savage help
 

Today i bashed and was not running my MEch break or any breaks.

i was wondering why i cannot use a break on my ESC at all? i want to lock it in second i think. right now it is not even shifting anyways. Could someone help me on this issue? i need to move my battery trays up because i am breaking them right off.

The transmission (auto shifting) has a one-way bearing to allow the shifting to occur. Basically, if you had the motor's brake going, it wouldn't slow the truck down. If you locked it in 2nd gear, then you could use the motor's brakes.

ok, now how do i lock it in 2nd thouhg?

wow! no brakes? Ur savage come out allive? that'll suck to discover it while in a middl eof a speed run..

i did not even have the linkage on it LOL.

I broke a bumper, my battery tray came off, my body broke and other stuff

OUch... Bad luck! well, you shoulda turned the steering really quickly and flip the car over. Its better then hitting a curb or something.

there are special shafts on the market for this.

It's for the 1st speed though.

i mneed it for second though

Not available yet. I made it myself, and i heard people who glued it to the shaft, which is not an option imo..

You could get a 47 tooth spur and a 20T pinion.

Why don't you stay with the 2speed?

because it is nto shifting anyways and i need to move my battery trays up and then it is in the way

That's not something that can't be done Toby! the transmission can be made so it shifts and the battery holders can be adapted as well.

they need to move way up though, i am not sure how i could do both, evertime i go out bashing my trays come off or come loose. and i am getting ANGRY

Not when you do it at full speed and cartwheel it into traffic, I did that and just barely got it out of there before it was squished.

i was running at a bmx track, worth thing that could hapend was roll it in one of the huge puddles and ruined all my electronics, but thats all :lol:
