      Has anyone fitted a spider v4.0 to the MA010 chassis?

      If so would anyone like to share some pics of how hey have mounted it in the chassis?

      Cheers

      Wouldn’t it be the same as the v3.0 installation? There is a nice tutorial with pictures on this forum. I don’t know how to insert a link here, just search for Installing the Spider V3.0 “Red Back” in a AWD chassis.

      Jimmy,

      The answer is yes! I don’t have an MR-01, but the v4.0 info in the store says:

      Doubt it, although it would be very close!

      Any attempts at installing a Spider on the new 2.4 Ghz boards? Assume all 4 3010 FETs would need to be removed? Don’t want to fry my board or v4.0 spider so please help!

      Traveler – I talked with my friend who is a electronics pro and does all my FET work for me, and he told me that removing all four 3010 FETs (2 top, 2 bottom) is the best way to go. This is so that no power is going to the motor pads, no chance for an accidental short there.
      Then use the same instructions for installing the Spider on a 27mHz AM Mini-Z board – Just use only one side of the PCB for the four “rainbow” input wires.

      Thanks for the response on this and my other post LL3. That is what I suspected, I just hate to go ripping perfectly good FETs off boards if I don’t need to. I may live with stock 2×2 3010s for a while as they seem to handle anything I’ve tried so far.
