    1/144 seawolf sd arrangement

    Hello. This one is a short question to HWSNBN. I'm refurbishing my SD for the 1/144 SEAWOLF, and don't remember (had to take some pictures about, but...) the servo arrangement at the tray astern. Any help, please?

        After final arrangement, Im now experiencing "glitching". Everything goes right when testing VIPER ESC connected to the receiver and battery. But when connecting more items to the receiver, "glitching" commence and the system doesn't work properly.
        Any suggestion? Main motor is correctly supressed, but the mini air pump isn't.

          BEC on the ESC going, perhaps? Do the servos run correctly with the ESC disconnected and the receiver powered up by a 5V battery?

            A binding servo can draw too much current for the BEC.

              Received. Will test what you suggest and come back with the results.

                  Are you greasing the pushrod with silicon? If not, do so.

                    Yes, I'm doing it. What I mean is how the pushrods look like, cause I think I'm bending them in a wrong way and they're fuzzing

                      I had one seal that was very tight and needed to be replaced. It is not hard to do. Usually in the kit are some extra seals. Search the web on Seawolf and you might find other examples.

                      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                            Not an easy task. Keep us informed on how it goes.

                              Tests done. Pushrods properly shaped and working smoothly, but the glitching continues. It seems that I've fried ESC's BEC, as SUBHUMAN suggested, cause powering the ESC and servos independently everything goes right, and the first time I tested all the stuff mounted everything worked correctly for a short while before star glitching. So I think that now the pushrods are OK, changing the ESC will solve the problem. It's a VIPER MICRO I purchased from CASWELL looong time ago and that have rendered good services to my fleet.
