SWITCH THE TRANSMITTER TO SERVO REVERSE, IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I SAID ABOVE IS RIGHT THERE ARE NO BRAKES IN REVERSE,

if i do that it will turn the wrong way

u can do it just on the throttle,

i had decide to sell it i have seen something else i want.
its running fine now does it make the car slower if the grass is wet?

Wet grass increases the drag, so yes, it would slow anything moving through it.

Why are you selling it if it's working fine? I assume it's working again because you listened to "bigred5765" and it was the throttle inverse that solved it?



Julius.

no it was not the handset set its coz of the power of the motor

sounded to me like it was just a loose slipper and this would also cause the noisey spur.

so you get a new car, set it up wrong, ask loads and loads of questions, possibly get it going ok, then decide to sell it.

why oh why does anyone bother to help you?! just get your next car from a shop, ask them for help so they can show you first hand.

I'm in agreement.

This chap seems to pollute this forum with unnecessary topics; most of which have been heavily covered before.

Bullshit. I know a lad who tried a 3.5 in a b4 for a laugh. It stopped as well as anything alse I've ever seen.

i have just tryed my mamba castler esc in it and it 10 times fast and the brakes work fast as hell but when you start of it start squrals when setting off i am not selling it know keeping it

It squeals because you've built it wrong / your diff is still fooked

why it fine with the ezrun but not as power full mambacastle
i have look on the manual and its how i did it

could it be that the diff it too tight or the slipper is too tight

TAKE IT TO A SHOP OR CLUB!

Diffs and slippers only squeal if they are too loose.

Build both according to the manual using associated diff grease for the big balls and associated black grease for the thrust bearing (the little balls)

You can then even plop in a 3.5 turn and it won't squeal...

i have took it to a shop the said it was down to the power its when you set off only

Mate I've run a 4.5turn on carpet and driven it like a berk for fun and there wasn't the slightest sqeak from the gearbox. They are tough as nails!

its fine with ezrun but not the mamba i would like to use the mamba as it is hell of alot faster

More than likely you have a diff bearing out of line inside or its to loose. Or your slipper is to loose or your spur gear is melted or your slipper pads are melted.

A

slipper no far from full tightened and the diff run fine with the cheap esc

So you have taken the powerful brushless out and put the slower one back in to try to see if it still works??

A

this sound fooked up but it fine with the ezrun and my traxxas vxl esc ? but make a funny noise with mamba

no just tryed 2diffrent esc it and it work geat i am going to try my other ezruner esc in it know and see the diff must be ok coz it does not make a noise with any of the other esc i have tryed

Next time your foot itches scratch your back...

HAHAHAHA

just tryed it with a diffrent ezrun and it fine brakes etc and the vxlesc hell of alot faster as well but there too big to use it in the car as they are big esc and the mamba make a noise but run fine in my traxxas rustler bandit vxl

haha

might be a daft question but have you got your slipper pads in the right way round ?, if it only makes the noise on the more powerful motor the slipper wont bite as good. you cant just tighten up your slipper to the max the buggy be horrible to drive around the track. check the diff again use plenty of greese on the diff get it running smoothly, other then that get your electronics sorted if you think its the problem. have you got any overheating problems?

no heat problem at all but it only happens with the mamba but its 10 times fast with this esc.l but make a funny noise . and the vxl esc is fine works great brakes etc. but 1 of the ezrun slower than the other plus there no brakes on the other ezrun brakes there but takes a long time to slower down. i need to pull the brakes 10 seconds before i stop

is the only 1 side you can put the slipper pads on or can you use both sides or not

Slipper pads are one either side of the spur gear - You have implied by this comment that you are only fitting on one side only - I think this may well be the root to a lot of your problems. Try reading the manual !, it's all on line at the team associated site. Might save a lot of basic questions if you do, people will be guessing for a long time what is wrong, if you have built the car incorrectly and stated it is built properly.

100's of posts later, it apears unlikely there has been anything wrong with your motor, speed controller etc.

P.S. Your spur will most probably be ruined now...:woot:

no there 2 slipper pads like all the other car etc and somebody said they go on 1 way instead of just put them on is there a special way for them to go on

The manual does not state that the slipper pads require fitting in any particular way round.

The manual is avaialble for download on the team associated site - it isn't here on oOple - go and look for it on the team associated site.:bored:

i have read the manual from front to back .it was somebody else that said it not me . about the slipper pads

sorry to say but the slipper pads indeed only go in one way lads. feel the surfaces of both sides of the slipper, you get a rough side and a slippy side. (You want it to bite on the rough side so put that on the out side so it rub against the plates. and just put a bit of greese on the slippy side and put it in place of the spur, stop it from falling out whilst building it back up as there pain in the ass to keep in place. stamp it sounds to me there nothing wrong with any of your spedo's just set up differnt to the transmitter. and also the modes like drag brake, full throttle, ect. reset them and follow the instructions and you be fine. if it takes 10secs to stop surly there no brakes at all!?, just rolling to a stop? that could be dangerous for you on the jumps and approaching corners

also the manual might not state that because its common sense!! use your head

i will try it got loads of solding to do. and got the do the diff again is the diff grease green in a little tube. but i will try it all out after tea thanks for the tips mate

green? i cant remember as i just sold my b4 to go into 4wd buggys. diff greese is black? but also you have the clear stuff, not sure, im sure it wasnt green. somebody else will know and tell you. i may be new to the forum, may i ask why people got somthing against stamp? fair enough he posts alot because this is the easyiest place to get answers and tips. and saves him a trip down the model shop.

Green is the "snot" that you use for building shocks.

Transparent silicon is the stuff for on the diff balls.

Black stuff goes on the thrust bearing.
