Hi Sean

This a very short answer to your question:
The answer is, yes, everything!

Mark

hi mark
thanks for the quick reply.
i will give gill a call next week to sort out the motion pack
cheers sean

hi all
got the motion pack today, made a start and have allready come across a few problem.

1/ the lay shaft is to short to go through the bearings thus not allowing me to fit the end cap without crushing the bearing.

2/ the end cap is to thick thus not allowing the motor spacer to sit flush on the mount.

any input would be gladly welcome, more concerned about the lay shaft issue.

cheers sean

Hi Sean

Sounds like you have not got the bearings fully into the housing. Remember you are one of the last to get this option pack, so its kind of unlikely to be a design or manufacturing fault, that no one has spotted before.

Mark

hi mark
both bearings are fully in, but since then i have noticed that both bearings are not allined, so when the lay shaft is in the bearings it is at a slight angle and that means the idle gear is also at an angle. which then means once the motor is added the two gears dont mesh up properly causing both gears to beacome very stiff.
the lay shaft do not pass through the rear bearing which means i cant fix the end cap
i hope this makes sence, i will have another look but i tried for 2hrs today fitting and refitting
cheers sean

A picture is worth a thousand words

And might make it easier for us to see where the problem lies

hi all
i think the problem is the main motor mount itself, where the bearing holes are not allined causing the lay shaft to be at an angle? also you can see the lay shift inside the rear bearing and not comming all the way through not allowing the end cap to be fitted.
all the above affects the main motor when fitted causing both gears to be very stiff or not turn at all

Hi Sean,

It looks like you have a point here.

Hello Sean

This seems to be duplication of what you have sent us by e-mail. I have already looked at these pictures. Please send the parts back to us so that we can correct any manufacturing or assembly problems.

Mark

hi mark
thanks for the reply i will send the parts back to you first thing monday
cheers sean

hi all
im after some help.
the two wires from the auxilary box that connect to the motor are blue & yellow the wires on the motor are red & black.
which ones goes to which
cheers sean

Hi Sean.

The instructions say :-

"The leads from the controller are coloured blue and yellow and are pre fitted with push together electrical connectors. These are handed so that they will only connect the correct way round"

Is this not the case ?

Adrian.

hi adrian
you are not understanding what i need to know. the intructions just say's what the leads are ie power leads not which is pos or neg
connections on motor are male red/black
connections on aux box are female yellow/blue

my question is which is pos/neg blue or yellow which ones connect to the black or red on the motor

cheers sean

Sorry, I thought that line in the manual meant that the blue would only mate with the red, or black, depending on the connectors.

To be honest, it doesn't matter which way they are connected, as it won't damage anything. It will just mean that the 222 goes backwards when you push the transmitter stick forwards.

If that happens, you swap the cables over

Adrian.
