New build coming up

[slowngreen]

Just snip them off and tape them up or shrink wrap them.....Or just wait till you get your BEC and then you will already have some leads to solder to.

Thats what I was thinking.

As far as your On/Off switch being set up right as long as when you plug in the battery and it comes on then it is done right, in case you are interested the on/off switch wires come out under where the lights are for the forward/neutral/reverse lights are located, I just made a little jumper wire and soldered it across.

 

[EddieB]

there are lights? lol

 

[abadk9420]

Well there should be, LOL!!!! red green and amber. but my amber colored one on mine burned out, one to many trips into the water at a comp maybe, LOL!!!:whhooo::\

 

[EddieB]

i havent hooked it up to power yet, I'm pretty sure the 3 little itty bitty tiny rectangles are the lights, there is a gob of solder that does not look factory under that, so I would say the prev owner bridged it with the solder.


On a different note, My patience is about gone, I am WAY past ready for these parts to get here...lol

Thats a long time.

 

[EddieB]

.....and there is some random problem, he ordered the parts but didnt get a conf email or shipping info yet. That stuff was ordered monday. And from what I can tell stuff is really slow at punk rc right now.... so it will be a while still.

 

[slowngreen]

Oh no! Dont order from punk, order the switch from ckrc! Punk has had problems with coming through.

 

[EddieB]

too late sir, i actually noticed that ckrc was having probs recently getting them, all this was noticed a few days after the fact of course, I saw a thread on rccrawler about punk rc, and read the recent and a few peeps are having issues, the guy making them has had some hard times, hell I've waited this long, I can wait longer, just hope the materials dont de-compose before i can use this thing...lol

At the pace ur going the rubber on ur tires might start cracking before this thing sees any rocks, LOL!!! JK!! It will get there, might not be till the 2 year anniversary of the build though, LOL!!

The tires have seen rocks, and the suspension has seen rocks already, Does that count? lol

Only if it was while being driven under its own power by remote control on your rig, LOL!!!:whhooo:

 

[EddieB]

Good thing i got some new tires on order....lol.... maybe.... still havent heard anything........... . . . . . . . . . . . .

Well if waiting this long to finish this build hasn't killed you, I don't think waiting a little longer will, LOL!!!!!

 

[EddieB]

ever heard of the straw that broke the camels back? lol Its getting there....lol

 

[abadk9420]

You know you could always just sale this one and buy the new Axial XR10 that should be out next month, LOL!! JK!!! but that is the way I am leaning towards now for my next comp rig, I have been hearing real good things from a very reliable source about them...

 

[EddieB]

yeah, but how would I ever make up for time invested? LOL

 

[slowngreen]

Just my opinion but the axial isnt anything "revolutionary" by no means. Its just another MOA rig on the market, which in itself is awesome. Now Berg and Bully arent the only MOA axles to buy. Id stick with this one Eddie, atleast get it finished. lol
