[TANKS] Re: Gremlins of Gettysburg
Wow, that's quite the list. Discovered that the cause of the meltdown was from the ESC's burning out. I'll have to take a deeper look and see why so this doesn't happen again. Thanks to John and Frank and everybody else that tried to help me get running. Hopefully, the Quarter Pounder will return in the spring more powerful than ever. :) Highlight of the day: When Steve drove over the flag to keep Paul from getting it. Then Paul picking up and moving the Cromwell to get the flag. I just wish I had some space on the memory card to catch it.

This was the second time a low 9V had messed us up. The Spyder Imagine comes with a 9.6V rechargeable battery. A 9V alkaline or lithium is the same size and works OK when new but doesn't last long. Might have to invest in a 9.6V NiMH.

Bazooka Joe: NIcked an O-ring refilling the CO2 tank. 9V battery ran down trying to test the marker. New O-ring (thanks, John!) and new battery were easy fixes but combined diagnostic and repair time caused us to miss most of the football game. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
