    I feel a bit better about not having the disposable income to hand now.

    If someone got that for £100 delivered, THEY should be thanking YOU

    Got to say that I like the TL-01 - seems to be a Jack of all trades. Also like your Unimog. What brand/model of receiver is that?

    Just so you know; you can hit the "edit" button in your post to change it and add more information without needing to multi-post.

    SRB Cam Lock springs might fit.

    Just to update anyone else that might experience something similar; alfagta (top bloke) let me use his USB dongle to upgrade the ESC to the V3 software and fiddle with the various (and numerous) configuration options. Even with the new firmware, I still couldn't get reverse in Forward/Brake/Reverse mode (only had it in Forward/Reverse or Crawler mode). I've admitted defeat and returned it to HobbyKing under their RMA procedure. Hopefully it will all work out and I'll have a replacement soon!

    If it's anything like the 60A X-Car, you have to press the button BEFORE selecting the position on the transmitter: Turn on ESC holding button then release after a couple of seconds. Press button once then move transmitter to full forward and hold Press button again and then move transmitter to neutral and hold Press for last time and select full reverse on the transmitter and hold ESC will show red light after a couple of seconds - calibration complete

    Welcome to the forum. I'm sure that you'll get the answers to your questions here (not from me, of course, but from those who know a thing or two).

    My Mk1 has the slot on both sides, but has the Mk1 screws for locating the front springs instead of the Mk2 lugs and only says "R" and "L" rather than L1/L2. Maybe this is a Mk1.5 tower?

    Sorry - can't help you, but at least I understand the question now

    Or wait for the new HobbyKing ESC to come back into stock (they sold out in a day or so): http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=32025

    Thanks for the suggestions, alfagta, but it's still not working. I tried the calibration tweak as well as a completely different TX/RX combo (27Mhz) but got the same results on both. Can't really justify the £20 box; will have to wait for the USB adapter and hope the ESC isn't faulty. I get cogging in forward and reverse by the way; pretty bad at very low speeds.

    The radio is a re-badged FS-GT2 so I don't think it has ABS. It's annoying that I have to spend more money and wait for a shipment from the States (when I just put another one in yesterday). I'll give it some thought and then order the dongle if I don't have any luck.

    Set TX to reverse and recalibrated. Same results; works in crawler mode, no reverse in forward/brake/reverse mode.

    Throttle direction is set to normal and two of the three wires to the motor are crossed. With this set up the car goes forward when it's supposed to and reverse is slower (like it's supposed to be), so things seem right. Also, the ESC light shows that it's in neutral (goes out) and forward/reverse (comes on). Finally, it works in crawler mode, so it's definitely getting the "go forward" and "go backward" commands from the TX.
  16. 30YrsL8r
    There is a 3rd profile - that's the crawler one that works in reverse but without a brake. Profile 1 is forward/brake only and profile 2 is forward/brake/reverse. 1 and 3 work as you would expect, but 2 has no reverse.

    No card or dongle - I believed I'd set it once and never touch it again! However, I'm properly stuck now. With the ESC defaulted and then set to Forward/Reverse mode (no brake or brains, so you can throw it straight into reverse), Frankenscorcher goes forwards and backwards. With it set to Forward/Brake/Reverse mode, it goes forwards and brakes but will not go into reverse - even though I've been double-tapping it to death; no joy.

    Ok, this is annoying. I've received my ESC and motor and soldered everything together - it ran, but I wanted to check how it's set up in the software. Looked at the Hobbywing v2.1 manual and followed the flashing-LED setting process. Trouble is, the number of options for each stage is NOT the same as in the manual. One green flash (Running Mode) has 3 options - ok so far. However, 2 green should have 8 options but I only have 4. 3 green should have 6 options but I only get 4. 4 green should have 9 options but I only get 5. You see my issue? I now have no idea what I've set the ESC for as it doesn't follow the manual! Argh! EDIT: Typical bloke - can't RTFM! A looooong flash equals 5 (so 6 is one long, one short). Daft idea IMO, but there you go.

    Double post. Grrrr.
  20. 30YrsL8r
    Are you trying to make this SS stock? What about putting proper coil over dampers on the front instead of the original springs? Check out my Frankenscorcher thread for a cheap option. The rear A arms can be mounted using 4mm bolts instead of the missing shafts in the short term.

    If you mean the HK brushed ESC, it says "Programmable" in the title and has a button in the photo, so fingers crossed it's tweakable.

    Ordered a couple - my son and I run 2S LiPo so with the built-in LiPo cut off it's a no brainer to replace the Tamiya ESC in his Violet Racer. Should be able to sell it and cover the cost of both.

    £8.67 delivered to the UK! Why does HobbyKing keep doing this to me?
