revo acting up...
 

hey guys i posted a thread a little ago saying how i got the revo... well its not exactly working like i had hoped. here are some problems

the tranny keeps coming loose (last time it did all i did was open it up and put it back together then it ran fine... and now it fell out again)

also the truck is going psycho when driving it. like im getting some crazy interference.

very bad range

not exactly going when i floor it.



pretty much something is wrong with the receiver/transmitter and i needa find out how to fix that tranny problem (i have the emaxx tranny)

thanks for your guys usuall help!

Are the tranny screw holes stripped? If so, I'd just get new a tranny case - it might have simply been put in and taken out too much before you got it. After all the threads are only plastic...

Brushed motors can be noisy because of the arcing of the brushes. I would move the radio as far away from any high current wires and the motors as possible.

no there not stripped.. i screwwed em in as tight as they can go. they wouldnt go anymore.


and ill try and reroute the the receiver as much as possible.

are u running a ubec, or a rx pack? and what kind of radio are u using?

no im not running one yet...

and im using the jrsx3 system

how many cells do u have???

wrap ur rx in tin foil a few times so there a bunch on it, its cuts down interfearence so less glitching... helps me, but i went to specktrum, no probs now :D

i dont have an rx yet. (an rx is a receiver pack right? lol...)

or does that mean wrap my receiver in tin foil?

thx

reciever in tin foil..

rx i reciever

Also, do your motors have capacitors installed on them? If not, that could be a huge contributor to your glitching problem.

yeh thats true also, forgot about those lol

use 2 caps if u dont, on each motor

where can i get these "capacitors" you talk of. boy i wish i was electronically advanced!!

radio shack haveem? if so a link would be coo! i could pickem up after work!

thanks as always guys

These should do it:

On each motor, you'll want one between each terminal and the motor can as well as one between both terminals.

so wait how many do i need?

2 on each motor.

your going to need 6. Or 4 depends how badd the glitching is. I'd prefer 6 always.

one on postive-to can.
one on negative-to can.
and one to positive then to negative.
They have no pollaritys so you''l be fine....

alrighty ill go pickem up right now! and then ill prolly ask how to installem... lol

ill let you know!

thanks!

alright i go them. so how am i going to wire up 6 capacitors on 2 motors?

each motor only has a pos and neg connection coming out of it just to let you know.

thx

Just do what Mike.L said...

Solder one capacitor from a terminal to the motor can
Solder another capacitor from the other terminal to the motor can
Solder the last capacitor directly from terminal to terminal
Repeat the process for the other motor

o...

yours made a little more sence... i guess i didnt understand exactly what he was saying..
