Ive got mine, Super glued the edges of the shock tower and just opened the holes out a bit as they were a bit too tight.

Rebuilding mine right about NOW

No that is for bonded.

Didn't they go out in like the 90's? ;)

hehe:p
:oyeh same as none changable sensor leads:o

Only for the companies that couldn't get the speed out of them :rolleyes:

Ellis what aeriel mount have you used, it looks like it's part of the 4gear designed chassis where as most others are easy to notice as an aeriel mount as the new chassis doesn't have an aeriel mount on the opposite side to where the reciever used to go???

In the olden days, when I ran 40mhz (LOL), I routed the aerial back past the servo and used the original mount.

I realised this was risky, crossing allsorts of wires, but had no issue ever. The only time I got interference was with my X-5 somehow, although I was ultra-anal in the wiring in that. madness.

Now I have 2.4ghz, i just tape the aerial down to the chassis out of sight.

any pics, (x-6)

thanks kris.

I can take a pic, but there is really nothing to see, just a bit of insulation tape holding the aerial down in a curl like a pigs tail next to the receiver.

I see I'll be moving on to 2.4 when i have about £350 just floating in my wallet... rare time for that to happen!:o

Do you not get any problems with this Chris as I have been thinking of doing the same thing.

Why £350? if your using sticks then the futaba one (cant remember name) is about £160 ish.

Cos i'll be after the latest KO vantage, i really like it :p but it costs a nice fortune :( I just finished building my new X6 4 gear so i can use my new shell instead of that horrible red thing i had at teeside haha you should see it at yorcc if you come its a piece of art by tel :)

for Spektrum chris, is it essential to have one of those voltage protecter things??

i'm thinking of ordering spektrum soon, but im just totting up the prices.

cheers

I actually cut the aerial mount off an old X6 chassis and stuck it on the chassis the other side. Nothing flash.

E.

Tut, come on Spence mate, I wouldn't do it if I had problems would I? LOL

Nah, don't need one of those power caps for it, as the Novak GTB supplies enough power to the BEC for it to work well, its the LRP and Nosram which supplies less power and the power cap would be advised. Although I know of a few who don't, and have no issue.

Chris

I made one out of an old (small) Mtroniks 'power cap' and an old servo lead, i.e. all free. My Spektrum has worked flawlessly from the day I got it, though I do have aerials on both my cars at the moment but might bin for next years shells.

would it be ok to route the aerial wire past the servo if it was inside some silocon or shrink tube :confused:

we did exactly that run it over the servo, and run all weekend indoor nps at all,
but as Chris said if you start to get interference then start from that point to get rid of it , try it and see

i'll give it a whirl ;), another question about the shims for the bk axels :) can you use standard washers :confused: i have some tamiya shims but i would need a shed load and thought it be better with one correct size washer as long as i can get the right diamater as i imagine the the axel wont spin in the hub properly if it isnt the right size :wtf:
