BTC Spectre MK2 Issues

catsgowoof · April 24th, 2018, 14:31

Hi everyone, I've got a BTC Spectre Mk2 installed in my VFC VR16.

When I press the trigger, there's a short, dull "click" and the gears then lock up, with two beeps from the motor coming thereafter.

I thought that this might be because of tight gears, so I've taken out all the shims and even tried the stock gearset without success. I've also taken off the grip plate and depressed the motor down with my finger and attempted to cycle it, thinking it was the motor being pressed down too far, but again, two beeps and then nothing. I've also tried two separate motors, one high-torque and one stock, both of which I know work.

Any suggestions would be great!

What is your digital fuse setting at?

Well according to the MANUAL, you are tripping the digital fuse.
Either its set too low, or you have a short in the wiring.

Remove the motor, plug it in, switch to semi, pull the trigger. If the motor spins for a second and then stops, the Spectre is fine, your gearbox build is the issue.

Alright, so I've figured it out and I've gotten everything working. Thanks for everyone's input.

Turns out that both lipo's I was using were toast despite them appearing green on my smart charger. Another one I found in a box seems to hold a charge, and now the rifle is spinning. I'll run some diagnostics for you guys later on.

Weird though how low voltage gave me the two-buzzes...

Probably wasn't a low voltage error as far as the BTC is concerned
