Default What happens in 80 km/h

Got my new radio yesterday, the new and best aggressor crx from hitec. anyway i was going to try out the new ABS system, and it turned out that my truck was way too heavy for it to work properly. I was going in top speed, about 80 km/h when i see that i want make the turn. i then hit the brakes(which doesn't work) and BANG my car crashes into a steel thing . as i can see until now the only things that are broken are the radio bocks, one alu shock, a servo horn and some small plastic parts.

oh... sounds good... but now that you found out that it doesnt work, will you be able to disengage it and go back to regular braking?

i have abs my my transmitter. youll have to read to manual to find out how to set up the abs properly, the manual is hard to understand what they mean cos its so technical (in my manual anyway). you should be able to alter the cycle of the abs. you can set up the first initial breaking point then the duty cycle after that.
for example the initial breaking point could be 0.5 seconds on, then you set up the rest of the abs cycle off 0.3sec on 0.4sec off 0.3sec and so on. its trial and error setting it up so do it in a large area but eventually youll get it rught.

if you r truck was flipping over the servo is obviously strong enough, just set up the duty cycle on the abs and then it will stop properly without flipping.

I use ABS with my PK3 and it works great. Sounds like if it didn't work very good then you don't have it dialed in correctly. I don't know about the aggressor but the PK3 has several settings with the ABS and can be tweaked for each application.
