New throttle servo be brraapping again in no time
Plugged in new throttle servo and Im getting some chatter noise without any trigger input regardless of where end point is set or trim?? Anyone have any ideas? Running the killer RC 7200 and sr 3000 reciever.

 

[DougStar]

The steer servo doesn't make a noise until you give it some input...I'll have to keep an eye on it...the last servo just up and quit. Can't hear it when she's running anyway lol.

New to me shoes for the dbxl hostile mxt's even have a spare for the spare just haven't mounted it yet. Came with an rcmk 1200 se package I bought.
Got 2 of these with the deal alluminum 24 mm hex. Anybody know off hand what brand??

 

[Ron Young]

Swapping out the dbxl engine cage for the rcmk along with pinion carrier and emgine mounts. Had to dremel off a nub on rcmk mount for rear as stock dbxl.chassis has no hole.

Thrashed on this pretty hard today. Broke the killer rc windshield i'll be making my own to replace it. Front centre cvd threw a grub screw easy fix...rear cvd blew apart at the diff. Found the dogbone but thats it. So new rear centre cvd is in order? Is the flm worth the coin? Gotta pay in US and by the time I pay duty the rear centre is going to cost me $75 cdn.
Wonder if these rcmk cvds are the same size?
Nope...output shaft on the rcmk is smaller than the losi but the bones are larger lol...that designer was having a laugh.

Yes flm centers are the only way.
Now im going to be a peepee. Stop trying to swap rcmk parts over, till your done you'll have more money in the dbxl then what the losi 5ive B kit costs, and you can reuse your engine, tires, and electronics in that platform. Be light years ahead for reliability and parts availability and handling. The rcmk platform is better, but suffered from lack of parts worse then the dbxl platform. Don't want to see you running down a rabbit trail converting to hard to find parts.

Thanks man appreciate it. The only parts I'm using from the rcmk are interchangeable and I like the color lol. Just ordered the front and rear flm cvd's. Don't worry most of the rcmk parts are on the chopping block i only bought the thing cause it was cheap and I wanted the radio tires and wheels.
Not into the 5b at all but I am looking at a 5t build next winter.

Hitec is a stand up company. Can't tell you how many 645mg servos I bought back in the day for Tmaxx's Savages and Revos. Every one came with a hitec sticker or two. Long story short sent them an email asking if the stickers were discontinued? As I didn't get any with both new servos I bought. CSR got back to me and asked for my address so they could send me some. All I can say is wow this is what they sent.

 

[Seandonato73]

Glad they sent you some stuff, hope your servos hold up, and don't glitch like mine. It will be getting replaced with a hilantronics as soon as I have the spare cash.

Did they glitch right away? Mine are funtioning properly throttle servo was orginally chattering but it turned out to be reciever. I've always had good luck with the brand.
Got my order from daves today as well. Brand new windshield, turtle racing throttle bellcrank. That was 12 bucks vs the 100 cdn I'd have to spend to get the tps setup. Ddm is out of stock and tps has stock but uk based. Shipping is horribly expensive lol. Finally the flm centre cvd's rear is already installed and I'm waiting for t-lock to set up before I go do some testing.

 

[Seandonato73]

Mine sits there and twitches a bit. Functions fine other wise. Just don't trust it. Does the same on 2 other rx one a different brand of radio. At least it's just a steering servo.

 

[Ron Young]

Gettin dirty today

 

[Ron Young]

Local bash spot is perfect bit of a track carved out. Have yet to see anyone else use this area.
3 full tanks here today nothing broken. The turtle racing bellcrank took some doing to set up properly but well worth it imo.

 

[RcJunkie13]
