hi steve
ians the best to answer about the esc
as my bycmo is still standard except for the ball bearings hubs and wheels
so i will leave this one for you ian

hi ian
here is a link to the last truck meet we had last year if you scroll down you will see the new/old fire engine
http://scaletrucks.bb3host.com/viewt...hp?f=18&t=2077
ita a robbe airport fire engine its meant to be one of the first rc trucks to be made
it has lights head/back/indicators/reverse lights and it also has flashing blue lights
(new leds from gt power they would look awesome in a bycmo shell (link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GT-POWER-R...item19d7f4bd18 look at the price)) and a sound system for the siren

Ian78

The esc just plugs into your standard reciever and then the wires go to your motor, very easy.
Dus was the one who reccomended the hub conversion to me when I first joined.
Bycmo run 10mm hex instead of 12mm hex.
You need to fit 12mm hubs.
Will find a link on ebay for you Steve.

Basically these

The Fire truck with all the wheels dus?
Doesn't look that old to be honest...

Steve, been a while since I fitted them but just remembered that you need to file a small piece of plastic from the plug on the esc before fitting it into the reciever.
Small file and about 5 mins work.

dust75

yeah the one with all the wheels
that says fire brigade on the side
its about 30 years old
the water cannon on the top works
moves left and right up and down and sprays water

Ian78

Kinda gave it away haha.......
My post was after a few beers to be fair.

dust75

did you look at the link for the lights what do you think?

Ian78

Lighting system looks awesome.

Thanks again for the info both , I've just bought a new sport tune tamiya motor for it and a new esc , I just hope I can get it all to work

Hi steve
I'm sure you will be able to sort your car out
If you lay out your new items and replace the old ones one at a time
remove the msc and replace with the esc then plug it into the reciever then do the motors
Hope that helps

Did you manage to sort out your diff ?

cough hint cough cough

Hi Dus

Ian78

Sounds good.
You can lock gears with chemical metal too.
Look forward to pics.
Not sure what you mean about the spacer, will have a look later

Hi Steve
If i remember right I just used the standard silver axle shafts
But I also used plastic hexes off an old nikko car I had in the junk box
I think Ian used the upgraded black axle shafts as the hexes he used were adjustable
You could always upload photos of your problem so we can see
Hope that helps

dust75

hi ian
have a look at page 54
if you need a kick start in rc again
i think it might help lol

Daviejones

Hi Dus / Ian , 

dust75

hi steve
i think the main difference is the black ones are lighter
if your using the standard silver shafts measure width of the shaft to see what size it is
(you also may need to use the old pins as the holes in the silver shafts will be smaller if remember)
you may need these to convert the hexes
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-EP-Nitr...item2ec1ce5830
they do 5, 6, and 7mm thickness
hope that helps
