Default Re: My new toy

Well the loader is painted now. I had one of our members (IZZY) paint it. Here are some pics.







I have also ordered a new speed controller as this is the one down fall I have found with the model it causes the loader to track really slow. I thought it might be because they run the pump motor from the ESC so I unhooked the pump and the speed didn't change. So I am not real sure why they did it that way. I also found that at full speed it will speed up the motor opposite the direction off a turn so the model is capable of going faster. the ESC also requires that it have directional (forward or reverse) input to turn it won't do a 360 deg turn by just moving the stick left or right. I plan to put in the new ESC and wire the pump motor and lights to a double battle switch this way I can turn them off when you want to take a break or conserve battery.
