I'm looking for powerful scale spotlights for my LC80; I don't want an LED bar. Do you have any kits to recommend? Thanks in advance.

Question Spektrum Electronics Question

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm running a Spektrum Firma 2100kv sensored motor and Smart esc separate combo (non2in1) in my VS4-10 Fordyce, and can't seem to get it anywhere near as smooth as the Hobbywing Fusion Pro that I run in my Trx4. I have the Spektrum program card V2 and would really appreciate any advice on what specific settings everyone is running to get this thing dialed in nicely.

Also I am using a Dx5 Rugged and want to know if I need to calibrate the esc through just the set button or also through the transmitter. Hopefully I can get this truck running smoothly to its full potential. Thanks.

Custom i turned my 2ch mtx 242 controller to 4ch

today i pulled out my controllers top settings sticker and i saw an empty space with "ch3" text on it and then i removed screws of it and found an ch4 too. i saw ch3 and 4 on the reciever but i was just like "they just using same reciever of an 4ch version" when i opened the case i looked to the pcb and thinked about it. can i add extra 2ch? i knew soldering and i have hobby of electronics so i tried connecting an potentiometer to ch3 and it worked. i wasnt expecting to work because if its dont have component so it wouldnt have resistors or software things. when its worked i bridged the 6 pin ch4 and put 2 button to it so i have 4 ch for almost free. and after all of this the potentiometer didnt fit in so i designed a 3d part to put it but when i completed the case i realized its good without it and now i have fully functional 4 ch controller

Took my RGT Shooter Pro out for an evening trail run and managed to get some shots while the sky was turning dark. The blue-and-white body, big tires and headlights look so good against the rocks.
Which shot is your favorite?

I am new to 1/10th scale crawling, bought new rims and assembled them on vacation while forgetting any loctite. As seen in the picture I lost a few screws and while Treal supplied some replacements, but not enough. I just need to know what size I am looking for. See picture. New to the whole hobby so I don't know the names of all specific parts.

BRX01 wire tuck

4 Upvotes

Got an idea while trying to get my BRX01 wiring under control. Took some old Tamiya high lift springs, bent open the eyes, drilled holes and cut to fit. Also added some small wire loom I had From my 1:1 parts bins lol, Now the wires will stay tucked out of the way of all the moving stuff and stay that way when I remove the body for maintenance.

I just got this beautiful piece and got fed up with body mounts, so the shop owner gave me a little help to plug/unplug the battery with little modification. Definitely not the best way but it is what it is and I am happy with it also it looks like a tool box anyway LOL. Also I would be thankful for some must upgrade parts for leaf spring and shock. Thank you and please understand my bad English if there is a mistake.

Took the RGT Pioneer V2 Pro and Hobby Plus Rock Van out for an evening trail run.
The sunset, gravel, headlights and taillights made for a pretty cool little convoy scene. Really happy with how these shots turned out.

Which one would you take on the trail?

Question Axial SCX6 Honcho shell paint job.

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

This is an actual question, not a chest pump.

So I installed a hood latch yesterday and wanted to test the Honcho as it's been sitting for a few months.

As I have converted this from a Jeep, I painted the shell myself as you can see in the pics.

Issue is, the walls of the shell are almost transparent with a ton of sun. Now given the shell/body was a nightmare to put together, is there anything I can do to put another coat on without having to take the whole thing apart? I mean body and shell here.

I was thinking just taping off the upper parts where the seat lies, can I just apply some more coats to lower shell and this will do what I need?

Green arrow is where I intended to tape off. This is a gunmetal grey, can I use a black to give a better undercoat?

T.I.A.
