Spider turbo

[woosh_x]

the Bare Board spider turbo is the same thing as a external spider turbo except for the wires is this correct or what is the diffrence??

[peteWah]

Yes,

There is no difference at all but read the info below and chose the spider you think is going suite you best, I would go for the lead version

And there is a Terminal block option for if you are going to swap motors all the time and unlike the lead version you dont have to solder wires on and of…

I got the spider turbo + x-speed pro motor on a iwaver 01

the steering is all over the place changes direction when it wants and adjusting the pots is a no go , the steering will only point in one direction regardless of what adjustments I make and finding the centre for the throttle is just about impossiable, but when I get lucky and find centre and the motor stops spinning up at full rpm, as soon as i go back to adjust the steering of it goes again.

when I turn the steering wheel of it goes, it just won t stop!!!! until the batteries are flat , this only takes about 5min for them to go flat by the way. the big issue is, it sounds like it will run like a bullet BUT zero control

if I put the stock motor back its ok – well kind of , the steering is still a little dicky.

any thoughts???

sounds like you ve got some major noise issues. Have you got the caps on the motor soldered on ok?

[woosh_x]

yep all the soldering is ok I have replaced all the wires upgraded downgraded the load capacity of the wires on both steering and motor diffrent wires on the turbo etc retuned the pods on the tx aws well as the car

Im lost i can sometims get the car to go in a stright line and turn one way but cannot no matter how much adjusting get te car to turn both ways, shes all over the shop

i have a feeling the servo is wired incorrectly. try swapping the servo motor wires around.

[woosh_x]

thanks but tried that

even tried to a three wire setup instead of the standard two wire setup

[betty.k]

dude, i ve never heard of a 2 wire servo, something aint right! there should be 4 wires going to the pcb from the servo.

my iw01 needed the servo pot to be replaced within 3 weeks, that could be it.

[woosh_x]

oops yes there are 2 wires going to the motor and 2 to the pot

there are 3 pins on the pot and 3 pins assoicited with the steering on the mainboard, this is where I tried a3 wire setup ( just to see if that would help, but stone the crows, no go)

anyway thanks, I’ll try some diffrent pots and see what happends

cheers for your help
