    Trucks 11.1 Volt Vs 7.4 Volt

    Thanks again for the help. So I'm going to leave it as is, however I was going to put the same I think they're called Dano plug on the wheelie King with the new motor. Instead I'm going to go with the banana type connectors so that there's no way my ten-year-old can get that 11.1 volt battery...

    Trucks 11.1 Volt Vs 7.4 Volt

    Thanks Tony, my problem is I don't see a whole lot of information on what the manufacturer States except for the new one. The one I bought used obviously I don't have any specs on that. And the brushless that I just put in the wheelie King it didn't have any specs either but I assume I can find...

    Trucks 11.1 Volt Vs 7.4 Volt

    Hey guys. I recently bought a Caldera 10e with a 540 brushless. When I bought it the guy had 11.1 volt LiPO batteries for it. Now I'm new to this hobby but I do understand the difference between AC and DC motors. Shortly after that I burned out the ESC and put a 180 amp ESC in it and it runs...

    ESC Ocday 60a, 540 Brushless, 5 Minutes And Nothing

    Thanks again for all your help Tony. It worked out perfectly and your explanation of the difference between brushless and brushed makes perfect sense. The 120 amp ESC rocks. Unfortunately as I'm inexperienced I configured it with the throttle trim on zero. So it ended up either full speed or no...

    Caldera 10e Aluminum Hub Carrier Upgrade

    Hey guys. I have a Redcat Caldera 10e and lost one of the screws out of the front steering knuckle or Hub. Not sure what it's called. So I bought a set of aluminum ones. However I find that the steering binds when I tighten the screws. Now it came with aluminum bushings that I basically had to...

    ESC Ocday 60a, 540 Brushless, 5 Minutes And Nothing

    Thanks again Tony. I found a RC store that was close enough I could get there until I have to go pick up my kids at school but I bought a hexfly hex 10 1:20 amp waterproof brushless ESC for 1/10. Think that might do the trick

    Yeah, mine too. I'm an electrical engineer and I kind of have a general idea of what goes on there but of course this is a unique situation and without seeing the electrical design schematics it's just a guess but semi educated. I do thank you for all your help I certainly appreciate it I did...

    ESC Ocday 60a, 540 Brushless, 5 Minutes And Nothing

    Okay Tony, I'll try that again when I get home. But if you're talking about on the receiver where it has multiple plugs that go in, I did put another receiver in it. And still got the same thing. I have another RC that I pulled the receiver out and put it in this one and used that transmitter...

    Oh yes, I can unplug it from the receiver. Now again please bare with me I'm really new at this. But on the receiver I have Channel A channel B Channel C something of that nature. I have tried my other receiver and transmitter but got the exact same thing. It just seems like there's nothing...

    ESC Ocday 60a, 540 Brushless, 5 Minutes And Nothing

    Thanks, but it looks like to wires from the ESC to the receiver are soldered at the ESC. I bought it used. I was told the electronics were replaced and it sat on a shelf but I can tell the ESC isn't new. Was going full speed and hit the brakes. That's when it slowed but then just coasted and...

    ESC Ocday 60a, 540 Brushless, 5 Minutes And Nothing

    Greetings. This afternoon I bought a 1/10 4WD Redcatt Caldera. Totally cool. 25C LiPO 11.1V. I'm new to this so bare with me. I ran it around and then bought it. 5 minutes later I was tearing down the parking lot... hit the brake and it didn't stop. Now I have a red light on the receiver...
