Noob question thread! 2020_Summer

Picture?


So I cut one side of my truck a little too short. Flipping the nut so the nylon actually makes contact with the thread: hack or just jank af?

Why even cut? Spacers are the way to go.

if it works, then it works. in theory it should function the same

Idt the nut would’ve made it on if I had spacers on there :sweat_smile:

I have the normal caliber II trucks, since I’m waiting for my TB218s cause they’re outta stock for now :confused:

It looks like a single throw switch? You can find a bunch a little electrical parts from sites like https://www.mouser.com/

I don’t know what dimensions those are, but I’m sure you can find a replacement on there if it’s just a generic sliding switch

Definitely a hack I’ve used before.

It fits, it sits!

I think he meant cut truck back not quite enough. not cut the axel.

@YeetMeat personally that’d drive me crazy paranoid. and mess with my ocd. I’d go trim the truck back more. but… :man_shrugging:

I wanted to use a different switch. Like a push-button and I’m just planning to add a wire from the solder to the switch

ooh, makes sense. I thought the thread of the axle

I might, but tightening the motor mount screws is a painnnnn

Hmm Im not sure then. Why do you want to change it?

Hi! Noob question here. Can I plug XT-90S (with antispark) male to normal XT-90 female?

Only the part with the green thingy is the antispark. The other (male) part is just a normal xt90.

You can plug the male part of an xt90s into a female xt90 but that just makes it a xt90 pair

The pins make the gender, not the overall shape!

That is the female port. It has 2 holes in it and the green mark. The male part has 2 bullet connectors that go in the female side. That’s how everyone labels them
