spur b4

[bigred5765]

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

[stampede vxlboy]

if i do that it will turn the wrong way

[bigred5765]

u can do it just on the throttle,

[stampede vxlboy]

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?

[jhammond]

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.

[stampede vxlboy]

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

[Timee80]

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

[jim76]

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.

[jhammond]

I'm in agreement.

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

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

[stampede vxlboy]

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

[stampede vxlboy]

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

[jim76]

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...

[stampede vxlboy]

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

[sparrow.2]

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!

[stampede vxlboy]

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

[ashleyb4]

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.
