What did you break today?

[jondilly1974]

Thought about magnets, but would only work for on road. My Kraton still has body mounts.........for now.

I was considering magnet mounts for a new speed body but I’m not certain that it won’t interfere with other electronics.

I don't think so, the rare earth magnets are really strong but the field is very close range.

I might give it a try

@jondilly1974, what @L3phturn I believe is correct. A lot of the scalers and crawlers like to use them. It helps keep their look very clean and detailed. I'm just not sure what kind of force they could hold. An rc going close to 100mph, is a lot different than a rock crawler going 5. The sheer wind force might be too much for them to hold.

Ouch. Why did it break? Just way too much power? That's a big gear to strip.

I was doing a cartwheel tumble and tried to goose it a little to flip it back on to its wheels. Usually works. This time I heard a crunch and then a free motor spinning. I was probably 50ft away.

Got 5 minutes into a bash with the outcast, shattered the pins and a sun gear in my rear diff in my outcast with strapped backflips a couple days ago. The first time ever that I broke anything inside the diff. Usually just the ring/pinion. Luckily, after going through 7 ring/pinions last year, I have a bag full of nearly new inside parts.

I was quite irritated as I finished my first run with my ERBEv2 to LVC and found that the esc fan shattered, max6 oem fan with center support I put in it. So I had 6 nearly full lipo's to discharge when I got home.

Check you receiver. Make sure nothing came unplugged.

Sounds like your receiver isn’t connected to the ESC. Check the wire closely. Make sure it isn’t unplugged or backwards. Look for moisture too

 

[trupsy9]

I checked the voltage on the cable to the receiver ... 0V?

Ouch, at least it's a cheap brushed motor?

 

[jkflow]

Check for a cable break or are you saying this is out of the ESC?
