ABC CRP problem: Turn left when accelerate

[kylelucas]

There is no room. My SP has twice the room for electronics than my X4 does. Have you seen the real estate available on the DTM-X4? The is no second level and the lower chassis is split with motor and drive shaft.

If you come up with a way, please let me know. Everyone will be interested in knowing.

Best Regards.

Of course I do. I will post pictures of it this week. This set-up allows me to use the following:

GTP Bodies, All of ABC bodies, for RX-7 with little change in set-up.

As for the DTM X4, I even have 8 cells in that sucker.

This is probably the main reason why ABC DTM cars did not pick up to well in the US. It's too bad, because ABC DTM's and even the Rocket Racers will put any 1/18th scale cars in their place anytime, once it is set-up correctly.

Thanks Micro-

I look forward to learning. An alternative assembly will be very welcome.

Hello everyone, I've bought KOKAM Li-Po 7.4v 720mah and installed on my x4. The result on load was good.

The withdrawal capacity of this batt. is 8C. Big discharge seems to have eliminated the problem of ABC Crp.

And the size is perfect, light weight, with no crp problem. So this is what I've long wanted. Thank you for everyone, and especially Kyle, you've helped me very much.


And I reported it on my website.

Ikinari,

How does the S03 work with the X4? I would think that the motor will be struggling, since the DTM X4 has a 4wd.

I know your talking about the space for the DTM X4, but what about the DTM SP?
Can you fit regular 1/10 scale electronics on that Chassis? I have a Futaba RX and Servo that came with my Futaba 2pl. Will these work.

I apologize for the newbie-ish question, The DTM SP I recently purchased is quite a new monster I purchased (I am used to Mini Z's. )
What non expensive but Best Performance electronic setup do you all recommend.
Thanks

Funny, I picked up the 2PL too :P Rx is a bit big but will certainly fit. Servo is just too big and a waste of space. Pick up a cheap servo elsewhere, you can probably manage this for <$20 if you look (while same can't be said for the Rx). I picked up an XXL to replace the Rx on my mini-x (glitching at the track I just started going to) but I think I'm going to use that on my SP now. I'll post pics with the new electronics layout when I finish.

As for electronics, most people seem to recommend the spy for ESC, tho I keep hearing really good things about the IPD R18 if you can do without reverse (smaller too). XXL or an old hitec shredder seems to be Rx of choice. Like I said, the Rx that came with the 2PL will work fine. I'm going to try shrinkwrapping mine to see if I can save any space too.

Oh, first thing you should buy is a 180 or larger motor. The 130 that comes with it is crap. I've got a stock HPI 180 in and like it, but I've also got a used Team Orion Core mod motor that I'm eager to try out (after some dremeling to make space). Also heard good things about the GPM modifieds (though tough to find, do a search for them here and theres a link or 2).

Thanks alot for the reply, its a bog help.
Do you know if you need to Fet the PCB's. AS you know, the Mini-Z Must be Fetted if you want to put a high RPM Mod engine in it.

I ll try my futaba RX for now, with a Novak ESC, and maybe a hitec 55 servo? I dunno. The good part about a car like this is you have a choice.
What battery pack do you use??
THanks alot.

I think the spy is rated up to a 280 sized motor? Check teamnovak.com for specs. R-18 goes a bit higher, check ipdracing.com. Pretty much any aftermarket ESC will easily handle a 180 (tho I hear the ES-01 maybe not).

Hitec 55 should work fine. Most people seem to put the HS-81 or HS-81MG on theirs. I've got a DRR servo on mine.

For batteries I'm using a 6 cell 1/3AA saddle pack that I made. Bought raw cells off batteryspace.com. I'm reconsidering battery choice, but it will also depend on layout and I'm not ready to put any more money down yet.
