Anyone into R/C?

Looks sweet

 

What trash can?! I'll take it hahaha

 

I cant judge the scale... is it 1/10th or 1/8th?

 

My guess is "1/10" but to compete with the scx10/trailfinder 2/ascender/etc... But I'm guessing actual size will be 1/8 scale like the nikko fj because the cc01 FJ 1/10 but is smaller I've heard.

 

I am not familiar with Venture RC. Do they sell kits or RTR? Decent aftermarket support?

 

Same, first time I've heard of them too. Best case senerio it's mixe of axial/rc4wd quality...worst case we just use the body on scx10s or trailfinders and ascenders.

 

good point

 

Brown Santa left me a package.

 

Dumb question: what's the purpose of the fancy controllers?

 

Comfort, ability to support multiple models, tune-ability, and data back from the model to name a few.

 

The twin hammers has a 2 speed transmission and needs a 3 position switch or rocker on a 3rd channel to control it. The dc4 series have this feature

 

This is being built by HPI. They have a video posted now of it running through some trails and mud. I'd like to pick up that body for my SCX for sure!

 

A brushless Twin Hammers! Nice, enjoy the build!

 

4 hours last night just on the transmission.


and then a little headway between jobs today.

 

Front diff and gears.
The instructions called for 500K to 1000K weight diff oil..
I started with 500K and ended up scooping it out as it just locked up the gears.
I used 125K silicone oil in the end and it turns a bit easier now.


and the IFS assembly several steps later.

 

I used to run a just for fun race track in Florida set up in random parking lots at night.
I still have a Nitro RC10 team kit and a little 1/24 losi rally car.
I like the flying toys and have a T-Rex and Blade 450 size heli's along with several other nitro and electric planes.

 

Nice kit so far. Didn't have a date last night so I was able to spend some quality time with it.


Starting to take shape.

 

I have a brushless 1/10 e revo

 

Receiver programmed, servo's hooked up and endpoints adjusted, and wiring completed.




I gotta take a break...

 

Did a little wheelin' this morning. Grenaded front driveshaft pin after about 30 minutes so back to the workbench she goes.
