Status: offline 		ok bought a CC BEC but did not hook it up yet, i tried a 3s lipo in the truck, no steering issues at all, then tried a single NiMH 6 cell again no steering issues. Hooked the twin 6 cell's back up in series and again i get the steering issue. One servo won't steer, or while driving the wheels will stay in the turn position after a turn for a couple of secs.


any idea?

Yellow looks good too!

Yes it does. Myself, I'm piecing together a f350 high lift body to mount on my TXT. The juggernaut may have had rolling problems(really bad for hard body),but the txt-1 doesn't(at least mine hasn't ). Then again, the way I drive, I probably couldn't roll a lifted jugg.

The only thing I can think of is that the MM's built in BEC is not designed to handle 14.4V...

Status: offline 		Replaced the broken dogbone yesterday (tnx for the help Longhair). Mr. TXT is up and running again

Here is a picture of the damage with the dogbone out. This must be a weak point on the TXT since I did not crash or anything for this to happen. There are some CVDs coming into this truck in the near future!

Status: offline 		ok using the 3s lipo and changed out the tires to an older set of tires i had laying around that are glued up, as the ones that came with my model i have not glued yet, holy freak n cow this thing is un real, it pulls the front wheels at the drop of a hat. I will say those dual silver cans are getting hot with the old 3s lipo and MM. Stearing looks to be resolved with a lipo and adjustment of cutoof.

I have the CC BEC but have not installed it yet, I may return it.


Quick question...i am running 12g deans wire & deans plugs everywhere ......from the battery to the esc, from esc to bullet connector for the motors, but from the other side of the bullet connector to the motors i left the org crap like 20 gauge. Do you think that is causing any issues with motor or ESC or battery heat up?

Status: online 		It will have tiny bit more resistence, but nothing that would heat up your battery / ESC more than just running the motors themselves... the motors = still majority of the load..

Run some heatsinks on the motors if you think they are getting hot!! I run 2 of them Tamiya heatsink on my motors!!

Just curious... how many of you actually run your TXT (or RCs) like this?!

I guess it is not like I am afraid to it couldn't handle it, or the water will damage the TXT, but more that I'd hate to clean that up.. what do you think?!
