Ayk Viper Questions...

[Hibernaculum]

G'day,

I have a new built AYK Viper, but the instructions (which quite frankly, are terrible!!) don't show how/where to attach the resistors of the mechanical speed control. Obviously since resistors get red hot, they can't just be zip-tied to the pipe frame or anything plastic. But every option I consider seems risky. If anyone has a Viper and has done this, could I see a picture?

Also, when putting the tyres on the wheels, they need to be glued. Is there any particular glue I should use for that? The wheels have no backing on them, so the tyres just slide on (very different to Tamiya wheels). The glue would need to be flexible and strong. I'm not sure if super glue is good enough (due to brittleness).

Any advice appreciated.

cheers,

H.

According to the manual http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...57131&id=39 they should be zip tied to the rear guard, underneath the motor, which acts as the heatsink.

For tyres you would glue them on with a rubber contact adhesive, mainly because we didn't have superglue to do the job then. Superglue seems to work fine on all modern wheels and tyres without a problem.

Ahh. That suggests there's 2 versions of the manual. Mine is only 10 pages in total (2 of which are wasted with an exploded view diagram) and contains none of that step 15 detail

Mystery solved, thanks for the link!

cheers,
