Default Re: Stahl 922 help

Who did you buy this from & what radio were they using? Did they ever have it operational or did they give up in the build of it?

Ok, tried that. When rudder is turned left one track goes forward and one goes backward, when turned right the tracks turn opposite. But when I move throttle up or down, nothing happens.
I would say from the script above that rudder is direction for/rev, but the power wires need to be reversed on one motor, either motor, so both motors will then travel same direction together.

Unlike the Sabertooth, the Leimbach esc will not steer without directional movement, you have to moving forward or reverse to engage steering.

While travelling forward (for instance), if you move the steering ch 15% throw, one of the tracks slow down a bit, 30% - slower movement yet. Perhaps at 50% throw that one particular track stops while the unaffected one keeps spinning at its original speed. At 75% throw the stopped track starts going opposite direction, 100% throw it's travelling the same speed reversed as the other going forward.

I bought this from a guy out in Cali. It was never used outside of his hobby room from what he said and certainly from the way it looks. I will reach out to him tomorrow to see if he ever drove it. I know he dug with it in a little sand box he had in his room.

Your thought on the motor wires make sense, I'll give that a shot over the weekend. It looks like they terminate on the left side of the ESC.

Thanks Joe

There's a motor terminal on the lower left & another on the lower right.
