@betty.k : Is that TX still on offer? I'm getting real friggin impatient with this thing. PM me please.

@ everyone: If I go iW board can I use three bit cells to power it efficiently? I know ill need a stand alone charger but hey

Screw portability, and hail economy. I've decided that I will use the iW board and just run it at home only-ish. Th patch of dirt right outside my house is crying to be tamed and I need a quick fix

I can see me finishing the paint this weekend. I'm sanding it right now.

Let me know about the cells tho.

Three will be fine. I am running 3 in my import racer with the mr01 pcb.

I might be able to dig one up for you. Let me see what I can do and will get back to you.

Thanx sat4life, you guys are great

.

I'm sorry about my pissy-ass, undecided kid-shit. It's just so frustrating. I just discovered that the steering motor doesn't have a pinion

. Can I use the pinion off a bit motor? Cuz then i'll just plug the whole motor right in there.

I may have to buy a brand new MT, to solve the little problems I'm finding. And maybe to garauntee what's in the package.

Maxx

PS: I figured out the stripes for the body. (too lazy to post 8 words the right place)

Help!!

CrazyDave, Betty, ANYONE!!

I was trying a lil ting' on my basher. I decided I can't wait untill I got a TX to run the iW board I have. So I said, "hmmm

, What about a bit PCB?" . I have a 35MHz Lxx CB lying around (fetted by crazydave

)
and I said "what's the big difference between the ZZMT board and this? Plus it has FETs

"

So I go on a spree to figure out how i'm gunna charge this battery (200maH) . I went to the 3, yes three ,places on the island that sells electronic stuff looking for a micro plug of some sort. I figured the battery plug from a cordless phone will do (i knew they were no deans). So I asked around, and no one had any "No one will sell those, Barbados is not a service oriented country" he said, how true. Anyhow, at the last store the old owner says that they don't sell any either. But he goes in the back and gives me a dead cordless phone for me to use FOC. So a free phone is great. Straight home and straight to work.

I finished wire up the PCB to the chassis and wire the plug directly onto the battery bay on the controller.
When I turn the truck on and plug in to charge, I see smoke from the PCB. I took pics of the area that the smoke was coming from.

56K warning: I left them in high res so my helper could see them clear.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Maxx

EDIT: So I moved the charging plug from the battery bay and soldered them to the CB where the charging clip was. Now I can charge the car. But, I have no steering, why is that?

I am currenyly running 1 cell and the speed is piss poor. I can throw more cells at it and fix that, is 3 too much?
But will more cells fix the steering too?
Was the part that was smoking concerning the steering?
Since it is a bit PCB can it operate motorized steering?

I don't believe the bit pcb will work with the steering motor. I think that it has been mentioned before. You might have burned up the trannys for the steering.

Thanx a bunch Sat,

Can I get a confirmation before i fuck this thing through my side door?

fuck that thing through your side door

Yeah definately can't use a bit board. Need a H-bridge to drive the steering. Don't have any clue why it fried.

You can use a PCB from some of these stunt cars, I've seen. I tore a couple apart for parts. I should have the PCBs around here someplace. I'll check when I get a chance.

Hey betty,

The ZZSE board arrived today

So from australia to barbados via snail-mail takes Aug22 - Oct 3rd. Around the world in 42 days [6 weeks approx]

I may just start modding this one instead and get this going. Then use the iW board on another MT

Remember that Barbados is a speck on all maps and invisible on most

. So mail gets routed to many different places before it gets here. I think it's great time
