Turning drift

Post by tao »

Fyi if anybody experiences this one..I put promax 480 motors in Taigen Panther G and it was still drifting instead of turning on only one track. Couldn't figure it out as KT and Tiger both turn well and Tiger I has only 380 motors. Turns out it was the Hobby King radio- when I used my DXi 6 it was fine. (I know there is a way to adjust those radios with a cable to PC but was easier to just add/bind receiver it to Dxi)

If it's the Hobby King T6 (basically a rebranded Flysky 6 channel, same as the Mato 1010 that comes with mato RTR tanks) then yes, it's easy to program once you get the cable. Don't you use the BARC, Tom? Dan is pretty much an expert on the T6.

Yes but it is a cheap radio compared to my others and more of a hassle to try and see if I can even adjust it or correct it via that radio.

So yes if it was my only radio..it is adjustable with a cable and PC. What I found interesting though was the Panther with 480 motors was drifting on tight turns and it turned out to be all in the radio. So perhaps if somebody finds that happen even with strong motors try using a better radio to see if it stops:)
