Brushless Racing REVO buildup lotsa pics!

Are you using the mechanical break or do you use the breaking setting of the esc?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The Tekno kit employs the use of mechanical brakes.

I know - i already own one of these .. i am waiting for my revo roller
I am gonna build it with a Feigao 8XL running on 4s Lipo and a hexTronik 120Amp controller.

My last problem -at the moment- is about wiring esc and the servo used for mechanical brakes

Ok - I didn't understand your original question. There are two ways to do it. The easiest is to plug a y connector onto the throttle port of the receiver. Plug the ESC into one ind of the y and the throttle/brake servo into the other. Be sure to disable reverse and braking on the controller. The other way will depend on your radio's capability. Some have the functionality for mixing channels. You can plug the throttle/brake servo into the third channel and use the radio programming to mix with the throttle channel and have them work together. You'll have to check you radio's manual to see if it has this feature.

Well currently I am mixing the third channel on my Hitec CRX with the throttle channel, this way the brake servo only moves in one direction. This is probably the best way to set it up. However, on my original setup I just used a y cable out of the throttle channel on the rx. Turn the brakes off on your esc and you can use the endpoint on your radio to adjust max throw on the brake servo (just as you would a nitro) because that setting won't effect the esc. Be sure the endpoint is maxxed out for the throttle, or positve endpoint, you only want to mess with the brake, or negative endpoint.
I hope I explained that well enough, if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask, and welcome to the forums

Wow, I type sloooooooow.., riceman beat me to the punch!

[mabu]

Oh ... i didn't think about mixing channels

i tried a setup now ... it is working well using a mx16-s

Thanks :)
