I can pretty much jump over anything now.:mdr:

Ill be picking up a CC BEC tomorrow. I made up a receiver pack out of some AA's and it worked perfect. So I know a external BEC will fix it.

Question? How many volts should I set the BEC at without frying the Spektrum receiver?

IIRC they can take up to 9v. The servo most likely can only handle 6v. Unless you also have one of the fancy-schmancy new JR 7.4v servos..... :tongue:

Cool thanks for the help. Ill set it at 6v or a little under and see what happens. Im just using stock slash servos.

Maybe somebody on here can answer these questions for me?

What is the orange/signal wires for on the output of the bec and is it needed?

I know you pull off the power wire coming from the esc to the receiver when using a bec. But can you pull the black wires out also? What I am figuring is just cut the red and black wires coming from the esc and solder on the red and black from the bec and just use the 1 connector from the servo to clean up the wiring. Like this:

Or if the black wires has to stay could I just splice the black on from the bec in line to its like this: I circled where im talking about.

Which way would work? Dont want to burn anything up but I want to keep it simple and clean.

I wouldn't go so far as splicing it in to the ESC Rx leads. Yes, unplug the RED connector from the Rx plug and insulate it. You don't need to cut the wire, just pull it out of the black connector. The black wire on the ESC RX lead is needed to ground the signal wire. It may make sense to splice the BEC power leads into the main ESC power leads to simplify the wiring a bit. But just use the Rx plug on the BEC and plug it into a spare slot in the Rx.

BTW, this is a handy website- http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_wiring.html. :smile:

I figured out the signal wire on the bec is for the caslte link to program it off the computer.

Eeek! I forgot you were using a CCBEC. :oops: Good thing you didn't listen to me and cut the wire off... I edited the other post just in case somebody else reads this thread.....

This is what I would do

Lmao

HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
That's too funny!!!!!
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Huh... I was expecting Linc... :lol: :rofl::rofl::rofl:

HAHA. Very nice. Very nice. Indeed.

Got it figured out today. Thanks for the help.

Picked up a CC BEC today and got it wired in and that fixed the power problem so were good to go there now.

Got the bec wired and and was able to fit it in the Stock radio box with the sidewinder. Fits like a glove and you can ever see it.

Then I decided to throw a CC 4600kv motor on it to see what it would do with the 3 cell. One word. Awesome. For about 15 minutes the the tranny went boom.

Geuss im going to have to go back to a axial trans with a dig and I will throw the R2D on my Edge crawler.

And of course a little vid. Didnt get much before it broke but it will wheelie, flip over on command, and haul the mail. It awesome.

Put a stock Axial trans in it to see how it would hold up. It worked great. Now to just get a dig.

Well I had to do some body work. Broke a big chunk of the bed off so I glued it back on. I dont believe it is coming off now. Seems stronger now then it did before. Didnt think to get some before pics but if you look in the background of this pics you can see the piece broke off.

And here it is with some primer. I will probably just leave the primer on there and not paint it. It adds some character. And some overall shots. Starting to look pretty rough. lol

Also a pic of the Reign RC scale whip antenna.

I keep breaking the stock 3 link mounts so I wish Axial would hurry up and come out with the scale 4 link mount. I desperately need one. lol

Love the primer gray.... :yes:

dude that truck is bad a$$, you have pretty much done what i would like to do, but did not know how the truck would take, most other videos trucks seems to have a lot of torque twist with mild power but yours looks great and the suspenion still seem soft good work, think you can post a list of parts used

Needs a gun rack in the rear window.....

Its pretty basic stuff.

The scx kit
Tamiya F-350 Hard body and everything that goes with it
Stock wheels and tires sjut fancied up a bit
RC4WD R2D transmission turned around backwards
RC4WD Scale lighting system
Slash Servos
Castle Sidewinder ESC
Castle BEC
I have used a few different motors
3 cell lipo
Chassis mounted steering servo

Thats pretty much it. Just a few other things here and there and what not. If you need anything else or some help just let me know.

Ummm is it still capable of climbing??

Not with the 4600 motor in it it wasnt. Thats why I am back to a slash motor and a 3 cell. Still can crawl and has plenty of speed for a scaler.

And a "Bubba for Sheriff" bumper sticker

Great lookin' rig.

Haha. Yea I still need to get some scale accessories and stuff to go in the bed. Also want to do a interior.

Time to start gathering up some ideas for a truggy. I want to do something kind of like this and also a front bumper/winch combo like the one pictured also. Should be pretty fun. Never tried anything like this so it will be a learning experience Im still gathering idea and looking at pics now.
