frame layout:


with space for the 4QDs (which btw i am still fiddling around with trying to make work)



the mass of electronics, think there might be a problem with the interface, it isn't lighting up when the 6v is put into it

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

Hmm, the interface was lighting up and some lights were flashing when Jamie and I used them last, and we just copied Terry's diagram. I'm trying to think what to suggest.... Do you have any photos of it fully wired up? Might help to spot problems that way.

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

ill have a go but apart from adding a female futaba lead to the screw terminals, i havent changed it atall.
worst case i have to get a new interface, where could i get one from?
thanks

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

anything imediate that you can see is wrong?

[TEAM ENIGMA]

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

The lack of a chassis, wheels and armour?

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

i mean with the escs :P
need to order myself some sprockets, chain and gears before anything is moving.
kwik kwestion: where is the low voltage thingy on the 4qds, cant seem to find it

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

What voltage you running your test on? I think I remember reading that they only work on 24 or 36v. Also you need to power the control board, 6v I think.

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

they've come from scotland, have you checked there are no deep fried mars bars stuck in there? :P

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

i was running 24v and using a 6v rx battery, i think the problem is that it might be set to the 36v mode, looked though the manual and it said how to do it, but i cant find the bit to do it on.

that made little sense

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

I see. maybe it needs to come apart to do that, a lot of the controls are in the sandwiched part so to speak.

The only came out of the box in Scotland for about an hour before they went back in, they weren't ever gonna fit in Eric, so we kept our deep frier elsewhere. If we had fried them they would have probably broken, and everyone knows the thing a true Scotsman likes more than deep fried things its being a tight fisted B£$%^&

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

makes sense. also, there is like a fuse holder on the escs, does there need to be a fuse in there for them to work?

[jonny]

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

if you ever send anything to me tony please include 1-2 deep fried mars bars (they are hard to find in england)

[harry hills]

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

told you we should have got that deep fat fryer i found in tescos!

[blazerbotics]

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

You dont need a fuse, thats for if the fuse tracks blow. you dont switch them between 24/36v, they just work on either. I would suggest getting hold of a different interface, as that one (Ian Swann one) is no longer made, and you cant get the info on them. You can get a simple plug and play one from 4qd.
