Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / July 2006problems with new cenracing mini madness
Hi there. Just purchased from a mini madness. Even when selecting full reverse nothing happens. It may occasionally roll backwards very slowly then full speed reverse. Basically 5 seconds or more from standstill to reverse after the command is given. More of an immediate concern is that after hitting a curb the wheel popped off. I assume this is designed to do so and I succeeded in popping the ball joints back in. however while testing a full turn to the left causes a clicking noise at the full extent of the turn. Turning right is fine. It sounds like the servo is still trying to turn even when reached the full turn. This is especially odd since the right wheel is the one that popped off. The truck still functions but I'd rather not ignore the noise until it becomes something more serious. Ta! Inline.................. > Hi there. Just purchased from a mini madness.

Most ESC's have a "stop" between forward and reverse, in that the ESC will delay reverse for a few seconds until it's sure the vehicle has stopped moving forwards. This is to prevent gear damage. This delay is usually 1-2 seconds; 5 seconds does seem a bit excessive. I'd call CEN about it. > More of an immediate concern is that after hitting a curb the wheel popped > off.

Pop it apart and check all the gears for broken or ground-down teeth. You might need a new steering servo. HTH, Doc thanks mate. emailed cenracing customer support. > Inline.................. > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Doc |
