Re: robot not moving?

i had fun with this u have to disconnect the bec on both speed controllers a get a separate battery or BEC as the 1s on the speed controller will fight each other and 1 wont give enough power to run everything

Re: robot not moving?

Just disconnecting one bec should be enough.

Re: robot not moving?

i tried that with my set up and it didn't it could just be the v trail but when i disconnected both and added a separate BEC it worked

Re: robot not moving?

so ive got to cut the red radio wires coming off the esc and add an external power sorce to the reciver

Re: robot not moving?

well on the vid is shows you how to pop them out incase you ever need the bec .. and then u just use some insulating tale to rap them up............. it might work if you just disconnect 1 i think it depends on the v trail but i read on another post that your better off with a separate bec cos if the controller gives up u can still use weapons and 1 side of ur bot will still work
