for your next foray try powering the receiver straight outta the box! then youāll know
and
itās easy easy de-pinningā¦ use your flush-cut pliers and cut apart the plastic holding the pins togetherā¦ grab pin at the far endā¦ heat the other side of the PC solder join and carefully pull on the pinā¦
honestly it will take me longer to retype the above than to depin and re-solder all 4 pinsā¦
Can somebody tell me the difference between MBS Matrix II and MBS Matrix II Pro trucks?
Both have the same plastic baseplate and seem quite similar. MBS (global) doesnt list the pro version and MBS Europe has the same description for both. Still the Pro are 5GBP more expensive. Also the MBS painting is different and the shock blocks. Still I donāt know what is really 5GBP different?!
Hollow vs solid axles is the only functional difference. The plastic baseplates are not good, last I heard they were upgrading all of them to the metal one, but that probably takes longer to roll out the further from home base the distributor is.
I believe it was @Deckoz who wrote up a fantastic guide on setting the fail-safe of the Nano X remote, so that, if it loses signal / turns off, the PPM value the vesc sees would go to neutral / slight break / whatever the user wants to set it to. Now that heās gone, so is the guide. Does anyone have a copy / know the procedure?
I vaguely remember it being a combination of shorting some of the receiver wires while turning the board on, and then turning it off while the remote is set to the position you want it to default toā¦
And which is which?
Any other recommendations for a channel truck?
Had the Kheo and was always wondering why all my wheels wobble like hell. Today I measured the axis diameterā¦11.6mm instead of 12.0 ā¦on all 4
So Iād like a new truck for the driven wheels at leastā¦
The more expensive one is the one w/ hollow axles, but you should contact whoever you get them from to make sure youāre getting what you expect. In 'murica, they donāt differentiate by name, but the hollow axle ones are sold w/ the metal baseplates, solid axles w/ the plastic bases. YMMV.
If you guys arenāt permanently binding your nano/nanox/winning remotes So you basically jump the ground and signal pins on the receiver pins on the bind channel. Then power board up. Hold channel 2 button in and power up the remote. Wait for lights to go solid and Center the throttle with a spring flick ( pull back to full brake then let go ). Pull bind pin to set failsafe. Turn off board and remote. Adjust endpoints in bldc software if you have to and youāre good to go.
