Anyone into R/C?

The issue is that most of those traxxis batteries are 3s while only a few of the SCX10's are 3s capable. The rest are 2s. So while I have no idea what it will do with the extra volts, I feel they distinguish between them for a reason.

Good read regarding 2-3s.

 

not sure i follow. sorry, still trying to learn. I read up on the C ratings (discharge mostly) and understand them.. but still have lots to learn.

 

Anything I can answer?

 

your previous post.. not sure I follow.

also on a work PC so havent checked the link yet. not that i cant.. just not alot of time. always running around. lol

 

A better article on batteries. The speed controller for the Traxxis can handle LiPo or NiMH. You can switch between the two.

 

Couple of bodies I just painted.

 

I turned my Trail Trekker into this:


I had to use a MicroRockCrawler chassis to get the body to sit right. I'm working on some rear steer right now.

 

Anyone know of a decent 1 channel wireless switch? need something that can run on 12 volts, and at the very minimum, supply the amperage to fire a standard 35 amp automotive relay. looking for something with a latched switch (1 click on, 1 click off). I can easily get one that will fire a relay from 50-100 yards away, but the ones that can go 1/4 mile + are all 8-12 relay boards with remotes the size of a cell phone. looking for something the size of a key fob if possible. figured maybe there would be something in the RC world, since there are 2+channel transmitters that can handle that distance.

 

well, now that im stuck at home on disability, i figured i would resurrect my toys in the garage... here are the first few that i dusted off this week... got about 4 more storage cases to dust off...

HPI Mini Trophy brushless


HPI RS4 belt driven i have had since 1998 i think. On 17t brushed with lipo


My current crawler. I have never had an actual kit. Got into crawling before the fancy kits came out, so i typically used axles from Tamiya TLTs, trannys from Traxxas Stampedes, drivelines from Jatos, and miscellaneous linkage sets. This one is on 55t brushed on lipo. The 85t may go into it next.

 

i need to get with you about doing up a body for me... i lack the patience to paint... hahahaha

 

Couple of my first crawlers back in 2008 or earlier... can't remember...

 

Love that HPI Bronco body. I want one bad.

I got 3 of mine back operation this morning...I had a package from USPS yesterday. I got another one today to hopefully finish my rear steer Trail Trekker.

 

Dusted off a couple more...

My Losi XXX-SCB


Slash with custom aluminum front long travel arms.

 

What a great collection Mike!

 

Those are awesome mike !!

 

thanks guys! can't believe how expensive kits are now though... i wandered into Hobby People the other day and WOW....

 

So now my 11 year old daughter has taken an interest and she bought her own stadium truck. It's a hunk of junk that can't seem to go very fast, but it's cool while she learns how to maneuver...

Her DHK Razr

So i dusted off and charged up my old stadium truck. For a cheap little brushless, this thing just tears shit up.
XTM Xcelerator brushless

 

Sooo I really want the new Yeti SCORE truck..

Was sold on a new slash 4x4, with all the new additions.. But Damn.. The Yeti is just Bad.. Ass.. it isn't water proof though..

 

i saw a teaser photo of the Yeti body on... need to see the rest of it...
