Thanks, I finished the sponsons last night, just have to check all the joints and finish sand and prep for paint. Not sure what color to paint tho.

['83 chevy]

One thing I just noticed on yours, flip the motor mounting screws around. Otherwise they will interfere when you try to put in the battery.

[Diegoboy]

Good call. I didn't see that.

what is the overall lenght and width of this rigger?
wondering if it could run on with nimh batts.

['83 chevy]

Total length from bullet nut tip to sponson tip is 15 3/4" and the width is 9"

I took her for a rip today but I wont elaborate on that, I'd rather forget that run.

K thanks. Glad to hear that before I finished and charged my battery and was ready to go and realize that lol. It might be a few weeks before I can buy the hardware and finish it. OSE is out of stock anyways on the hardware kit, and I got to keep the wife happy, she don't like what this hobby does to the bank account lol

[ace028]

Yes. I run mine with a JR pistol radio, no issues.



It should be okay. just a little tighter when accessing the transom.

quick ques, do you have to have the Pistix for the pheonix? Just want to make sure that the esc is all I need before I buy it.

['83 chevy]

I set mine up without it, it was a pain at first getting the trim setting right, but its easy after that.

[ace028]

Ok, also what servo works good, I see that a hitec hs-55 works but am not familiar with that servo. I want one that will center good, I had a rc18t mini truck and the mini servo wouldn't return to center, it was always off.

[Diegoboy]

Mine has the S241 Sub-Mirco Servo. I'd also consider the e-flite S75 sub-micro servo too.

[ace028]

Ok, I think that I will try the eflite one.

[ace028]

Just bought the e-flite s75 sub-micro servo $13.99 shipped from rcsuperstore on ebay. Does anyone know when the hardware kits are going to be available from OSE?

Here is a updated pic of my progress, still havent fixed the motor screws yet lol. Kind of waiting for the hardware kit before I go much further.

I recieved mine in 2 days, really fast shipping to me. hope you get it soon. I can't wait to finish mine.

[andym]

Yeah Broken Hill is nearly as far west as you can get in New South Wales in the middle of a desert. Post can sometimes take awhile

[Diegoboy]

It'll get there. Just give it time.

[dirtysouth31]

Ya the Phoenix is very nice, set-up was a pain at first but once I figured it out it worked mint.

if you dont mind telling the rest of us,how in the hell do you get it to program i would appreciate it

I set the throttle trigger to 50/50 travel, put the throttle trim down to the lowest setting. Turn on the radio, and plug in the esc, wait for it to beep once, then go to I hit the throttle, and wait for it to beep again and it works.

I'm using the Traxxas TQ3 from my crawlers for now, saving for a DX2 or 3.

[ace028]

Does anyone know Steve's email so I can get a rear hatch cover? I accedently glued it to the transom lol. I guess I could just make one myself. I was useing this email address allais3@sbcglobal.net and it says cannot send.

['83 chevy]

call him (707) 584-5126

[ace028]

Just called him, he's a cool guy.

[Diegoboy]

Just called him, he's a cool guy.

I have the email address as allais3@sbcglobal.net

[ace028]

The last few times I tried to send him a email, yahoo sent me a message telling me it couldn't be sent. I don't know why because he sent me a email after he shipped the boat. I tried a bunch of times so I just called him. I was using that same email address.

[Diegoboy]

Did you question him about it while you had him on the phone?

[ace028]

No, he sounded a little bit busy.
