make sure the drive shaft is there, the cups holding the dogbone in are there, the grub screws in them tight?

TannerReagan 04-05-2007 08:35 PM

RE: Electronics Problem
 
yes they are all there i am pretty sure, but where are the grub screws, and i tried taking off the upper deck piece so i could get a better look but it was very hard to get everything unhooked.

RE: Electronics Problem
 
if you look where the dogbone goes to the front and center diff, you will see drive cups, where the dog bone goes into, these are help on by a recessed grub screw, you could see it if you get the top plate off, there are screws, the handle and a small nut that hold the top plate on.

you adjust the grub screw, there is one that holds the 2 speed in place and one that adjusts shift rpm's. clockwise it shifts at higher rpm's and counterclockwise it shifts at lower rpm's. be careful not to over tighten or over loosen the nut since it will crush the spring of the grub scew will fall out. do 1/2 turns at a time and try it out.

I now have it shifting into second but it is very cold outside and now it won't start. The engine will fire but won't start. Is there anyway to make it start better in the cold?

RE: Electronics Problem
 
warm the engine with a hair dryer then start.

RE: Electronics Problem
 
I tried it but that isn't the problem, I guess i will just try again later or when its nicer out.

try setting your tuning needles up to their stock setting and try 2 1/2 on the high and flush with the low, make sure the carb is open a little like 1mm. try giving it a little throttle when your starting it

I got it running and my new failsafe came. But the failsafe kicks on whenever i start to drive it? What it the problem and can i set it diffentley or something.

ehroof 04-12-2007 06:00 PM

RE: Electronics Problem
 
most likely your batteries in the car are going dead. The failsafes kick in when the voltage drops below a certain point or the radio loses its signal. what failsafe do you have?

TannerReagan 04-12-2007 07:21 PM

RE: Electronics Problem
 
I have a glow hobby failsafe the one you showed me on ebay. It goes onto the red light once u take off in it. but if it is sitting still and you gas it on a stand it won't.

RE: Electronics Problem
 
i really dont know, you may need to adjust it, see what the instructions say

RE: Electronics Problem
 
I had battery issues with mine and it was driving me nuts, when I connected my failsafe and started driving it would just engage the failsafe to full brake and start sounding the audible alert. Man I almost through that thing as far as I could but then I removed it and had similar issues with it steering on its own and acting weird, replaced batteries in the receiver box and all was fine.

RE: Electronics Problem
 
I got new batteries in the reciever everthing works great thanks MiniCwik.
