RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
Thanks for the info both , will be heading to the local model shop next week for the bearings .<div>Whilst I'm there I'll probably pick a new 20t motor but will I have to modify the esc to fit the car or will any tamiya esc do the job ? , I like the look of those wheels Ian are they a certain type or will any fit ?
<div> </div><div> </div></div> |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12mm-Drive-Hex-Hub-Wheel-Aluminium-Yellow-x-4-with-Pins-/330451510329?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&am p;hash=item4cf071e439<br type="_moz" /> |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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. <br type="_moz" /> |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 |

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo

|
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
Lighting system looks awesome.

RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 :eek: <div>
</div> |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 ? |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
Hi Dus<div>
</div><div>Ive had a look at the diffs but that's it at the mo , will wait till I've got all the new bits and do it all at once , think I'm gonna go for the permanent fix with the epoxy resin . </div> |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
Hi steve
Cool hope to see some photos soon cough hint cough cough |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
Hi Dus<div>
</div><div>Will post photos when it's finished :-) , have come across a small teething problem with the front wheels Im changing to 12mm hexs but the old 10mm front wheel hex has an added piece on it Bit like a spacer . </div><div>What did you use to get around this </div><div> </div><div>Thanks Steve</div><div> <div> </div><div> </div></div> |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 :) |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
hi ian
have a look at page 54 if you need a kick start in rc again i think it might help lol |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
Hi Dus / Ian , <div>
</div><div>Will try and add a photo today (not sure how to lol) , I'm using the standard silver axles wasn't aware there was an upgraded axle for it is there much difference between them ? , Ill be using the chemical metal for the diffs .</div><div> </div> |
RE: Subaru Impreza WRC 1/10 Bycmo
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 |
