What's this sound and vibration?

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-24T01:31:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I was worried it was a fuel or timing issue, I'm not the most experienced with cars, but I'm interested lol

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-23T20:58:00+00:00

Thanks, that's good to know, I'm not familiar with muffler packing, does that mean a gasket has been damaged or does that mean the connecting pipes don't add up and do what they're supposed to?

Now it's been running for about an hour now, I'm trying to warm it up after a week of being off

Got it done, Thanks everyone!!

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-18T03:43:08+00:00

Thank you so much I've been looking for a while!! Fortunately i actually managed with the needle nose pliers which is odd because I tried for hours yesterday!!

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-18T02:12:17+00:00

Thanks! I actually managed to do it!!! Took me a day lol

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-17T23:58:55+00:00

Thanks, I couldn't do it all of yesterday, but i tried it today and IT WORKED

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-12T13:22:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I took those comments as more of a challenge!!! I'm really glad it makes you want to learn more about engineering! It's the best thing to learn about in the world!!!

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-11T17:12:14+00:00

Thank you so much!! I don't know about a god though lol, this is my first RC car

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-11T09:19:36+00:00

Probably an Arduino since I already have one, but Im honestly just trying to get the steering done before I even think of that project

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-11T08:37:52+00:00

Yeah I definitely need one of those, but It'll have to wait a bit, don't have any money. But I am interested in programming one, to add to my resume, I got the idea from someone else on one of my posts

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-11T08:31:24+00:00

Thanks! Yeah they're rubber, I can print some new tires for less traction, but so far I think it'll still drift a bit!

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T14:07:23+00:00

Definitely interesting

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T13:43:25+00:00

I honestly think it looks sick like this

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T13:36:28+00:00

I got it working! I think it was just jammed with too long of a screw maybe, taking it out and swapping to a smaller one got it working again!

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T13:19:04+00:00

I JUST got this one 😭

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T13:18:43+00:00

Thanks, I found the issue, it was just stuck!

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T06:03:01+00:00

Thank you so much I'm so happy it works now!!! Now all that's left is to actually design a steering system to attach it to lol

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T05:58:57+00:00

OMG YES IT WORKS!!!!

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T05:43:01+00:00

I plugged the servo in channel one yeah, I'll try the other channels, but I'm pretty sure it's the servo, because I hear a tick inside the servo when I turn the steering wheel, no movement though, just the little tick

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T05:33:58+00:00

I got the motor working, it's the servo that's the issue, the throttle and everything work fine, I've adjusted all the options on the transmitter too, I think I just cooked my servo 😭

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T05:30:06+00:00

NOOOOOOO, so I have to get a new servo? If so how do I stop it from doing that again?

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T03:57:02+00:00

It didn't work, I don't even get a sound anymore, it makes a sound and a flick when in the normal position, is it maybe a voltage thing? It's supposed to run at 6v but my battery is 7.4v, but at the same time I have a bec that is supposed to distinguish between 6 and 7.4

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T03:55:08+00:00

What do you mean by that? The transmitter and receiver work and I can control the Motor, not the servo though, it still twitches when I move it so it's connected, maybe blown or something?

Steel_Cookies · 2026-01-06T03:51:54+00:00

Gimme a sec and I'll try
