Did a couple test hits with the 2900kv, XLX, and newly installed Amped Supa 8mm shafts. After a couple short burst runs... I noticed it was a quite bit louder and not responding on the return back. The rear driveshaft and drive cup weren’t connected to the rear input shaft any longer. No biggie, come to find out the input gear is now bent (hard to tell from the photo, but when rotating it’s no longer straight)... no biggie. I’m going to shim the shafts some how to get rid of some play before running again as well. Ordered a new one input gear and will set all my set screws again with red or orange locktite now that I’m running a bit more power. Anyway....
Right after this, I lost reverse. Forward is fine and normal. Totally odd to me. Here’s what I’ve done to try to figure it out so far and nothing has fixed it...
- changed the settings in the XLX to no reverse to reverse
- checked that my trims are not causing any issues
- rebinded my Noble NB4 and receiver
- removed all connections and reconnected
- checked batteries and used a different ones as well that are fully charged
- checked all soldered connections
Little stumped here fellas...
thoughts or things to try... I’ll give Castle a call on Monday if I don’t figure it out. I’ll also do a firmware update/reset and see if that works.
btw, the car hauls ass! Can’t wait to get it tuned up and do some videos with my new dji
