Dagger Update
thesnake505 replied to thesnake505's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
just got in from running couple of packs in the turck up the woods, and what a diffrence, the 23 turn and the esc transform the truck, the motors give it a fiar turn of speed, but its still reall torquy, its struggle for grip a bit thou, new tyres needed i think, am gone get som 20tooth pinions just to see what its like with them in! the box i put the esc in i cut the top off and glued a heat sink on, the esc's own heat sink is in contact with mine, (thromo paste stuf from me pc box inbetwwen) so im not worried about the esc getting warm! what servo does every one recomend cause thats my next mod after tyres, then ill be on to a new shell :-) snake -
any one live around the shropshire area fancy a meet up????

Twin Motor Electronic Speed Controller Questions?
thesnake505 replied to Mervyn's topic in General discussions
the dirt tuned is only a 27turn can any way isnt just has more torque! so should be fine, i just baught a 10t single esc off the bay for not much , i think about 25quid with postage, and this will run 2 motors at 20 turns a peice! there are other options out there -
hay all hows it going, so yesterday the post man baught me a pair of 23 turn ansmann clash motors, and today the postie had a 10 turn limt esc i baught cheap from the bay of e, this morning i remove the msc (should point out i had loads of fun with the truck while this was fitted) and fitted new motors , and esc, and made up some motor spliter cables to wire bot to the esc (its 10 turn single, so from what i have read the 23 turn should no be a problem) then it started raining :-( the esc i have isnt water proof so did take the truck out :-( so this afternoon im gona modify a plastic box to but me esc in so i can glue it in perminant and make water proof, should i worry about the steering servo?? i have already submerged the servo several times with no problems!!! the reciver i always bag and tape up ad never had a problem this way, also how water proof are the gearbox's? the question i have is which pinion gear should i run, i see the truck takes both 18tooth (fitted) and 20 tooth gears which would be better? picks will follow, but probalbly tomoro once i have re fitted electrics, cheers snake

Massive Noise, Burning Smell...
thesnake505 replied to HereBeMonsters's topic in All things electric...
im not an expert, but is the msc reister wires on in the correct order? also there are some cheap esc out there so maybe worth browsing ebay, search world wide!!! but yea with the msc check its wired corectly, also does it make the same noise with battery connected directly to the motor? (dont use a full battery, sumit with little charge will do) snake -

Noob Saying Hello And After A Bit Of Advice
thesnake505 replied to Kevin_Mc's topic in General discussions
with the tto1 theres load of upgrades, some worth while some not depends on what u want the car for? a tt-01 with aloy prop and motor mount and ball barings all round is a good car to bash, things like the ball bearing stering set up helps with the cars slopy handaeling, and the carbon upper frame helps to stiffent the chassis twist a bit. its all up to you, what i would advise is to start with bearing, motor mount and alloy prop, run the acar for a while, then do the steering and see what u think, then the upper frame etc...... do each mod on its own, then drive the car a bit, so u know the diffrence it makes, i like the tt-01 its simple and fun to drive, and theres loads of hop ups for it, you bank account is your limit :-p here my current tt-01 project, not finished yet, waiting on a few bits, -

thesnake505 replied to Kevin_Mc's topic in General discussions
hay, welcome to tc it maybe bling bling but if your gona run a tt-01 then i would advise the alloy prop shaft, the plastic one has a lot of flex in it, the alloy one is much smother, snake -

ok mate heres the pics as rrequested, im sorry i know there not the best but im **** with a camera you can see it in the last pic, and the pick before the is the screw hole i used, again im really sorry about the quality of the pics (screw hole is the top one on the ltop left of the switch cut out part)

not sure about that, but that link is going to be removed, your not supposed to put live ebay links in a post, personally i would get some thing like this, ebay search "Acoms Techniplus transmitter + 2 servos + reciever new" has every thing u will radio gear wise, will work with the esc u have, plus u get 2 spare servos which are always usefull hope this helps snake

if u had sent it via recorded delivrery, u can prove they have recived it??? and then inform the police, cause technicly by keeping it they are stealing??? although they them selfs did not win the auction etc, they are keeping smthing thats not rightfully theres, and thats steaing in my books#? -
hay, heres the servo mounts i used, i originally baught them for my tt-01 ut at that price gona re order :-) link as for the dfo3 shack tower, used this part from the standard plastic towers, its the top bit the shocks mount to on the rear tower. its a nice tight fit, not picture is not the stock item its just to show u which bit i used (circled in red) hope this helps snake
-
yo, yea u have to remove the original speed controlers servo, and plug the new one in the the recivers in the servos place! use some sticky back tape or cable tie to hold the esc in place, the esc u have baught is not water proof so be carfull of were u run the car!, or put it in a box/ballon etc.... just be mind full it may get hot and cut out if the motor is to hot, or there is no cooling, hope this helps snake
