Motors and batteries won’t snap into the XRP chassis. Everything falls out. Did we just get a bad one or are we doing something wrong?
Can you maybe share some photos or a video link?
Working on it. Made some videos with my son (xrp was for him). Apologies for the noise…we homeschool the 2 kids this year so there is no quiet. Where can I attach the videos. They are .MOV
Upload to your youtube or similar and paste
You can also edit the extension to “.txt” and it should let you post it here (and then I’d DL it and change it back to “.mov”)
ok, tried txt file but it wouldn’t post. waiting on youtube download…
I uploaded 2 videos but had to reset to unlisted on youtube. Lemme know if you can see it.
Ok, after watching carefully…was the chassis printed at home/DIY? I think it’s the older BETA version (because the top-side slots for the battery are shaped like a planet with really a thick asteroid ring)
and the newer one uses a smooth-corner rectangle
where it looks like the motors seat in a bit more? If so, I’d recommend trying to print the newer version XRP Robot Kit by Experiential | Download free STL model | Printables.com and see if that helps
If the chassis came in a purchased kit…that’s odd. Let me know!
yes, it was in a purchased kit.
But it was the XRP beta kit
Ok, actually I just went and tested mine…one side worked as expected but the other slid around just like in your video…I got it to mount securely by first pushing the motor’s small eye-hook tab that is oriented toward the front (that has a channel/slot (it needed to be pushed fully forward while seated down that slot before I could snap the rear/wheel area into place on my chassis). Basically, you need to hold down and forward pressure while then pushing down to clip the rear into place (it was getting caught on the edge of that slot I mentioned!)
any chance you could send me a video?
Upon 3rd inspection it was a combo of the rear spine/brace on the chassis not allowing it the snap into the lever arms because the front wasn’t seated flush forward/hugging the curved section of the slotted braced area (curved upper motor casing needs to be fully flush with the chassis complementary curved ‘tabs’)
The video just keeps loading. Tried it on multiple browsers.
The motor need to be fully seated leftward in the photo above that I posted/highlighted from your video…it needs to move left ~2mm vs what I see in the video. After it is flush then push the other section into its tabs
Did you get it in there?
