:ö: an aditional tip or advice to those who are just planning to make their own 1/87 TTTT... "don't forget to insulate those exposed battery terminals" !!!, i know, this is common sense but, i think i forgot where i placed mine
, co'z "i did not insulate those battery terminals"
, what happened was i was trying to climb a foot high homemade dirt hill, the hill was so steep that my truk rolled 5 times all the way down, this is a common incident, but this time, when i placed the truck back, it was not responding to my command, then, and smoke comes out at the back of the truck!
... i opened the back, battery was hot, and same goes with the reciever
,...
solution? i suggest you cut a small circle out of an electrical tape or masking tape (same circumperence as your battery) and place it on the terminals after installing all the wires on your battery! this may prevent unnecessary short circuit !.
1/87 8 x 8 truck project update:
