damn makes me regret selling mine to Leon!

don’t worry, it’s in good hands.:smiley2:

not for long, we invented a new game, xmod tag!:evil::8ball:

[betty.k]

yep, got 2. but only 1 running. with some more parts i’ll set up the other with the i waver pcb for the track:8ball:

[betty.k]

awright! looks like i made a showing too!:8ball:

[betty.k]

me too, what he said. totally sold!:D:8ball:

[betty.k]

holy mudpuppy batman!!:shock: that thing’s on steroids!!:8ball:

[betty.k]

cool! that oughta keep bithead happy!:8ball:

[betty.k]

well that makes sense to me.
i got a pic during the change over so you can see what’s involved. this mod probably lightens the overall weight but not by much. the torque increase and higher resolution propo are the pluses.:8ball:

[betty.k]

have a peek here:

the pictures are explanation enough really. all you do is remove the brown and orange wires from the servo pot and add a 4.7 – 10k resistor to each one and resolder. the attached pic is my modded servo. you can use much smaller resistors than these, down to 1/8 of a watt:8ball:

that sm component you mentioned sounds like a capacitor. the resistors generally are black with a white number on them:8ball:

i’ve never owned a dremmel. closest thing i have is a cordless drill that smokes when used!:8ball:

congrats on turning 6, hopefully now we can expect some mature comments from you!:8ball:

[betty.k]

that’s a pretty slick lookin’ bod! one question, how does the coily aerial affect reception?:8ball:

[betty.k]

bite me you cousin datin’ mother lover!:D:8ball:

as a result of outdoor use and abuse i noticed that the holes in the chassis where the knuckles poke through get worn quickly. and the front end is sloppy enough new so i decided to do summink about it.
i found some brass eyelets like the ones used for shoelace holes and filed em down some so they didn’t poke through the other side. i had to file out the inner diameter some to allow the knuckle to move freely. i just superglued them in place and it’s another winner! really tight front end now, nice accurate steering.

so i’m still in a modding mood after that and i start eyeing off my spare chassis and i waver pcb:shock:

this is real easy to do. just take your time and plan it out. i studied this site before i started out. http://www1.bbiq.jp/ikinari/xmods/index.html

results? well the turning circle is increased from that of a resistor modded xmod but is better than a stock one. range is as good as an i waver (well duh!). and no more brake.
but it’s the torque increase that amazed me! from my observations it seems that the iwaver pcb opens up the nelly more than an xmod’s. and there’s much less latency. when i hit that trigger the beast instantaneously drops a 4 wheel burnout! this never happened before.

but i honestly prefer the xmod pcb. it’s the brake i miss. BUT if i get hold of a mr02 pcb i’ll be set:8ball:

[betty.k]

answer is yes:8ball:

[betty.k]

i’d stay well away from the i waver spares. when you break a part UPgrade at the same time. don’t say i didn’t warn you:smiley2::8ball:

[betty.k]

and it’s worth noting that the nelly deluxe is not for sale. there’s nothing stopping you making your own though:8ball:

[betty.k]

worth a shot, at least if it all fails you can just buy another motor. none of the motors i wound were any good, there is an art to it.:8ball:

[betty.k]

i’m a kitty convert too. as it happens i got some invites spare, anyone?:8ball:

[betty.k]

or a bitchy bloke!:D:8ball:

[betty.k]

maybe this stuff is what you’re after

[betty.k]

nice one! but it’s just too neat! can’t you hang some wire out of the cover or scratch it?:D:8ball:

[betty.k]

you’ll find that solder may not be a permanent repair alone. most armatures have little hooks on the comutator for the wire to run in, use them. most motors heat up inside enough to melt the solder.:8ball:

[betty.k]

i plan on doing that. my biggest problem at the moment is the universal joints on the front axle, any tips for strengthening them?:8ball:

[betty.k]

hehe!:D don’t sweat it.

for the right price i can be anything you want!:8ball:
