Rc Monster Electric Conversion

[_paralyzed_]

I run the hitec servo and motor brakes, NO bec and NO problems.

I think I may test without mechanical brake and see if it will be good.
You've tested so it should go fine.
And it's much easier to connect everything.
Thanks

I also run a hitec servo off the esc, which makes things much simpler.

People have been running "HV" servos at 7.4v because 7.4 is a bigger number than 6.

A hitec servo at 6 volts is plenty strong enough to turn the wheels. People just like to brag about bigger numbers.

Use a castle bec pro. Every truck now has a castle bec independent of th ESC be it a micro, micro pro, mm, mm pro, mmm or mmmm (I have them all in use).

I saves trouble in the long run.

Got my esc and motor today.
Does stands that you should have on / off button off when starting esc?
Where is the on / off button located ?

[_paralyzed_]

There is no on/off button. The esc turns on when you plug the battery in and shuts off when you unplug the battery. Those instructions were printed for previous controllers that did have a switch. Just ignore the switch part.

There will be a large spark when you plug in the battery. Do not be alarmed at this, it is normal.

Thanks man.
That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure so I do not destroy anything directly.

Now it is ready.
Premiere tomorrow.
Hope that the boy comes with and film a bit so you can see what happened.

Now it has got to show what it can handle.
Not as clean as new, but it was fun.
5 charges in the sandy cavity.

I think it's time to protect that ESC a little more.

Looks like you had a ton of fun. Now get cleaning.

Now I got there they mechanical brakes.
Chage the gearing to 15/56 before I drove at 14/57.
A little movie about it, not so fun just a little test run.
becoming winter now: (

Water sealed my new esc today.
Took CorrisionX and dipped the whole esc, in it.
Have done so with a Mamba Monster before and it worked very well.
Hope this will be good for soon the snow come.
Some pictures of this ....
The last picture is when I ran the E-Maxx on 6 cells.

Nice! I'm glad you got it going.
