Redneck Paycheck

New as in sealed still. Bracey had that special $50 and it blew my mind seeing it still sealed. Anyways I have no clue about changing 50/50 70/30 in my controller never seen that option going through the screens or the manual. It only does it if you tap it into reverse less then 5-10 seconds. If you hold it in reverse for longer then 10 seconds it dont do it. It only does it about 75% of the time. Also I never ran caps on my first super rooster with my lathe but water killed that one. I tried no caps, caps, It doesn't even get off cold running it. I hope to god when I call novak monday they don't say it is bad or it will be the second one going back to them in a month .

I have never had a problem with Novack in over 15 years. The new brake/reverse feature on there new esc's is why I quit running them.

and I always run caps if the motor doesn't have them, it's the rule of RC since day one and esc's, I don't care what all the guys that are getting buy with out them say. In fact, a warrenty can be voided if that (no caps) was the cause of the failure.

I'm going to tinker with it all weekend and see what happens. Worse comes to worse it gets sent in for an overhaul.

I really like that rig It looks cool and looks like it works well.

Thanks alot. It still has a few teething problems to work out but atleast there is no torque twist. This is the first build I have done to date where there was no sign of any at all. I can park it on a flat surface at 70* and hold the throttle open and all 4 tires stay planted and just spin. I really love this SW2 chassis :biggrin:

I think it is my receiver. I plugged my sons TQ2 up and it worked perfect. So now I need to get my brother to go get his truck so I can try his receiver and controller to decide which is the problem.

Got bored today found out my problem was my new lathe motors can. I put a different lathe in and havent had any troubles. Drove it for abit till I started bending links guess tomorrow I will finally put tube over the links. Here is what happens when you get bored and play with weight. Let me remind you there is a slick as snot delrin skid plate that is sitting on top of the tip of my round antenna tip:
