    In my case one channel , my right aileron, was not operating but the left one was normal. so i switched positions on the receiver and the right one worked, but the left did not. ….so this would indicate the receiver and servos are ok. So this is a tx setting problem ? if so what am i missing ?

    @KenastonKid could still be the rc or TX. Only way to rule that out is another TX or rx to test with.

    Gotta love KZread. My dad got one of these for $25 bucks and thinks it's so cool he wants it converted to hobby grade electronics. I'm very grateful to see a teardown of the front diff case and servo install, that to me looks like the hardest part.

    Been trouble shooting my sons RC. It started with no response in steering. I checked it out, and the servo had sand around it. I replaced the servo, and the new one had a steering response, but randomly didn't respond to left turns and would twitch. The company sent a replacement that has random no response also but the servo will twitch if I tap on the top of the controller.

    Maybe a smaller diff output cup with the 3 racing universal shafts, have you also tried one of the little clear donut washers in the diff output cup to buffer the universal shaft? When turning that far it sometimes creates a space between the back of the diff output and the dogbone on the uni shaft

    Ok what if your ESC does not respond unless re "binding" the remote every time you turn you car on?? I have a hpi savage xl and I fixed a couple things then after putting it back together I turn it on, no beeps from the ESC.... Turn the remote off and hold the bind button and turn it back on it then beeps. Wait 2 or 3 minutes it works?

    I've had a receiver do this. I needed to rebind it every time. It still worked well, but I ended up changing the radio set completely as the receiver in question was no longer available.

  • @TheLEDwheel
    @TheLEDwheel2 ай бұрын

    Odd that mine does not, even after years of use. Just make sure the play is not due to the ball links moving in their mounting points. Like in the skid plate, move them and pay attention to what exactly is loose. The ball in the ball end or the ball on the screw/mounting point. I'm not sure that's clear..

    Seeing as the steering arm sits on the flange of the bearing why not drill all the way through. Also counter sunk screws work better to secure bearing as they don't bind on side of bearings

  • @TheLEDwheel
    @TheLEDwheel2 ай бұрын

    Agreed, but drilling all the way would weaken it way more than it needed to be. Also, for the screw type, the socket cap kind of hides the bearing, making it look like there's just a washer underneath. Therefore, it looks stock ish. If i had longer zinc type phillips i would have used those. All in all it works well.

  • @TheLEDwheel
    @TheLEDwheel2 ай бұрын

    I abused mine and its still good but yes there is always a way to modify it. Just have to find the right width and then fit it to the chassis. But some adaptations/mods will most likely be needed. Boom racing might have axles that fit width wise. Otherwise maybe Injora!?

    That is important info. Check that your antenna is still connected inside the transmitter . Maybe try something. While binding, bring the receiver as close as possible to the transmitter antenna base area. If it binds, you possibly have a broken antenna wire.

    The reason why i want aluminium is because of the colour just pops more than the plastic. Saying that i will not be doing so. This might be stupid to some people but i have done it and works perfect. Just strip the plastics you want aluminium and plastic spray paint them. Looks just as good. Only problem is they can scratch if you are on gravel, stone ect. For me its perfect as i only drive mine on grass so no scratches.
