My E-Revo questions and build

[jnev]

Looking good!!

Trays are plastic, shock proof in a temp range of -40 to 80 centigrade. It's an mailbox. lol
They were supposed to have a sidewall at outside and back. And to be an perfect fit to chassis, but as said cutting then in a hurry I cut them from wrond corners of the box, so I made mirror images. Had to modify chassis sides flat and now it has sidewalls at font and back. bummer.

More progress



How have you guys attached the MM controller? It has no screw holes or ears to attach with...

[Serum]

Double sided tape works like a charm..

[BrianG]

What about making a flat plastic plate with mounting "ears" and glueing/epoxying that to the bottom of the MM case?

Moi muuten j-man ! Kiva projekti, mullakin on e-revo:005:

I go with nics j-man and v8440, somebody took stole my nick :035:

Would I get away without an flat spot on the motor saft? :032:

[BrianG]

Personally, I'd put a flat spot. These motors have lots of torque and the grub screw might slip creating heat for nothing. It's easy to put a flat spot with a dremel.

[j-man]

Ok. I've got an cheap dremel copy, and I destroyed all my grinding bits on the chassis. I'll take the motor and all electronics to work tonight.
Night shift is good for doing stuff that can't have kids around :005:

Maybe I'll get it running tomorrow, if I figure how to usen my "new" radio, Futaba 3PJS. Prior to this conversion, I only owned an E-maxx for 3 months, before selling it to a friend and it had the stock radio, 3PJS seems alot more complicated.

[j-man]

One more thing, motor wires, MM has red, black, white and 10XL motor has red, green and yellow. I figure red ->red and others anyways they happen to go, just different rotation direction if reversed...?

Sorry dout all the dumb Q's.

[BrianG]

Motor wire "polarity" doesn't matter. I usually hook up red to red, black toblack, and white to white at first. If the motor spins the wrong way when forward throttle applied, swap any two wires. If the mismatched colors are aesthetically displeasing to you, cover the offending wires with colored heatshrink. :)

[j-man]

Finnished! I did move. Not very fast tho, couple of mph. I did have the punch control to 100% and radio setting arent set. And it raining so have to test better later, my 2 year old gets scared if I drive it inside...



No cliching, but the ESC makes a sqeel kinda noice at first. Normal?

[jollyjumper]

yes mine squeeled aswell, most esc's do that.
only when trottle is very low, right?
oh yes, nice work.
