Redcat Racing Rampage XB Questions

If its flooded what shall i do?

Remove spark plug, turn the car upside down and pull the pullstart 10 times or so, that will throw out the gas in the cylinder.

So gap it at the shiny metal things on the flywheel with a business card directly under the coil?

Correct...

Ok now shes back and up and running great, aside from my throttle servo taking a crap on me.

I need recommendations on a throttle servo. I am looking at this one:

Suggestions?

I also need a splitter to run my Volt Meter and RAMTech-RC Kill Switch. Will this work?

That splitter will work, but it's way overpriced. Hobby king has them for a buck.

I went with this, works great and provides great stoping power (about 25% more torque than the one you linked): http://www.davesmotors.com/hitec-hs-5645mg-35645s-digital-throttle-servo-metal-gears.html

What was the issue with the engine?

 

[dsm600rr]

Im not really 100% sure. Put in the new plug and gaped the coil and it fired on the 2nd pull.

Will this work on my XB?

 

[Ildy666]

Sure will...

 

[dsm600rr]

Will i need anything else to run that setup?

 

[dsm600rr]

So i changed out my dead throttle servo with a Hitec HS-645MG and installed the splitter to use with my RAMTech Kill Switch and Hobbico VoltWatch2.

One issue i noticed is i had to reverse the throttle. In turn, when i cut the power to the TX it now goes full throttle instead the the default fail-safe full brake. Can this be fixed?

 

[RampageHopUps]

You have to re-bind the Tx and Rx, so it learns the new fail safe position.

Just tried that, same outcome.

Worked! Thank you

 

[dsm600rr]

So i went out for a run today. Throttle servo and remote kill switch worked great.

Ran into two snags. First, the rubber mount that secures the exhaust to the rear shock tower melted. How can i fix this? Is there a better solution than the stock mount?

Also the brakes stopped working. Any ideas?

 

[dsm600rr]

Update: I just went back out and inspected the buggy. I noticed a lot of black cotton looking stuff all around the brake area. Looks like they ate themselves up. Not sure why as i didn't even get through one tank and it was on grass.

 

[dsm600rr]

I cannot seem to figure out why my XB will not go or stop....

It's probably your servo has given up
