Using a different radio system with the Traxxas XO-1

[bruce750i]

That's a sweet radio mod.

I now run two rx's in my EzRun 150a XO-1. One for driving and one for telemetry during speed runs. My rpm sensor brown outs under heavy throttle. I need to install Ubec I guess.

I could eventually let my friends drive channel one on one radio and I drive channel two on another.

It'd be like those big offshore racing powerboats, they'll have a wheelman, and a different guy on throttle.

Never understood why really.



ALSO.....

HEY CASTLE, WHATS UP WITH THE LACK OF UPDATES?!?!?!!?



srsly, am I the only guy waiting on this?

Update coming... Had an issue with Governor mode (helicopter) that had to be straightened out before we sent out the update.

Thanx!

Perhaps Sir might consider a cheaper option first which often does the trick- a glitch buster capacitor is nice and simple and may save you a few $$.

Hehe, indeed the Sir in question may not be very versed in the usage of caps. He most certainly explored that avenue with a big 35v low esr with similar results. Perhaps that was a unwise application for 5.5v Sir?

Shown here without the cap installed in the upper rx.
