TLR 5b basher

[DougStar]

Took the servo out opened it up looks 100% gears ect electronics no missing teeth no burns i used the the adapter for power and the kbee. Did have it give me a complete power failure on the day of the runaway.
840 lead is also perfect

Did you try direct off the rx yet?

 

[Z.hb71]

Bet it's the motor in the servo

you make it sound like a crime, with multiple parts as the suspects

Yeah works great

Not a crime but if I look at it your way may as well bin the whole rig

 

[DougStar]

Just grabbed this extension from my local Hobbie shop hoping that it will solve my issue
I have my switch connected and this will do my killer bee

 

[DougStar]

Started doing the 5t arm swtich with the flm cvd drives on the left is 5t right is 5b

Quite a big difference

I think that's gonna be good for the buggy. I bought that setup for my 5iveB right before I sold it. Never got a chance to install and try it out tho. Keep us posted.

 

[DougStar]

Will do yes it will be more stable
I'll see if can finish this up tomorrow and maybe a bash on Sunday

I wish they made 1.5 inch wheel exerenders, all I can find is one and two. Now here’s my question, when measuring wheel extensions, do you need to remove the length of the hex that goes over the extender
Really want the look, just too expensive to do it your way

 

[Seandonato73]

Harder on your wheel bearings doing it how you want to

 

[RcJunkie13]

Yeah, that’s why I am tempted to go with the 1inch, anything above that will absolutely destroy them

you knooooow you couuuld always just grind them down a bit and then drill it with a press drill.

 

[RcJunkie13]

That’s not a bad idea

 

[DougStar]

Got everything mounted up
Wasn't with out a bit of modding..... had grind the front diff case a bit
The hemis on the ufc turnbuckles are so huge need to make some space
But not too worried dosen't impact on strength and once every thing is bolted up you can't even see
Swapped out the brace inserts from 3d toe in to 2d on the rear
Other thing I notice .....with longer arms there is more leverage and the shocks feel softer than before may need to up the spring rate
These are the flm cvd out drive pins .....when I used them I could not get the inner hub bearing on pins are a tad longer so just used the stock pins ....quite happy with how it turned out

 

[KevTrem]

Looks good that Doug, should massively increase stability.
I have a question, why did you have to grind the front diff housing??

 

[DougStar]

Coz the hemis where making contact with the case and I was not getting full steering

Ah that makes sense now.

Rekon i worked out what my issue is
At about 30m there is a signal issue with my rx tested the radio on my other cars and ther is no issue there?
The signal bars on the futaba are absent at 30m out may not be the entire problem but its definitely part of the problem
