Anyone into R/C?

Ahh you parts guys were always on your own program

(Former general sales manager)

 

New fan screams

 

I still can't believe that you are still running that Spektrum battery.....you have to swap the esc connector for a XT60 and throw a 2s Gens Ace in there. The battery and its charger is holding you back.

 

Yep, but I run it without issue?

It's their 3S.

 

How do you balence charge or storage charge with that charger?

 

The battery has like 3 cables on the plug, so it both charges and balances (requiring the Spektrum specific charger).

After I believe 2 days of non-use, it automatically discharges to a specific voltage.

I thought it was weird to not have a discharge option (since I do for my crawlers) but it works well.

 

@Strictlytoyz

Blue servo definitely looks cooler







Also, ordered a body with the 20% site sale combined with the LGRP membership and free shipping.

 

Sheesh, yeah that looks good! Tight on funds for a little bit so nothing new going on over here on my end. Just playing around in the yard lol

 

I don't even plan to take this one out anywhere really

My Cheatcode though? That's the one I don't mind thrashing at the course.

Speaking of, I need to take it out again one of these days.

 

Not bad I'd say

 

How are those Grippers? Need to pick up another set of tires for my heavy 1.0 wheels, the HXH Pins aren't working well outdoors on the wet rocks

 

Hello sir would you be able to do me a quick favor? Can you see if you can grab me three measurements?
1. What is the exact length from the tip of the grill to the back of the tailgate? It might be easier to measure it from the bottom since it's open.
2. what is the exact width in between the front two wheel wells and the exact width between the rear wheel openings?
3. what is the exact length from this center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel well? I've been trying to find all of the dimensions on this but I couldn't find anything online And I didn't want to just blow $76 on Amazon for something that might not fit one of my rigs.

 

Honestly I am more interested in the 300Z.

 

I'll try to remember to grab those when I get home from work tonight!

 

In my hands they feel super grippy, moreso than my Black Labels

But this rig is just for fun, I don't even think I'll take it anywhere to run

 

With the newborn here I haven't gotten to that much R/C stuff, but I did replace the FCX24 motor (one of the wires tore off the old one) and get it running right, shifts well finally and crawls great in low gear, and the new suspension has pretty good flex which helps too

 

Having a newborn/baby was encouragement to build/buy

Time for a new build

 

length is about 25.75 inches, I don’t have a long enough ruler to get an exact measurement.

 

I'm debating what's next. Given the size of my backyard course and the trails around here, the UTB18 Capra 4WS is high on my list... just need it to come down in price for a holiday haha

I did also just order the DJCrawler 72mm Pins today, the FCX24 has tons of clearance and can always use more so figured I'd give them a shot. Going to be hilariously oversized for the truck/scale.
