B44 - wiring
 

There's a few threads kicking about now showing off people wiring on other cars, i though that now i have mine it's about time people showed off how neat there B44 is :lol: I found it quite easy to get a neat job in it, even with a standard sized servo and a GTB it wasnt to bad, i'll stick some pics up in the morning.

Here's an old pic of mine.

I've tidied up the sensor wire a little more.

:thumbsup:

Nice josh :thumbsup:. Ill start nit pickin then haha. Just cut them cable ties flush and slide em underneath the top deck. SORTED :lol:

Ye, i might do something with the cable ties, there sharp as well :eh?: But im happy for now, i'll see how it goes :lol:

Mine has no cable ties on the top deck, just 1 by reciever to keep pt wire away from front drive shaft:p

Tight fit but that cap has to be shoo gooed
 

Here's a few pics of my B44
Ignore the unroar legal RS4MT...man I wish i could race this truck..but cannot.

The B44 has not very much chassis room...hard to get all the electrics
in it a perfect fit...but associated did that for a reason, to make the B44
tough and as light as possible. I have not broke a thing on my B44 in months.

what have you done to that shell and wheels!:wtf::o:cry:

Destroy them?

A

maybe he just wants to be different:confused::lol:

how different?;):lol:

How old are you B44'opheirgkber, i imagine you are only 12/13.

Just to let you know though, putting random stickers and attacking bodies with marker pens is not cool. Even if it looks cool in your head, it very rarely works out that way.

I`m sure Golf land are proud to have there name on the wing though:thumbsup:


I`m not even going to start on the wheels, im sure you know they are just wrong:thumbdown:

My shell didnt turn out very well :p i tried to paint it black and irridecent pink/gold :lol: but the irridecent pooled and it looks crap :(

time to break out the clutch fluid :D

Can i guess that you used tamiya irredecent can paint Josh?

Hey, Its josh but im at Alex's house :p Ye i used Tamiya Irridecent can paint, never again :thumbdown:

i like my cars to match, something wrong??

Your way off Lee, the guy is nearer 28 years old!

Single-handly destroyed RCTech.net with his posts, and now he is here:thumbdown:

Well, lets not start drama here now...;)
Be nice to me and I'll be nice to you also.:lol:

I this thats also known as bribery.

It only works if you learn to do extremely thin layers at a time and wait till its completely dry between coats, i've done a few b4 shells with the irresdecent paint, first 1 went wrong as yours did with it pooling then second one went really well :D

here's mine, ooop's that's a BJ4 WE :drool:

need to do something with the ariel wire though

Not bad Glenn, wrong car but neat :woot:

Are you racing that on Sunday?

I've entered, but that doesn't mean I'll get there :woot:

How come? i cant wait now :thumbsup: just need to strip it down it change set up (well, shocks anyway) also i want losi shocks :cry:

Hi Guys, forgive me if this is a stupid question, but as in the pic above, the motor wires go under the top deck, which means they are quite tight resting against the motor, is this ok? or when the motor gets hot will this do any damage to the wires, or possibly cause any interference? Or am I just being dull as when the motor gets hot the wires get hot too??

Just wiring my speedo in now and cant decide if I should put the wires under or over the top deck.

Thanks in advance,

Ben

This is fine but it is helpful to smooth off the topdeck edges so they don't dig into the wires

Ok, cheers Mike.

Short sensor wires
 

Does anyone know if you can buy shorter sensor wires for LRP controllers, I need one about 30mm long (1.2 Inches) to allow me to wire up my car neatly without big folds off excess wire tie wrapped out of the way.

I think you can buy ones that are shorter than the ones that come with the speedo, as I am sure when my mate bought a Nosram package he also bought the optional shorter lead, but i think even the short version is quite a bit longer than 30mm.

Another question
 

Thanks for the reply Silky if I cant get one sort enough I will cut a standard one in the middle and solder it together and avoid having to touch the connectors

Next question is where to put the AMB PT, seems there are a few worries about the carbon chassis interfering with signals, suggestions and personal experience/recomendations would be most welcome

Maybe stick it to the bottom chassis plate and drill a 10mm hole underneath it ?

No need for that. Graphite doesn't cause any interferance with the PT's so anywhere will do really (I have mine on top of the servo).

But the B44 Chasis is Carbon?
 

But the B44 Chasis is Carbon not graphite ?

I can assure you there are no interference problems with pt's in the car, i've mounted mine just under the front dopdeck (red thing) as you can see in the pic, nice place out of the way :)
