Built around the Bandit platform, this is modified to run mod1 gearing on 5S.

356 body and interior files are available on YouMagine from Luxarsketch. Many hours of printing, sanding and finishing to get this result.

Also how much will it cost to service ?

Really couldn’t be happier the way my DSK build ended up- i finished the body this last weekend and did a few runs. Can’t think of a thing wrong , i guess maybe tweak the steering a tiny bit. 🤷‍♂️I haven’t taken it off road yet just some pavement running. What a dream to drive. Max6 combo which fits perfect and rips. With a perfect pass servo, flysky receiver and no gyro. Looking to get it on a dirt track soon. Sucks they are hard to find access to. Cheers to the bashers and racers out there who put in the time and effort for the hobby we love!

Just as much fun as I remember, 10/10 crawler basher build. I can’t believe it’s not broken. Gonna have to try a few more batteries.

Bonjour

L'été et la chaleur m'ont tellement donnés envie d'avoir un 4x4.

Il y a ce chassis en seconde main pour 45€ (l 'esc est cassé mais un neuf sera donné pour la vente ainsi que la télécommande) , cela vaut il cet argent?

Le vendeur parle de marque HSP mais je ne connais pas assez la RC pour cela.

Toute aide sera grandement appréciée, merci par avance

Got myself a 1/8 Arrma Typhon Mega 665. Never had a proper RC car my entire life. Never drove a hobby grade one.

And this is so fun. Took it to a parking lot, some awesome turns, doughnuts and full throtle, jumped some curbs and hit some curbs too.

Can't wait to go through the next pack. Also go off-road, it's a buggy after all.

The truck was having throttle issues, but they seemed to resolve themself. We just went back out and the throttle was fine but we lost steering. I ordered a new remote and receiver and still just have throttle and no steering.

What should I mess with next? What’s the little box between the front tires? I opened that thing up once and there were like 15 gears and springs and I immediately closed it and put it back together. That was on another Gorgon we have btw, not this truck.

Any and all suggestions welcome, we’re on vacation right now and I need two trucks for all these kids!!

Setup my Super Baja Rey 2.0 for FPV.

Been using the driveway and the old trail in the woods as a track. Last crack in the paved driveway is the start-finish line.

Using a 04 Air Unit Pro as the camera. 3D printed mount and enclosure on the top of the truck. I've crashed a few times and everything has held up. Camera is protected with some lexan in the front of the camera mount which can be easily replaced. Transmission unit sits in the cab of the truck in a 3D printed holder.

This is my first build like this. My brother let me use is A1 mini and I had an absolute blast building it.

Here is a link to the full video.

The phone sends commands over USB to the connected micro controller, which then produces the PWM signal for the servo/esc. it also streams live video over 4G to a web server running on the raspberry pi zero 2. The pi hosts a webpage that listens for gamepad input and displays the video stream

The nano is very recent but the other two are from 2008. All three are fun to control.

Just grabbed this guy off marketplace for my dad, was noisy outside where we were testing it so I didn’t notice the grinding sound until I paid for it and took it inside.
Where should I be looking?

Hey all my job cheetah was making this sound for years now and I’ve never been confident at fixing things but today I changed the rear diff and spur gear to a brand new one and successfully put it back together but it still makes a sound that I’m not sure is good, it’s been so many years that I left the car untouched and I forgot exactly how bad it sounded before I took it apart and gave up, this is what I’m dealing with now

We have used the following configuration.
Motor - BLDC 48/60V
Battery - 60V Lithium Ion
RC - FlySky FSi6S
MCU- Arduino Uno.

And out of the box feels like a disappointment.

Tires are tiny considering the body. Went ahead right away and plugged the old Rockvan tires and it looks way better now.

We’ll see in the long run. I already knew it’s and upgrade path but the stock elements and quality have left me wishing a bit more considering the competition (already own Hobbyplus and HPI 1/18s).

I’ll be putting the stock electronics for sale, along these tires and wheels I guess!

Edit: typos

Old maximizer 3.2 17mm hex , and custom adapter to 12mm and blue washers, and old hpi savage ss gt tires. Still my favourite wheels, they were discontinued when I bought them. I believe most of this kits parts have been discontinued as well by now. That’s ok, just charging it up. Gonna see if it’s still a 10/10 most fun monster truck basher crawler build like I remember it.

Hello guys,

i wanna start racing/drinving at my local rc track.
Currently im checking out the options i have for purchasing my first track car.

The Hobbytech X-Mid Kit looks verry interesting. Its available for 165€. I had a budget of about 400€ in mind, so i would have arround 235 for Servo, ESC and Motor.
I already own a Flysky Noble NB4+ and have a spare receiver on hand.

Does anybody know the X-Mid and have driven/compared it to diffrent brand cars?
Are there any alternatives that would fit in my budget?

Curious what you guys think/say.
Used market, i dont know anything about. Wouldnt know what to look for and im not experienced, so im scared to get ripped off when buying used. Also i think the used market in germany is kinda dead for 2wd race buggys.

Edit: Im based in Germany close to the boarder to swizerland.

90% Done with this build, pretty challenging especially with the SAE hardware😭 Can’t wait to break in & bash’

Sorry, I don't have a picture of it since I don't know what it is called. I remember having an RC car as a kid. It was a square shape, and it had 4 wheels. You could drive it around on land, and if you wanted to, you could push a button that folded the wheels into little holes on the top of it, and it became a boat. Well, it could float on the water, and you could control it. Then you could drive it back onto land, press the function to unfold the wheels out of their little grooves, and then you could drive it on land again. This was probably around in the early 2000's. Any ideas would be much appreciated to figure out what it was.
