The hot lead and telemetry wire are gonna end up in the spur. It will eat the spur and rip the lead out of the telemetry. Also if you like that orion I suggest you shorten the leads so its impossible to reach the wrong terminal on the battery.

great pics, buddy

My bad. It’s aluminum.

archivist

Thanks. Work has been done on the wire management systems.

1. Shorter negative power lead cannot reach the positive side
2. Positive power lead shortened to reduce slack and reduce movement toward spur
3. Servo wire from SBS01C sensor anchored to power lead
4. Wire from SBS01TE to heat sensor rerouted to avoid gears

Did the shock shaft screw actually snapped?

Did you weigh all the telemetry components prior? How is your chassis balance?

archivist

Sure did. There’s a chance that I was not in alignment, but I really don’t think so. The lesson is this: if there is ANY resistance at all, stop screwing. It should be a frictionless operation. If it sticks, let your dealer/distributor know.

Current sensor: 32g
Heat sensor: 3.8g
The RPM sensor is about the same size as the heat sensor. I suspect it is only a few tenths lighter if not the same as the heat sensor.

In its current configuration (no additional weights) the car weighs 1756g and its heavier on the battery side.

Great job, would hate to have seen the power lead get caught in there and ruin an unobtanium spur gear.

Because it’s specific to the original kit build, I’ll include the design/painting.

serious question..why the heat sensor? are you planning on running in extreme conditions? or just to have it?

archivist

My climate is moderate (mid Pennsylvania) and, like so many things in our RC outfit, the sensor is clearly non-essential. I got the heat sensor to gather data that I can spreadsheet, chart, graph, compare after tuning and running. I might be able to use the information to make informed tuning and driving refinements. If not, I’ll always have my fancy charts :)

I don't think telemetry is ROAR legal, but anyways...

...you are a freakin' artist! Amazing design and artistic skills, sir.

What kind of grease are you using on your diff orings and diff gaskets. Great build thread!
