I'm still sore from the spank'in I got from the old guys . My car needs some recovery time from the concussion it got from repeated board meetings!!!

I was thinking the 23rd,next Saturday. But most people will probably opt. to run tamiya classes!! So I don't know if we will have enough racers for 1/12 scale???

For the tamiya race, first silver cans i've every tried to hook up and run.

Old speedos, one gtb spread spectrum and one speedpassion gt. Both say they will run brushed, anyone have experience with either and give me any help or advice as to how to set them to run siver can?

thanks

With a GTB you have to solder all three motor wires to the negative pole of the motor. On the battery lead you need to bridge the positive wire to split one for the battery terminal and one for the positive motor lead. Make sure you program the speed control to run in brushed mode.

Sorry about the dent in your side link. While it make look from the sidelines as if my car is under control most of the time, obviously, such is not the case. The dent in your side link is clear evidence of that. My appologies.
