Who was wrenching today??? What did you do??

[9x19]

Tekno would leave there crying, and eventually redesigning the entire lineup. V3.0... coming soon.

I don't think they do anything... 'soon'

 

[9x19]

Made a few changes to the Asuga, changed pinion from 13T to 15T, finally got the street tires in today, but don't have them on the land-missile yet.

No More RTRs, you said....

It wasn’t rtr, I had to get it ready to run tonight

 

[Doom!]

Got battery plug on and rx/tx setup on new to us tekno, son is ready to run it tomorrow

Did you already get the ramp set up on the roof?

Not yet,gets dark too soon

I am sure you have noticed the buggies (Vorza) hit the ramps different than the trucks do. Your next project should be a nice smooth, curved surface, buggy ramp and landing pad

Not really a ton of "wrenching, but I did have to take a Dremel to the inside of the bumper to get the plate to fit without removing the hitch, love the look as I continue to add to my "redneck trail truck"

Did you cut a slot in it so the plate would slip through? Turned out great.

High speed night time roof jumping!!! What could go wrong???

Where is everyone getting these plates made? Do they make Aussie plates?

Yeah, and the Vorza wasn’t quite what i expected out the box (and I’ve learnt a bit since then ). I can’t wait to run it in its new form . Time just hasn’t been on my side with getting to things

Yeah, pretty much what I did, I like it

Think I may have found the issue with the mt410.

Kinda hard to see right now, but the cup on the rear diff was loose and rubbing the receiver box.

Would that cause enough load on it to trip the lvc with a fully charged battery? Did the same thing with two different batteries. Would run about 50 feet or so under full power and then cut off. The esc beeps say lvc. Put the first battery on the charger and it showed over 4 volts on each cell, also ran both batteries with no issues in the other rig.

Obviously it’s a problem that needs fixed, but this was the first run since it ate the balance plug last time out. It ran fine though then and the battery was at the cutoff voltage when I got it fixed.

Edit: also the truck would go fine at lower speed, but as soon as you went wide open it would cut off. Shut it off and turn it back on and it would go again

Little more progress. Diffs, driveshafts installed. Steering setup, shimmed. Loctite all over. RTV around bulkhead flanges to chassis.

@Lostinthewoods86 Do you have a lv alarm to plug in and test with?
I have run with battery sag that tripped the lvc but charged up full etc. Seems odd that 2 batteries would do the same thing.

Is it possoble your steering or servo is binding and browning out you esc?

Do you have a programming card just to run thru settings and verify nothing wonky happened?

Just random thoughts.

Good luck!!!

I don’t on this one, other rigs on other radios I have the telemetry set up.

This one is running a cobra 8 esc and the other one is running tekin rx8.

The batteries were fine in the other one, ran thru both packs in it.

I tried to check the esc settings but it doesn’t work with my wife’s laptop and mine that I used before is at work.

Steering seems fine.


Will add I’m pretty sure the lvc is set pretty high on this thing, it’s never been a problem before and it runs longer then the mt8 we usually bash it with, but the battery usually is at storage voltage when I put it on charger after a run.

I'd try and get into that programming.
I think thats the cheap place before swap-testing gear.
Maybe someone else knows your electronics better than I too???
