Anyone into R/C?

I'm curious what that round/spherical metal object is, in the back, next to the lighter.

 

Butt plug.
There. It's been said.

Moving on.

 

I’m guessing candle or ash tray

 

Yea that's my thought as well, it looks pretty cool.

 

Lovin my pro

 

The Orlandoo f150 is built and the Jeep is still in the box it came in.

 

Pm me a price, more curious, but no promises, just kinda keeping an eye out. Kinda need to put some money into the Tacoma once in a while.

 

Good luck and have fun. Have a few myself.

 

Got the confirmation email at midnight Tower Hobbies had the Axial Capra in stock. Justified to myself I need this. Order was placed 15 minutes later.

 

I put in for one last Sunday while working. Servo came yesterday for the dig. Still uncertain on the servo and motor/esc. I feel this rig will be plenty brushed bit damnit I love my brushless rigs too

 

Holmes Hobbies just released a 5-slot Crawlmaster Sport motor, 540 and 550 size. That and a Hobbywing 1080 would be a great cheap set-up, and very smooth.

 

I ordered my Capra the other day, I’m going crawler bushed to start off, then maybe go bouncer brushless with it.

 

I was debating brushless but have decided to cheap out and use what I have on hand. I got a high turn motor, 80t I think, and will use the HW1080 ESC. Servos will likely be robbed from other things as well as wheels/tires. Gonna go 2.2 with it and run some DeepWoods or some old RockGrabbers.

 

550 cans won’t work. This is of the test rig in the videos.

 

Didn't read all 800 pages but I've been flying rc planes on and off for 30 yrs. Glow powered only for me. Electric just feels like giving up. Might as well just tool around the driveway in the daughter's Barbie jeep.

 

Yeah 540 limited. I wish castle would bring back the slate motors. Probably buy a Holmes motor and run castle esc.

I hate stealing electronics from stuff.....but I think the 1900kv slate and mamba x would be nice from my venture. I really wish I had another slate...castle where are they....

I do have an older sidewinder, rtr HPI and a rtr ae5 up there too just to get me by.....I could grab a motor from Holmes I want to run bfg krawler 1.9 and have something 2.2 as well for a high heel setup on this... That puts me to servo. I grabbed the dig already but I may try Futaba or protek

 

Holmes has it in 540 as well. Key difference from others is it is a closed endbell. But it's only $15 so who cares about rebuilding it anyway.

 

The HW 1080 is gold. I like it better than my Tekin. If I am going brushed, I see no reason to look elsewhere. Plan to order a couple of these HH as soon as Amain stocks them. Glad to see Holmes continue to release disposable cans

 

I used to hate the idea of a sealed can when I was younger. Now I don't give a crap - leave it sealed, I don't want to mess with it. I'll be getting the new 5-slot when the trailmaster sport in my TRX-4 gets tired, or I get bored with it.

Still thinking about putting a HW1080 and a 540 version of the new HH motor in my very old SCX10 but not sure if it's really worth upgrading anymore or just doing the bare minimum to keep it functional. The 1080 is way better than its ancient Novak Rooster crawler ESC, but it's still functional and would continue functioning just fine with a HH crawlmaster sport.

 

I rc-drift, does it count? lol I am planning on building 2 offroad rigs to replicate my Taco and the T4R
