Seek and Destroy

Well I didn't have the kind of plug I need to charge my receiver pack, so I changed it to deans. But I am worried that my crappy solding job will fail, meaning a wire will pop off. So I want to get a throttle return spring. I have a failsafe, but I want the extra protection. This is a t-maxx. Also, I installed one of my spektrum servos, and it was really glitchy and the failsafe was always on. Is that because of my junk soldering job?

THanks

Could be, yes.
It could be causing interference or a false low voltage reading. Personally, I don't think a deans plug is the best choice for an rx pack. First it's a big plug, second it's not really high current application.
I would go ahead and get a trs. Never hurts to cya a bit.

Are there any trs's that would work better? Or does just about any of them work? A link to tower would be great.

Also, this probably sounds super-noob, but I haven't had a nitro in 4 months, and I forgot how to tune it, and I don't have the dvd because I got it used. Is it:
Turn left on hsn or lsn = richen?
Turn right on hsn or lsn = lean?
And on the idle, isn't it left to idle down and right to idle up. I'm talking about which way you turn the screwdriver.

Thanks a bunch.

Clockwise = lean
Counter clockwise = rich
On all needles.

This should help with your tuning.

Good tuning videos (They're for a Savage25 but 95% of these engines tune just the same).

If those don't work just go to YouTube and do a search for "rc tuning" or "nitro rc tuning"

Easy to find and very helpful.

Thanks I got it working good, but I am suprised what a difference a glow plug can make. It had an lc3 os glow plug, and it would barely start and always shut off. I put in one of my mc59 glow plugs and it fired up immediately and it drove better cold than the lc3 did warm.

DaveG55

Sure, why not?
