Anyone into R/C?

did you carry a bunch of crystals lol, I think ima try a cheap 2.4 for $20-30. idk if to pay a little more and get a three channel? maybe to have lights?

 

What do you need? Just a transmitter or transmitter and receiver?

I have these radios and recievers from rtr r/c's iv bought over time.

Traxxas tqi 2.4 with 3ch rx
Traxxas tqi docking station
Hobbyking 2.4 with 4ch rx
Hobbyking 2.4 with esc/rx combo with motor from a 1/18 madbeast
losi 2.4 no rx, came from a micro trail trekker
losi 27mhz with crystal
traxxas tq 27mhz with 4ch rx

 

I got two sct with no radio and one losi spektrum mx3000 rx. I do have a axial ax3 but haven't tested its range yet. depending if it has good range ill need two tx's and two rx's. if be interested in a tx and rx you have. I was planning on getting a 2.4 rx/tx from hobby king anyway. pm going

 

can anyone tell me what kind of things i should get to keep up on maintenance on the truck i just got. its my first R/C and i have no idea

like oils and tools or anything.

 

Whoa! Havent been in here in a while! Anyway, I recently bought a HPI Apache C1 from Tower. I'll throw up pics later!

 

what did you end up getting?
just keep it clean, dont leave a battery connected when not in use. Not sure what else to suggest, maybe lube bearings also

 

Use a dry lubricant on things like hinge pins ect. Don't use wd40, it's a dirt magnet! It's easiest to clean with compressed air too. Just blow it off everytime you use it unless you get it muddy. Then just wipe it down with a wet rag. As far as bearings go I used to take the rubber seals out and put marine grease in there. Protects them from rusting if water gets in there and dirt gets caught in the grease instead of in the bearing.

 

Mostly done, still gotta paint the mirrors and add some more stickers, far from perfect but I like it.

 

i got the associated sc10 4x4 brushless lipo combo

thing is a beast!!

im mainly asking about tools and oils because i would like to build a small work table or have a tackle box with everything i would need to do a complete tear down and rebuild

and i run my truck in a dusty area and it gets awfully dirty.. after every run i have to flip over the truck and bang out the rocks and dirt lol

They don't need much maintanance as long as it doesn't get wet. Blow it off with compressed air should be good to go. Replace bearings as needed and service shocks once in a while.

Not much maintenance needed with electric rc's. Just replace whatever gets worn out.

 

awesome sounds good to me

 

^ That's one advantage of electric over nitro r/c's, a lot less maintenance! Just pop in a fresh battery and go!

 

Looks bad ass. I am really impressed.
