433 - A Song For Billy Ray: Shakedown!

So the day for the first run has came! I've used the battery charged a week before without repeaking but the result have been pretty satisfying. Maybe it needs a thicker grease for the differential and I have to check if the 13t pinion is installed (motor was a little hot).

432 - A Song For Billy Ray: Quick Forming Charge

 


I've found the time to give to the Carson power pack I've bought for the Billy Ray project a quick forming charge of 0,6mAh. I hope to be able to do the radio set up in the next days and so I will do a short shake down to understand if the choosen motor is quick enough.

431 - Savox Sc-0252MG Ready For My Wild One

 


The servo I choose to replace the old KO on my Wild One is a Savox Sc-0252MG that I've prepared  for the installation using the #51000 servo saver, and two tiny plastic spacers to raise enough to avoid rubbings between the servo saver and the chassis.


As in my habits I've "shorten" wires using heat shrink tube and double sided tape.


Dealing with the three infamous C springs have been easy than I expected... I'm learning the right way to build the #51000 servo saver, maybe.
