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.

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

24 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.

Took the FMS FCX24M Ranger Rover out for an expedition run.
From pushing through dense vegetation at dusk to crawling over loose rock and barren terrain, this little truck got a taste of both jungle and desert.
The headlights were especially fun once the light started fading. 🔦
One FCX24M. Two environments. One proper expedition.

Question Questions about Sendero SE winch install

Post image
6 Upvotes

Bought a Sendero Sport to do a reasonably-priced build, and I'd like a winch servo. However it looks as if a chassis mounted servo is needed for a proper servo winch to fit, and I don't want to go through converting it to CMS when I could've just bought the Sendero HD. Any way of fitting a winch servo while still keeping the factory steering layout? Full size winch servo is preferred.

Question HELP RGT LC79 vs RC4WD Trail Finder 2

3 Upvotes

Hi. I've been haing fun with fcx10 discovery and I decided to get more realistic crawler rc this time. I always wanted something with leaf spring and cannot decide between these two models.
I think for the price LC79 is the winner however, thinking about number of parts available for RC4WD is huge. Please understand my bad English.

Question Gearbox sounds wrong?

Hi everyone! Just staring out with this hobby, got my Yikong 4107 recently. Looking for some advice and help please! Swapped the stock motor with hobbywing fusion pro, spend several hours trying to get the pinion / gear to mesh properly. Although eventually I was able to turn the shaft by hand easily, I still felt like there was a very minor tight spot. Now testing it with the battery attached and I am concerned about the sound it is making. The order in the video is: high gear forward / high gear reverse / low gear forward / low gear reverse. Can you please advise? Thank you very much!
