need help with converting a hyper 7

What radio are you using? Sounds like you may need to zero everything to do with the throttle channel and recalibrate the radio to the esc. I am not familiar with tekin products, but if it works one way and not the other you may have a controller issue. Do you have the reverse % set very low?

its a JR XS3(75mhz fm), it has the same functions/adjustments as the spektrum DX3 without the whole spektrum thingy. I'm 100% positive that the setings on the controler are right...


the drivetrane isn't binding at all, so thats not it.





EDIT: I found the problem, the CC bec is set at 5.1v from the factory.I hooked up the esc without the external bec and problem solved...

anyone have a castle link I can barrow?

[Metallover]

How is your bec causing the problem? If the esc works witout the bec then I guess it doesn't matter.... 5.1v is perfectly acceptable.

IDK why, but when I use the BEC thats built in with the tekin it works fine, and when I hook up the CC bec it cogs...

So I need to review. Can you post any pics? I think you're using a tekin sensored controller with a Neu motor. Is the sensored esc and the sensorless motor the source of the problem?

nope, the esc is sensor/sensorless/brushed/brushless


what do you want pics of?? I'll get them tomarow

[whitrzac]

I bought it because I could get one cheaper than the retail price(ALOT cheaper) knowing what I know now, I would paid full price for one too.

when the RX8 becomes more avalable I'm going to sell the RS and the neu and buy one of the combos...

BTW there non warrenty repair/replacement> than castle's

besides the RS goes back and forth between my mod class slash and the buggy


I still need to know what you want pics of...

[Metallover]

I just need pics of your setup... The rs pro is a sensored esc mainly, build for racers. I am thinking since reverse isn't allowed in most racing that the esc might not have it? I really don't know what else it could be.

it has reverse, I got yelled at for using it when a marshal didn't see my truck...

I know its the CC bec now...

the esc isn't in its final location, nor is the CC bec. a few pics of the "damage" and this is the first, and last time that my tempo has ever been photographed

I'm going to get a T maxx RX box to put everything in...

[Metallover]

Which one is it? Just the Hyper 7 mount?

It's more helpful to post your pics in the thread so nobody has to navigate around to find it. Just a thought.

edit- I realized your pics are too big. When you upload them limit the file size. Then post them directly in the post. With the pictures you alread have, this is how I would do it.

I'll get to resizing them sometime today.


its a hyper 7/8/st mount, as far as I know, brian would know more...


and to conferm your observations, yes that is duct tape, I ran out of heatshrink...

I won an auction on ebay that had a 2 speed set for the H7, would it be worth it to install it? the

buggy probably isn't going to see any track time... anyone know the stock tooth counts on it?

[whitrzac]

i guess the 2 speed is out of the question now, it needs mecanical brakes.
