to start posting on it. That, or people will be rude and post youtube videos of crickets.

Just for that, you have to watch my son's PlayMobile Video titled "Dolphin Release"

 

[itsjust me]

sorry. crickets are for those who are m.i.a. where is every one?

new toy

my new toy is all most done next time me get to back out i just be able to bring show & tell :mrgreen:

 

[WyldWeazel]

I have been "promoted" back to being an engineer at work. Of course, that has required that I moved offices again, put in lots of overtime to get caught up, and be too exhausted to do much of anything at night.

To make matters worse, both of my rigs are disassembled right now. I need about an hour to work on each to get them running.

Plus my wife is in Traverse this week with her Grandma, so I am home alone with the kids. See you guys next week.

I was at the inlaws in Saginaw, so I met up with the BayCity group at Freeland park. Great group of guys that was there. Rocks area near the river is nice for comp rigs, was on the upper edge of what my two scalers could do. But it was a blast to tear up the stock front ring&pinion on the JK.

I just found this post from a guy in France.
Scroll half way down to the pics of all his rigs.
Insane!
...and yes, the rig the post is about has a video player built into it:shock:
The scale work on the rigs is incredible. I really like the doors-off JK.
