since the Kv of motor of is pretty high it slips very much in starting

but its speed is pretty high

.

servo operated rudder assembly

ESC

1)1500 Kv outrunner
2)18amp ESC
3)3s1000mah lipo
4)fultaba 4ch radio

no reverse

Weird machine.But nice effort.

ESC was heating up a lot so installed a bigger heat sink ,now runs cool

made a little video...

Make a rickshaw body for that thing man.. It'll look awesome!

ved · January 23, 2011, 11:58:21 AM

Good efforts. Looks cool.

pankaj · January 23, 2011, 11:59:30 AM

I am no good at making things look pretty

; i just tied up that thing using 5min. ARALDITE and SUPER GLUE

.so the RICKsaw body is not gonna happen

thanks

Then buy one of those cheap rickshaw toys that you get on the street and put the top shell on this thing.. You'll have the most unique RC vehicle in India.. my guarantee!

Yes.

It obviously has to slip, else the motor would burn. BTW nice toy to play at home. Ever tried running it on a carpet? It will be fast for sure

pankaj · January 23, 2011, 12:35:01 PM

it's an on-road vehicle ...

btw this thing needs very precise control

as the motor is directly mounted on servo.so i have never tried running it fast but it runs good on road at medium speeds.

Switch on the expo or DR

mine is basic futaba.

vinay · January 23, 2011, 12:48:06 PM

OK

pankaj · January 24, 2011, 07:11:02 AM

Is there any way i can program this tx/rx with dual rate or exponential

thanks.

You can do DR physically, by putting the linkage rod on the innermost hole on the servo arm, and outermost hole on the control horn side (or however it applies to your setup). Basically, you want to get the minimum movement on both sides of the linkage rod, for full deflection of the servo arm.

pankaj · January 24, 2011, 10:03:22 AM

thanks Anwar sir

but in my case there is no linkage rod ,as it is directly mounted on the servo horn using L strip .

thanks
