Question AWD with MR03 board

So where's the link to that? I keep hearing about this conversion but can't seem to find it on the web. I'm just curious to see how they did it and how it works with AWD cars.

Thanks in advance!

Can't see the diference in converting a regular ASF board from 02 to AWD and 03 to AWD.
Just use the stock AWD servo motor

I just try convert to MR02, seem really good, you need switch the servo motor wire Black/Red, and also servo wire Green/Orange.

Since servo assy as a whole in AWD is already a step above that of 02 as is one in 03, is there a point?

The reason I'd like an MR03 PCB installed on my AWD's is for the elimination of the reverse delay. Even though I can get into reverse 8 or 9 times out of 10 on my RA-18 2.4ghz-ASF PCB AWD's and MR02's, that 1 or 2 times that I "miss" getting into reverse can really cost me.

OK, so you need to use the original AWD servo motor, not the core-less 03 servo motor; What about the servo gear ratio changes that the 03 has compared to the MR02? Does this come into play at all, or is does this not affect the AWD's servo performance (negatively or positively)?

@PNRacing - Thanks for the info Philip

@TJ - Do you think you'll post a tutorial maybe on converting the MA010 and/or MR02 chassis over to the 03's RA-22 PCB unit? This sounds like something right up your alley buddy

I had a wedding... I think that's a pretty good excuse. I heard Atomic will have theirs in Thailand and from what I was told, those guys in the other side of the globe are FAST!!! I want to experience racing with them so I need to see where PN will have theirs next year, so that I can pick wisely.

Cool Matt! I'm barely gathering the ground straps I need to attach to myself before touching this board. LOL I'm also trying to piece together another awd for this project. I don't want to touch my reflex'd out awd.

Keep us posted.

hey guys you cannot use the 03 board on the 02 or AWD because of the servo, the 03 uses a digital servo and when you swap boards the steering is choppy and pretty much undriveable. Robert at atomic mods tried to swap an 02 board into my 03, i can only assume that you will have the some problem, but maybe not.

I don't know if this is the case. It might just be a setting on the board or on the transmitter. What dictates what is digital is the board, not the motor. You can run any type-brushed motor on any board because it is driving only the motor with a + and - wire. It should be no different with the new cars. The MR02 ASF has digital steering as well, the only difference is that the 03 has a coreless servo motor and the 02 has a traditional one.

With that said, I am sure that there is something you guys might be over-looking. Also, the experiment is going in reverse from what the other people are doing.

Serves you right for getting the work done at AM...
