    Tazer 12t Esc Help Needed!

    in General discussions

    Posted

    Hi guys, I have 2 of these and they have always been useless! For some reason t's just not working and I have set it up as per the instruction manual to a TEE!!

    I have the ESC wire into Channel 2 on the receiver, and the servo into channel 1. Can anyone explain as to why its not working and when setting up the ESC the lights are not working as if there is no signal coming from the controller. Any ideas? :)

    Hi Guys,

    I recently decided to fully bull-race my Samurai (very complicated model to build and re-build I think!), and although it's all totally back together, I have noticed that the front two wheels are extremely stiff! Any ideas? The rear two wheels run freely when twisted, but the front two do not. They do move ok and the differential seems to work fine, it's just that they are very stiff! Any ideas as to why that might be? I have not re-adjusted the drive chain but I'm still not sure if that has anything to do with it as I took it apart then put it back together? (the car that is, not the chain!) :mellow:

    Also the through bolt that has a nut either end that goes straight through the middle of the gearbox - the instructions state not to tighten it too much, but once the whole model is finished - should the nut be tightened or the bolt left to turn freely as it does now? Just wondering if that has anything to do with it??

    Any help and advice would be great appreciated - it's got me stumped!!

    Many thanks :P

    Do you mean the casing, or the gears inside?

    The casing may be:

    Side Cover Set 106 -500

    Inside there is available (with part numbers):

    Rear Diff Set 109 600

    Bevel Gear (Large) SET 117 -700

    Pinion Gear Set ( C ) 130 -250

    These may not be the parts you need. If you can get me the part numbers of what you actually need I may be able to help you.

    Hi there, I sent you a private message did you receive it ok? Basically I just need the side casing to the rear gearbox, I believe it is part number C10 and C13 from the 'C' parts tree of course! :D

    Did you make sure the front windscreen had a decent sized hole cut in it for cooling?

    Cheers,

    Yup the ENTIRE front windscreen was cut out and then I tried running it without the shell on!

    Hi guys, wow great response on here!

    To answer questions, yes I took the sheet up, but its got all my finger marks on it as I've been handling it so much whilst adding all the additional lighting to the shell! Will go with the easy soapy solution first off and see how that goes then, if it doesn't remove my greasy finger marks, I'll look at purchasing some light polish as suggested! It's jet black hence why you can see all the smudges fro my fingers! :angry:

    I too would say a Samurai! At long last I am pleased to say I own one. I drove it last week for the first time, fantastic stuff! Going to ball race it soon too!

    I think it's a wonderful looking car I realy do, way ahead of it's time, and chain driven too yumm!

    Special Small Screws - Any Ideas Where To Get Them From?

    in General discussions

    Posted

    Hey guys,

    I need a few screws of size No.2 X 6.7mm, No.2.6 X 8mm and No.3 X 18mm for an old vintage I need to complete.

    I also need a few 'C rings' size seems to be about 9.5mm from top to bottom and from side to side. (I measured the instruction booklet as it doesn't have the measurements on it, just actual sizes printed!

    Any suggestions would be fab! I've been collecting other screws over the last couple of months, but just need these final few to have all ready to build my car :angry:

    Thanks!

    Hi all,

    Got a original RS200 Nitro engine of eBay for £18! Comes with pull start, glow plug, carb and air filter! Post sum pics when it arrives,

    cheeRS,

    Will

    Hi Will,

    I take it you had one of these as a child like me? I'd quite like to get one again purely for nostalgia reasons. Mine was SO unreliable it wasn't funny, and the engine in was was terrible, always over heating!!

    According to the manual, it sounds like it thinks the receiver is switched on but the transmitter is not - which seems really odd?

    Make sure you also clean the battery/ESC connection - its the battery connectors that seem to get corroded...

    Thanks for all of your help, looking into it right this minute and report back!!...... I think it must be a dodgey transmitter for some bizarre reason, the trouble is i'm at my parents house and I only left one here, I have others at home but thats not good to test right here and my house is a 3 hour drive away! :lol:

    Have you tried swapping the steering servo from channel 1 to channel 2? If the steering servo works with the throttle stick (or wheel) then it's not your transmitter or receiver that is the problem...

    Have you tried setting up the ESC's again?

    When I've had the ESC flashing before, it was usually because the main battery was low - if you're sure yours is charged - check that the main connectors are nice and clean - if you're still using the old Tamiya connectors (molex) you can end up with a very poor contact if the battery hasn't been used for a long time (lots of blue corrosion on one of the pins)...

    Hi there, yup I swapped the leads around and the steering still worked in channel 2 as well as channel 1 which is what confused me so much?

    The batteries are charged (I tried THREE different ones!!) so I really am confused! Will clean all motor connectors again but if the LED keeps flashing on both ESCs, does that not mean something else?!!

    Hi guys,

    Yup motors plugged in. Very strange, perhaps the controller has had it? Either that or the crystal in the transmitter? It seems bizarre that both are not working though. I tries to reset the ESC by pressing the set button but the light kept flashing the whole time in the same fast way, very strange?

    I have two cars at my parents house. I went to use them both with my son, they both have Tamiya TEU-101 ESCs in them. The steering works fine on both, but no forward or reverse?! ALL leads are in, all black wires are facing outwards of the receiver when you connect them, and the steering servo is i the correct channel (1).

    There is no sound from the unit beeping wise, just that the LED is flashing constantly fast.

    Any clues? It's the same problem in both cars which seems weird?!

    Hi guys, I have today received (all the way from China via flea-bay!) the correct straight pegs for the body shell! :)

    As you guys suggested they went in at the front bumper position nicely, meaning I don't have to drill any new holes into the body shell thank goodness!

    y next question, is what sort of height should I make the body shell sit al? Should it be (the wheel arches) slightly below or slightly above the tyres?? Also what do you guys use to cut the body pin pegs down with so that it looks nice and neat and I'm not left with huge long sticking out pegs! :lol:
