revo acting strange... NEW PROBLEM..

[glassdoctor]

Unless I missed it... nothing was said about the voltage cutoff. Double check that cause it won't run if that's not set right. (disabled is best for that setup)

Good point GD, I didn't even think of that. I just saw the way he had it wired and what he said the mode was and figured that was it.

If the spur turns as well as the input shaft, I would suspect that the problem is somewhere inside the tranny. Do you still have the shift fork and gear changing dog gear installed? If so, the shift fork may be in the middle of first and second gears. If using a single speed conversion, how are you locking the tranny in second gear? Are you using the steel idler?

another one

sheesh brian... lol dont knwo all of that stuff... im not even sure what gear it is in... and that pitch fork... how do i tell about all those things?

maybe ill get some pics of the tranny taken apart... lol

[BrianG]

LOL. OK, look at the pic below.



The hole is where the shift fork would go. It slides in for second gear, out for first gear, and in the middle for neutral. If it is not held in one position, it can move around taking it in and out of gear.

[Mike.L]

what position was it in, did you have anything to ceep it locked in?

[t-maxxracer32]

o its just sitting there lol what do i have to do to it?

[t-maxxracer32]

o i stick it in??? will do tha not and see what happens!

[Patrick]

It looks like you have nothing holding the shift linkage in place like the other guys said, so it's just falling in and out of gear.
If you push it in that will be 2nd gear, and if you pull it out that will be 1st gear.
Obviously if you want to be able to shift gears while driving you'll need another servo.

[t-maxxracer32]

lol no thanks you!! so if i lock it in first will that mean i have more acceleration but less top speed? right now it is locked in second

thanks

[Patrick]

Yes, 1st gear for acceleration, 2nd gear for top speed.
Second gear should have good enough acceleration though, depending on pinion/spur combo, and assuming thoose motors have at least as much torque as the titans.
Most people only use second gear.
