Anyone into R/C?

Build it with rear steer and dual motor mixing tmin the radio ..... OMFG

 

Let me figure this build out first

BOA is totally new to me



Have to say, it allows a shit ton of flex meaning I'll be limited only by the length and mounting position of whatever shocks I use

 

3Flow9 front drag link and tie rod arrives this Monday, should help with covering all bases in making this rig as competitive as possible

 

So question for the experienced -

Dinky RC offers a tiny ESC as well as BKTT

Unfortunately both are out of stock of their programmers but being AM32, they can easily be programmed with any such programmer

Should I just skip Dinky and BKTT and assume they won't perform any differently than the $10 ESC found on Aliexpress?

I did actually order two Chinese ESC's for fun but if they're no different, I may run them in my comp rigs as they're really small.

 

Yea need some advice I guess I used to have a scx10 and wanted to get back into it.. looking at either the traxxas rover or the new axial 1/8 buggy. What do you all think?

 

Here’s my old rc

 

Holy shit...I ordered these just some 4-5 days ago and they're already here

 

Try Holmes hobby maybe?

Two ESC's with programmers just arrived

 

Guess I didn’t read that write. My day must have kicked in

 

No you read correctly

The two ESC's just arrived minutes ago

I'll put those to work before trying out any of the "premium" guys' versions

 

Traxxas has become some what proprietary, not a personal fan of their stuff.
1/8 scale is huge, Axial is a great company. Maybe consider getting another 1/10 Axial. They make some cool buggies and UTB's. If you still have the SCX10, maybe give it a refresh with a tube frame buggy and use the old parts. I did that recently and it's a whole new vehicle now.

 

That’s a good idea but I told my father in law he could have it. Good to know about traxxas

 

As much as it's a PITA with Traxxas having their own stuff (battery connectors specifically), the quality of their products is usually very high and they're generally easy to work on. My TRX4M has been excellent as has my 1/16 E-Revo VXL. I do love Axial as well, but the build and component quality usually feels lower.

 

I also had a traxxas 4wd slash at one point. That thing was a beast

 

If you're looking for a new 1/10 check out Redcat. Lots of cool stuff coming from them lately.

 

Will do. Thanks for the advice

 

Damn redcat makes thing cheap

 

Since I had another body, thinking I was gonna use the XL chassis, it's staying on the first build

Went metallic black all around, and solid black on the windows



I wanted a really subtle contrast so this should do it
