MAGracing Forum

I fear that this forum is about done. :( I know I haven't contributed anything for a long time so I shouldn't complain. Is anybody still working on cars or track? Or perhaps racing I'm thinking I'll try building a 1/24 th scale car and a portable track using the foam board Ned promoted. If anyone ha...

The ESC that claims to be brushless is really brushed. A brushless controller would have three connections for the motor rather than two. I'll think about the "turbo lag". https://www.banggood.com/MicroRC-5A-Bi-Directional-Brushed-ESC-For-RC-Car-p-1056732.html?rmmds=detail-left-hotproducts...

Kiklo, I wonder if you have forward and reverse exchanged on your troublesome ESC. If it has brakes that's the way it should work but in reverse. You can try swapping the motor wires and reversing the throttle at the transmitter. Then again I may be full of crap. I used to contribute to this forum a...

I'm impressed, Ned. I never considered trying to keep the interior detail. I've been happy if all the electronics will fit inside a closed body.

Kim,

How did your Delrin ball work out on the track? Does it slow down the car much? I suggested a tiny wheel but the ball is much simpler.

Nick

I had thought of trying little rollers(tiny wheels) on the magnet arm that would set the clearance to the wire. I'd have to actually get something running first, of course.

Nick

The tiny receiver/esc combo is the Spektrum protocol. I don't know who makes it but probably not Frsky. Spektrum makes some pistol-grip radios but they are expensive compared to the Flysky.

Nick

Kim, are there magnets in your new design to do the pushing and pulling? Or is it all mechanical?

Nick

Very impressive, Kim. I see your ESC is working on one cell. I better do some more investigation.

Nick

Sorry Kim, I saw Ned's name on the index and though he had started the thread.

Can someone measure the Flysky receiver without it's case?
