Pixelfill Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Big thanks to Rob, who has given up most of his afternoon helping me fit RLTC to the car. Thanks mate - it was very much appreciated, and what a difference it makes. Sorry I didn't have any biscuits though Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well done Mr Wild. BTW, mine needs washing...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Nice one Rob. Are you impressed mike? I would like to compare DAT files if you would be so kind? I have changed the suspension today and its a world of difference, no more swaying or scrabbling for grip at the back end - it just goes. But out of round abouts is still a big problem and the RLTC does not seem to pick up the wheels are spinning. In a straight line its fine and stops all slip but in a corner it lets the back fly out still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Am I impressed , not least because I didn't set the car on fire with the soldering iron but the response is amazing. Did you do the on car calibration? I've no problem with you having the DAT Mike. Rob should have the DAT file on his laptop, I've got the base file here, but we tweaked it on the car using his laptop. Until I get a usb/serial adaptor for mine, I won't be able to get at it Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 No did not do the on car callibration. which may be the issue. Ive just jacked the car up and spun the wheels to make sure they are on the correct channel. No probs perhaps the next time were out and about we can compare notes, I have a USB/serial adapter. I can feel a RLTC/club flags mini meet coming on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 The calibration only allocates the wheel channels. I did mine this way and no trouble whatsoever. M5W (what's your real name?), How did you get your DAT file? Is it set up for your car correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Its Mike - to add confusion. Terminator was kind enough to do my DAT file for me and sent it over, ive fitted and checked the channels and uploaded the DAT, its strange how it works perfect in a straight line but struggles round a bend. I was thinking its to do with the start revs as they seem quite high at 2.5k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 did you also set up the wheel size in the dat Mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 yep, Phil had already done it for me, I just checked them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I was thinking its to do with the start revs as they seem quite high at 2.5k? Get that bit lowered for a start. Sending you a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 No problem Mike a pleasure as always You soon managed to get over that hangover with me shouting helpful comments like "just cut the damn wire you big girl" The RLTC seemed to make a really big difference whilst 'testing' anyway Just need to tidy up all that wiring now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
