Title: Please help..
Post by: visionx on March 26, 2013, 03:32:35 PM
I have a leo-x that I am trying to get back running. I am a cheapoo so its not been easy.

The broken thing is the esc/rx. the fets? where broke. 2 of them are gone. I looked at the one I could see and ordered 4 of them. I guess you should not assume because after removing them I noticed that they are not all the same. I can provide pictures of the parts I am refering to if I am not correct on the names...

Basically I was wanting to know if someone could tell me the part #'s fro the rectifiers in order. If this is not possible maybe some one would know the cheapest way to replace the all in one with a new receiver and esc without having to change radio?

I have a stock ESC I could look at and maybe takes some pics. I'll try to get that soon. But honestly I would just get a cheap esc and am receiver and replace the stocker.

That would be great. I know it would be hard to get the #'s off of each of them but If you could would be so awesome.

On the other hand could you recomend a good replacement setup that would be cheap and not have to buy a new radio?

Thanks so much for your help. You have no idea how long I have been hunting for info on this little truck.

I wasnt able to get the numbers off the fets because they are too close together to see. Since mine is basicly unused I dont want to damage it bending the fets out of the way. When I bought my truck I never ran it with the stock esc/receiver combo. I replaced it with a seperate am receiver and esc. I use a XPS esc from an RC18 1/18 style truck and an old futaba receiver. Any am reciever will work with the stock am radio.

My stock esc/receiver combo is for sale for $40 shipped in the US (48). See pics below. I have cut off the motor plug but you could solder on a new connector.

I also have a spare XPS esc and receiver that I could sell for the same $40.

But if you have any old small esc and am receiver laying around that would work fine too. Theres always Ebay as well.

Could you pm me your email info? I would love to get one of those sets off you but it may take me a week or 2 to get the cash. I have looked high and low for a stock reviever/esc to no avail. I have waited around 3 or 4 years to get this thing back on the road so I will hurry to get the $$ up and to you.

Thanks soooo much for all your help.
