Enough said.

The ferrous rings almost doubled my range in my airplanes before I went to the futaba fasst with them. It worked really well ,Took all the funky glitching out.

Good to hear, ill try it out once my v3 gets here

What do i Run through it? the esc-to-rx wire or the antenna?

[bl-is-future]

yeah wrap the lead that goes to your rx form the esc around the ring.

[brushlessboy16]

Im using one out of a Ps2 Controller, its more cylindrical.. i will see what i can do

[brushlessboy16]

so is it a bad thing if the leads are stubby?

[bl-is-future]

if it is the cylinder type just put the wire inside. what do you mean stubby?

[brushlessboy16]

Motor wires, they are 7 1/2'' long right now. i want to shorten them to like 2".

sorry about that vague post

2"? Is your esc touching the motor or something? I bet you will have trouble mounting the esc flat. Have fun holding the motor in place while changing the gearing.

Generally, shorter is always better, though it's not really practical to shorten 10ga wires that much, unless you have space issues in your vehicle otherwise. The worst things that could happen if your wires are to short is if you decide to put the motor system in a different vehicle and suddenly the wires don't reach to the esc. You'll have to solder on an extension. This is why I prefer motors with solder tabs, in which case you don't need to worry about over-shortening the wires. In fact, I just decide to rotate the MMM 90 degrees in my 8ight and even though the MMM bullets only moved an inch away further to the motor, the wires had to be about 2" longer just because of the angle required to bend the wires.

No the esc doesnt touch the motor, and no its not a problem mounting the esc FLAT on the chassis behind the motor. its easy enough to solder extensions on if need be- with me being broke, i dont see another car in the near future anyway.

I used some of those rings when I getting bad glitching on my crt.5 (4s a123, feigao 9l, mamba max, futaba 2.4ghz). I could even notice it with just the power system sitting on my bench. Ferrite rings made things worse for some reason, heeeaaaps worse. electronics positioning was not the problem (I even isolated the high power stuff completely on my bench when i was testing).

Still never figured out the problem *shrugs* I thought it was the MM and sent it back and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Not the case, I just don't run it anymore. Pity, really. Just waiting till i cbf posting it up here for sale heh.

[brushlessboy16]

seems eerily similar, but i dont know if its the motor/esc or the receiver.

BlackedOutREVO, That futaba fasst system is second to none. I couldnt be happier with mine. I will never buy a spektrum again!

I just with castle would hurry up with there system so I can run my truck!!

Hahahahahhaaha

And yea for sure! I couldnt be happier, maybe a smaller RX, but thats fine

Im not trying to put down spek, Its still year ahead of crystals IMO, I just prefer the FASST system, and especially my 3PK Super

[brushlessboy16]

I have a spektrum receiver sitting here but no money for a module Lol... soo close but yet soo far

[BrianG]

Well, I know someone who wouldn't mind an extra Spek receiver! Gotta use the remaining 24 model memory slots on my DX3r for something...

I might know someone who could use cash or something for trade- just shoot me a pm
