Another MM Q ~ Lawn Dart

[jayjay283]

As the title says I bought one of those $29 skate ramps from Toys R US, put a few bricks under the back for more air and was doing some 6-10ft jumps with my 8T till I lawn darted.. hard The MM shut off and when I turned it back on it had real soft tones. Nothing came loose or broke just the MM alert volumes are about 1/3 as loud when turning it on or the intermittent beeps. Seemed to run fine after that just low volumes. Did I just jar the speaker ?Anyone have this issue ?

[brushlessboy16]

there is no speaker, it plays the tone by vibrating the motor, check to see if the motor is mounted tight

[jayjay283]

I heard that it comes from the motor before, I dont see how lol sounds like it comes from the MM.. better check it all out closer

[brushlessboy16]

here try this, hold the motor and flip on the MM you can feel it

[mriccucci]

Yea the sound definitely comes from the motor not the controller. I agree with brushlessboy check to see if the motor is tight.

i had an out runner on my last car, through an aluminum mount onto an aluminum chassis. after i got it all mounted the loudness of the beep scared me..honestly... it was vibrating th e WHOLE chassis..

In my Vendetta ST, when the Mamba25 beeps through the motor you can see the whole car move. :-)

so I played with the wires and it beeped loud again but I think I broke it lol. I took it off and compaired it to my other neu. The shaft goes back and forth in the can a few mm. (front to back) The other ones shaft doesnt move at all. The bearing looks a tad popped out on the rear endbell and the shaft doesnt poke out like it does on the one I didnt break. Heres a bad pic, should I send it to neu or take it apart and push the bearing in a bit ? this blows lol


broken on left, good on right

It must have been a HARD crash! I say send it to Neu, they are known to have good customer service.

Bye

take the rear endbell off and inspect the internals. this will tell you what is going on inside.

Don't mess - Back to Neu I'd say

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Far out, that must of been a really hard hit. Best thing would be to send it back to Neu

[jayjay283]

took off his connectors and the endbell cover, boxed the poor little guy up, filled out his permission slip and sending him off to grandpa Steves in Cali tomorrow
