[quincey]

i know the speedo aint gonna win a worlds or even a nationals but mine wont even win a trip up the street!!....has anyone got a rtr that actually works??? mine cuts out at the nearest sniff of full throttle!!!,ive set it to the manual....if thats what you call a scrap of paper thrown in the box at the last second!....ive changed the radio to spektrum then to a ko propo set up....gonna try a peice of string next!....its just weird as soon as you hit the throttle its just cuts out? it will tootle round at half throttle but soon as you give it the beans..........dead!..
it says in the instuctions that there is " A more comprehensive setup guide" on the website....ive looked and i cant see it? i wished id bought the kit version now as im gonna be taking the speedo out now for something that works.......

What battery are you using?

What batteries are you using? brushless can have problems with low power nimh batteries.
I fully sympathise with you, i bought a vapour (1/8 electric) and it came with an instruction manual for the wrong speedo! Try googling the codes off the speedo, ansmann only rebrand products, you may get a manual online from the original manufacturer.

Mine did this and wasn't particularly fast. It turned out to be my lipos just couldn't cope - track power 25c 3200's

I have since bought some other batteries that are 3800 35c and its now not far off the 6t proper motor and speedo in my other car.

Only real gripe with it is that if you hit the brakes twice it then needs two stabs at the throttle to get going again. Would be better if it gave you a window to use brakes more than once before activating reverse.

ive tried 7.4v 25c 5000mah overlander lipo's in it and some trakpower 3200's then some moorespeed 4600's 45c? and then some good but old 4500 7.2v orion's....ive just took it out and replaced it with a lrp qc3 and a checkpoint 10x2 and i can now say....it flies!!!.....i can even make it flip over on command in the street(not very good for racing i know but still very funny).
i think the whats wrong with the speedo is that it's a friday afternoon special!!!:thumbdo wn:..
ah well....
