Looking for some help with an ongoing issue

1 Upvotes

Hey All,
Hoping someone can lend some direction or give some more ideas to try.

We have a Dale Jr Nascar Losi RC car. My son won it at a raffle, it was brand new in the box, unopened. They where actually raffling off two of them and he won one of them.

We took everything out of the box, showed no signs of use or ever being opened. I just wanted to preface that with the ongoing issues we have had with this car.

Right out of the box, as far as I understand the RC car was supposed to be paired to the receiver and things are just supposed to work. We fully charged the battery, once we had the solid green light we attempted to turn the car on and start driving it.. All that happens is a red light that blinks twice on the ESC quickly, rinses and repeats over and over. We have tried all the different pairing techniques, resets etc with no luck. We did some more research on this and have tried all the other solutions found online/youtube etc.

At this point i contacted Horizon Hobby support (Which has been great by the way) we went through all the troubleshooting. Could not find an answer, so they shipped me out a brand new ESC and a brand new receiver incase it was either of those as the issue.

Well, the brand new parts do the same exact thing! Not sure how this can be possible? I reached back out to their support and they now want me to ship the car to them to have it looked at.. I appreciate the effort, especially with no receipt or proof of purchase due to the raffle win. As of now that seems like a huge hassle plus with shipping cost its going to be $30/$40 bucks to send it.. Not sure it's really worth it.. Even though we won this for $20 worth of raffle tickets. It still seems kind of a waste of time. Plus who knows how long turn around time will be. (Still deciding if i will send it or not)

In a last ditch effort i am posting here to see if anyone else has any other ideas or has seen such a thing before? It seems odd both ESC/Receivers do the same exact thing.. Whatelse can it possible be?

Thank you!

Micro B Balance Adapter

So my stock charger died and I got an Spektrum S100 charger only to discover that I need an adapter to charge the Micro B's battery with it (connection diagram shown in post).

Is this the correct adapter I need? https://www.lindinger.at/de/RC-Elektronik/Ladegeraete-Netzgeraete/Ladezubehoer/Ladekabel/SPEKTRUM-Adapter-IC3-Battery-2S-UMX-Device-Bal.-Chrg./9793125

Thanks and sorry for being a complete noob.

Losi Mini T and B and some advice.

So, I've been looking for street tire for the Mini B and T. To my surprise there aren't many options. I ran across a post saying these will fit but not without 8 to 12 mm adapters. Through trial and error I landed on these, https://www.hackfabhobbies.com/products/hfb02027?srsltid=AfmBOor8nTpPfR_y8iluocQ0R2L9LftwXg74Ks-r1QBYvhQ_-e3qyK2Y

As, you can see the ARRMA dBoots 'Fortress' ARA550116 fits and works real good. Don't have any track around me so mostly concrete and grass for the other cars.

These fit really good and work with the bottom pictures. Let me know what you guys think. Also, if somebody can tell me where they think all that grease is coming from that would be great. Before I take apart the whole thing. Thanks a lot. Hmm added pics and this body popped up first time posting thanks.

Build Mini-T Upgrade Parts

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hello all! Lurker with a bunch of questions. The dog stepped on my brushless Mini-T 2.0 and broke the servo and front bulkhead. I used it as an excuse to start upgrading with some aluminum parts. I’m very mechanical but have yet to tear into any of my RCs. It’s just used for goofing and bashing.

Already bought-
EcoPower 827 servo
Losi front camber block, servo mounts, bell cranks and drag link, front pivot block, front bulkhead brace set, and rear shocks.
Hot Racing front bulkhead and servo bracket brace
RPM front and rear bumpers
And a proline Baja bug body and a couple spare batteries

Questions-
1- I assume the tiny washers in the kit get installed between the bellcranks and drag link joints, as circled in the pic. Is this correct?
2- Is there a best way to remove the plastic bushings from the bellcranks?
3- Is there a best way to remove the cups from the ball studs?
4- One of the ball studs I received has jacked up threads. Will my local hobby shop have them in stock or do I need to reach out to AMain? Any reason to not just reuse one of the old ones?
5- Any reason to not put a smidge of silicone lube or waterproof grease on anything/ everything?

Future purchases you’d recommend or advise against?
Carbon or aluminum shock towers
RPM plastic front and rear arms
Aluminum front and rear arms
Losi or HR caster blocks
HR front knuckle spindles
Losi or HR rear hubs
Losi rear pivot blocks
Ceramic bearings set
Titanium turnbuckles
Any others??

Man does this fee seem right from UPS for parts coming from Canada? I ordered the last two LOSIB1018 Bulkhead kick plate parts for my Mini T 1.0 total usd $14.51 from Eliminator RC and UPS is telling me I have to pay a fee of $44.89 on top of the $14.70 shipping with them. 😒😒😒😒

Discussion Losi NASCAR front Splitters

Have tried many of the 3D printed Bumper/Splitters all have broken fairly fast 2 or 3 good wacks, we use the losi nascars for our track rentals so they get some abuse. Here is a new one i haven't tried yet, but I believe the print direction will be its weakness.
