Interesting setup you have going there..haven't seen the mamba being asked to to do that before...

batt wiring:

plug- -batt +- batt + +plug

Single plug, one continuous circuit thru the 2 batts.

You can check out the lipo wiring page on R/C Calculations. It's the second section. It's really for lipo packs but its the same idea for any pack really.

Can you please limit to 1 thread. There are several thread about this brushes revo here now. Please limit.

[t-maxxracer32]

ya sorry about that figured id get better help inthe brushless area...

but anyways the revo isnt driving likeid like it to... it has virtually no range. is verry laggy. doesnt always go when i want it to. seems to be somekind of problem with the reciever/transmitterproblem. im using the jrsx3 so it should have any problems... would the wire placement matter? (there are wires coming everywhere.

also the battery holding situation is kind of bad... i dont reallyknow whereto put them.. i found 2 places for each battery to go but there not very sturdy.. will work for now with the test runs but idk..

maybe ill post picslater lol... just kinda not feeling likeits worth pics at thetime!

It's best to keep the antenna as far from any AC (motor) wires or high-current wires (battery) as possible to limit interference. Also, if the antenna wire has a break somewhere, it can have intermittent connection causing sporadic trouble.

To help with any problems, we'll need pics. :p

Serum; if having multiple threads for the same thing is not desired, could the various threads be merged?

ill have to get pics for you then lol ill uploadem right now.

[t-maxxracer32]

Pretty sloppy wires, lol, but looks nice. How does it do with the MM esc? \

Have fun with it.

[t-maxxracer32]

lol the wires are HORRIBLE. well for right now the whole truck runs like crap. here are some reaons

no range
always cuts out and comes back
batteries are jimmyrigged on
something happened to my a123 charger so i cant charge the batteries anymopre...


slowly but surely ill fix each problem!!

here are some newer pics with my "clean wire job"

[jnev]

Now that looks good. Clean and organized. I love how the zip ties match the rims too. :005:

What charger do you use for charging your a123 cells?
