My GT7 was putting out straight batt voltage to the reciever. I think it has injured both of my recievers. The thing that is concerning me now is that i tried a known working setup with just my transmitter and had problems. So I think I'll probably replace all the in car stuff with new and try it with my transmtter. If that doesn't work, new Tx time.

Could be the Spektrum stuff, maybe send it back to Spektrum and get it updated. If the GT7 is the problem you can send it into novak and get it repaired, they have excellent customer service.

Is it an M8? I had a similar problem with mine a couple years back and sent it in for a recalibration. Fixed it right up. PW's right. I never had one glitch when I ran a 27 MHz Novak Switch and Xxtra Rx. In fact, last year at the Reedy race that's what I switched to to get rid of the dreaded Tamiya glitch a lot of guys have there running 75 MHz. I know PW doesn't like them, but I love the Spectrum. I had one of the first ones and still to this day, not one problem. (Knock on wood )

Jack was running my car with all my electronics except for his transmitter and someone elses spektrum module for the M8. I've never had any glitches at that track so it must be either the transmitter or the module.

I guess I'll just start throwing money at it till I get it straightened out.
Mo's car never glitches at Ripon......I think it's the plate in your head...LOL

If you were using your mototrs then I'd have to say there's your problem.

I'd start with P-Dubs Nats setup. Seems to be the ticket almost anywhere asphalt. Maybe try a one-way if the layout is open like in that pic.

Heres a link to P-dubs setup.

Hi Guys,

I just got my alloy rear pulley and was wondering, which way do the fence's go on, I know the instructions say the side that face's away from the spur gear has the step facing out, but what about the side facing the spur, in the pic it's flat, but that is the moulded one, and the fence doesn't snap on that way, where as if I put it so the step is out, it has to click in and stays on better. And it's wide enough for the rear belt with the step out?

Thanks
Iain

Follow the instructions. The Pic is not clear. The step should face out on the pulley fence. It should be a real bear to snap on. I usually get it started on one edge of the pulley and use one of my setup blocks to push down evenly across the whole pulley to get the last 120deg snapped on.
