What am I missing?

He should have been able to just change the wires on the motor and ESC. Or is his motor sensored?

feigao's aren't sensored i don't know why he couldn't of swiched the wires....

O cause it is locked into second and i am guessing it is like a one way or am i wrong.

Thats what I thought.

No, thats just it, the tranny isn't locked. If it were, it wouldn't be a problem. When he switched the wires it simply reversed the motor direction, but the problem was that the OWB prevented it from moving...Which would be why he had to flip the diffs. Make sense?

OWB?

OWB = one way bearing

Hickoryhead · 11.12.2007, 11:24 PM

I understand the one way bearing now but where is it located?

Its built into one of the gears. I think the 2nd speed gear? Theres pictures of all that stuff in Brian's sticky about locking the Revo tranny.

O see I need to learn how to read. I was thinking in the Emaxx tranny. I have never messed with the Revo tranny yet. Sorry. I try to learn something new every day. Thanks Squee.

yah it was that i needed to flip the diff's and i tired to switch the wires but it did not work. but that day i locked it into second lol. so i did a lot of work that was not needed lol.

but its all cool i was showing it off at work today and i broke a lot of stuff. like the 1 spur gear, 3 wheel hex's, 1 front diff, 1 push rod, and 1 rpm arm lol.

i did not konw that a poll could do so much damage haha. but its all fixed and its good. i got to try not to brake it any more cause i dont get paid for 2 more weeks and today was an expensive day.

oh yah and i broke the tekno wing mount cause i was doing backflips off of the curb. hahaha
