Hi all

Not had much luck recently with Brushless:thumbdown:

Took the rotor out of my Novak 5.5 Velociti motor, y'know, after 2 years, thought it might need a dusting down, undid screws, pulled out the rotor, all clean, so pushed it back with a bit jigging about. Started car up tonight after a bit of spannering, speedo lights up, pt and steering worked, but motor doesn't go.

Wtf have I done now? Please help:cry:

Hi all

Fixed, a bit of a schoolboy error on my part really:blush:

Thought I'd try another car, switched on the truggy, throttle didn't work on that either, so came to the conclusion its the tranny. Flicked down the "TH-Hold" switch (core RC Pulse tranny) and hey presto, servo moved.

So plumbed in the GTB and switched it on, motor spools up:D:D.

Durga is ready for Torch on Sunday:D:D:D:D:D

Throttle hold on my etronix pulse pro caught me out a couple of weeks ago as well, knocked the switch when putting tranny into muff. fnaw fnaw.
