Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / March 2005why is it ?.....
that you get the electric car out for the first time since before winter (last week) and do a half of a lap in the backyard and smack a tree and break the front shock tower and a arm?.......... that you finally get to run the t-maxx, (like today) and you lose the front cvd diff pin after 5 mins.?.... that when (like today...) you lose connection at the cheap 4 AA battery holder in your buggy,.. that it runs faster than it has ever run?.. straight across a dirt field ,up and over a dirt hill where a pond is on the other side...... thank goodness for a small wire mesh fence or I would have been swimming..... sad thing is I had my new rx pack with me and forgot to put it in to avoid just this thing!.... yeah.. it's rc season again!....... > you lose connection at the cheap 4 AA battery > holder in your buggy, no failsafe? Yes I have a failsafe ...but if you lose power at the rx battery pack a failsafe will not work..the battery pack powers the failsafe. Most failsafes are only good for low power on the rxpack or low power or signal loss from the tx. The 4 "AA" trays flex on the corners and lose contact with the battery...it was even taped up with zip ties on it, however bumping around broke one of the zip ties and a corner "flexed" and lost contact. This has happened to me with more than one of these type trays..hence I am replacing all my models that have AA trays with 5cell rx packs. > > you lose connection at the cheap 4 AA battery > > holder in your buggy, > > no failsafe? yeah i know exactly how that feels. today i was racing around the parking lot. no trees here was driving my savage and wham right into one of those parking cement thingys. man, that thing ruined my day. front part of the truck was kinda messed. well I guess I have something do tommorow.....

I think things like this happen so we can upgrade with more expensive parts! > yeah i know exactly how that feels. today i was racing around the parking lot. > no trees here was driving my savage and wham right into one of those parking > cement thingys. man, that thing ruined my day. front part of the truck was kinda > messed. well I guess I have something do tommorow..... crashed my plane this saturday.

I also spent quite awhile crawling in the grass Sat. looking for my friends helicopter parts.... Good thing alot of the fun of the RC hobby is repairing,tinkering,and building them...otherwise sometimes it might not be any fun! > crashed my plane this saturday.

Yep, it is R/C Season again and all the models that behaved perfectly well before being put away for winter are coming out of their winter sleep..... and not liking it one bit...!!!, Very common problem with most models. Always best to check them out thoroughly before going out with them to get rid of the gremlins that have been hibernating in them !!!.....It's still early season so plenty time to get them up and running properly. Apart from that...Thank God winter is over....looking forwards to getting in a few flights myself this year as well as trying out some driving the new Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R that I have just about completed. SignatureRegards........Mark (BlueWaveStudios) www.scale-models.co.uk (Moderator) I don't feel to bad. I only busted a $6 servo saver on my Stampede. 30+mph into another Stampede. I am collecting so many spare parts in my toolbox its a joke. I try to have spares in case anything goes wrong. OF course I always break the one thing I don't have 2 of. > that you get the electric car out for the first time since before winter > (last week) and do a half of a lap in the backyard and smack a tree and [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > yeah.. it's rc season again!...... Thats part of the hobby,heck you had all winter to double check everything.I wish it would dry out and warm up here (michigan) a little so i can go out and break something:-) > that you get the electric car out for the first time since before > winter (last week) and do a half of a lap in the backyard and smack a [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > yeah.. it's rc season again!....... DAMN! I must have been the only lucky S.O.B. last weekend. Got out the beastie and it started, ran, and I didn't break anything. <note to self - push it a bit harder next time> Shannon why is it? ...continued... ...the next week.. an internal casting flaw in your .21 T-Maxx motor block drops a small piece of pot metal right into the connecting rod channel to lock up your motor?..... ...when you think your just ready to play..you just realize your last week runaway buggy stripped the servo gears after it dissappeared over the hill?......... you gotta love it, eh? > > that you get the electric car out for the first time since before > > winter (last week) and do a half of a lap in the backyard and smack a [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > yeah.. it's rc season again!....... > why is it? ...continued... > ...the next week.. an internal casting flaw in your .21 T-Maxx motor block [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > > > > yeah.. it's rc season again!....... yea makes it fun though dun it ??? its ether that or just going round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round |
