Anyone into R/C?

so I'm really thinkin of pulling the trigger no a Yeti SCORE truck from Tower Hobbies..

any recommendation on a battery and charger to go with it? at least a 2s..

also lookin into adding in the Traxxas OBA module and speakers.. because I'm a nerd and I reeeeeally like the sounds the Traxxas has.

 

I can't decide if that OBA is cool or just cheesy. haha

 

What is this OBA you guys speak of? I keep thinking On Board Air...

 

For the SCORE truck, get the 3s LiPo battery. You won't be happy with the 2s. My charger does multiple battery types and balancing. Consider getting a LiPo charging bag.

 

On Board Audio. It's kinda cool and cheesy at the same time.

 

at first I was torn between those two as well.. but my little kid side says "zero fucks given" and it would be a guilty pleasure.. lol

on board audio.. actually works with throttle position too.. i think its amazing imo.. lol

 

any recommendations on a charger to go with said 3s?

 

Same here

 

I'm guessing on board audio

 

So, like the sound of a blown V8 with glasspacks?
That is cool. I have audio on my model trains, they chug chug with throttle position too

 

In my brief reading about it I came across a review on Amazon:

"I got this for a my Axial Power Wagon build. It says you need a oba 3ch remote. And thats what you need a Traxxas 3 ch tqi 2.4 gig setup. I thought it would work with my Flysky it4 which is 4ch, it doesn't. I tried my old tq4 a.m. remote I took off my summit years ago and still no. So after a long look on forums I decided to try my TQi from my summit and it worked. So what this means you buy the sound control and speakers for 80 bucks and now a remote to for 120ish so 200 in all so not worth it. But here I am 80 bucks in so they got me now I need a 4ch tqi to work the sound and my winch. RRRRR I went threw this with my summit when putting the tqi on it. Traxxas nickels and dimed me. I got the remote then the docking base then had to buy each sensor. I'm at the point with Traxxas that I don't want their stuff."

That was back in October though. Maybe they have a work around found now

 

I use a Trinity I-balance for all my batteries. Does Lipo(1-6 cells), NiMh(1-15 cells), Lead acid(2-20V)' as well as discharges and balances.

 

yeah just youtube slash with OBA.

I found some posts about that too.. The 3ch thing i think is still an issue.

 

thanks! I will look into this!

 

Anytime buddy, it's lasted years too. Great quality.

 

Mine is called "Common Sense RC". This one.

 

Totally awesome!
Want.

 

thanks guys!

I was originally going to go with a loaded Slash 4x4.. but the Yeti is just secs..

but.. I do like the toughness of the slash and the availability of parts. not to mention.. the OBA..

 

By the way, if anyone has any old XRAY T2 parts of any kind let me know. I'll use em. And I'm looking for a good deal on a build it yourself short course truck.
