EEEEK! Problem....

[Sylvester]

Hey guys, sorry about this thread, but its in the sake of my truck. So me and mike.l are bashing in my backyard, and i gun it, i let go of throttle, and it keeps going:eek: It crashed right into a wooden fence, head on with the bumper, luckily no broken parts (this was at the 40mph mark).

So i disconnected everything, and checked if everything was alright, so i plugged in the batteries and went off, i gave it throttle gradually and it took off again, but this time it killed itself, it just went from full throttle, to a rolling stop. Whats the problem guys? Thanks.

P.s: Its a 10l/9920 on 16 ib4200's / Spektrum DX3.

Anyone, please. I just tried fixing the problem, i tried re-binding my dx-3, at the last step, everything turned off, than went nuts. It went full speed into the wall, it burned some of my carpet, and my hand, and it broke a couple of tiles. It also demolished my DX3, gonna have to go to the hobbyshop for a replacement. I just have the feeling RC is not for me.

with a forum Join Date of Feb 2005, can't stop now...... with 1 month under my belt and $400 in upgrades or repairs already, i look to you all for help and guidance.......

keep ur head up, eyes open, balls covered, and you'll get it fixed.

You have any other radios to try?

"RC is not for me" doesn't work. TRUST ME. After 4 controller replacements, you kind of tend to get used to bad things happening.

Oh my!
What have you done now dom?
How many knots did the woman put on your head after she saw the tiles broke?
I have not had nothing like this on mine. I have noticed that it has a fail safe built in. When I first plug it up it wants to run wide open reverse. I have not run it out and had it kick in while playing.

Well, could it be the problem that i have to re-program the esc? Before when i had 14 GP 3300 batteries it never did this, but now the the 16 ib4200's it is different. Could it be the problem?

[coolhandcountry]

Once I got mine programed Unless i changed like rx or radio I never had to reprogram it. I don't know what to tell you. It sure sounds crazy.

[Mike.L]

man just joking around but when brushless is uncontrolled lives and everything around you is at-stake im just joking around here but me and sylvester got tire burns from trying to get that thing under controll.

Man.....

[Sylvester]

Yeah, im gonna have nightmares tonight... My responces are practicly bald from todays incodent.

[Mike.L]

ya when it hit the wooden fench that was freeeekky!

[coolhandcountry]

I can believe that. The tires spinning at 40 mph don't have to touch you long to leave a mark. The spektrum had a problem on them and showed slyvester on the site. I don't know if this is problem or not. It is a little thing with the way the antenna wire is run inside the rx.

That fault was inside the transmitter,if it's the 'shut down' fault they show on their site.It's the way the antenna is routed inside the transmitter,if it's routed over the board it's too short and needs to be relaced,it should go under the board,anyone with a DX3 needs to open the transmitter to check.

Edit:er,it doesn't apply to the DX3(i think),that fault is definately within the transmitter module but it's just for people using modules.http://www.spektrumrc.com/Articles/HobbyWire.aspx

Thanks, i have found that the reciever may be the problem, gonna try the stocker out in just a moment! I wonder if the 1 year warranty is garranteed for any crazy bl trucks going over it? Ill just have to see.

[Mike.L]

plz get that thing fixed man today! that was weird the tire threw the controller and the entenna snaped.

uhhhh.....:025: :025:

Well boys, i think i solved my problem, the wire inside the reciever was hanging on 1 thread, and the transmitters wire was unclipped so i took it apart and clipped it on there, i tested it out, it seemed fine, just gonna do some more testing tomorrow.
