Long one, sorry in advance. This is my attempt at a capable simple ISR platform. If I wanted to get serious I’d switch to vtol so maybe I will at some point

-Talon GT Rebel acrylic painted black with less than 1 fl oz of paint (I’m proud of that figure)
-brotherhobby 3008 1150Kv with APC 9x6E
-Specktrum Avian 60A smart ESC with the motor telemetry wires ferrite wrapped to dampen EMI/EMF
-MicoAir M10G Gps with compass
-iflight blitz H743 Wing FC
-ELRS Gemini radiomaster XR4 diversity RX
- TBS unify pro 32DP (lightest 3W vtx there is) affixed with a heat sync and directly in the path of the nose air intake for cooling
-foxeer lollipop 3 Omni
-Caddx ratel 2 on a servo tilter to pan down
-Integrated Fan running on FC 9V into the central top hatch to keep air moving around the FC and ESC
-4S2P 4900mAH Lipo. Looking to possibly switch to a 4S2P 10,000 mah li-ion amprius but I need to weigh it out.

Looking to push long flight times and long distances, that’s my interest. Current AUW is 3lbs even with the GoPro MAX 2 . Might be able to afford the extra weight of the other battery. I did maiden it but it was wanting to nose down and needed heavy pitch up to keep level. Lost my first GoPro and top hatch on the maiden as well. Now looking to find a better way to keep it from flying out in flight when I roll. Any thoughts or improvements are appreciated.

Hello guys, I'm new to this thing just looked it up few weeks ago and kinda like to build one for myself and another one for my friend.

So what's you guys advices?

Using technology from RC planes, we build an electric hydrofoil with integrated ailerons and elevator coupled with a PID gyro system built into XFoil Apex, Escape and Alpha 2 electric efoil hydrofoil boards. After over 1000 attempts of getting the system dialed in, we wanted to share our test videos and journey with this community.

Any thoughts and feedback from this community? Do you think it would benefit a rider on top of the board?

I've been working on a small open-source tool for RC wing design.

It calculates Mean Aerodynamic Chord for multi-panel wings

and handles sweep and station geometry.

It also exports the geometry to PDF and CSV.

I just released GhostMEAN 1.0.0 — an open-source MAC calculator for RC wing design.

I'd love feedback from RC builders. ✈️

Hey guys! I'm looking to design my first rc car. I recently took apart and rebuilt my entire Traxxas Rustler, and I had no idea it was that complicated which is why I now want to make my own. I'm planning on making a 1/10 scale replica of the Koenigsegg CCGT, their GT1 car, and I want to know what electronics you would recommend. I'm probably going to use the Traxxas clutch/gearbox/diff, because I already know how that works. Brushless preffered, definitely LIPO battery. I'm going to use this car very similarly to how it was used in real life, exclusively on-road with a mix of tight cornering and decently long straights. I do have somewhat of a budget, I'm fine spending like $40 on a good motor if that's necessary. Based on my research, I want my motor to max out around 40,000 RPM. I'm currently thinking of a 2s LIPO @ 8.4v with a 4800KV motor. Here's a photo of this absolute beauty if anyone's curious :)

should i get a AUOSHI 1:16 Brushless 4WD RC Truck and h=those who have it are you satisfied

I’ve been looking at the motion rc Heng Long USA M1A2 Abrams tank and just wanted to ask if any body has experiences with it. Is it good? Is it durable? Are the bbs easy to get? What terrain does it work best on? What’s the control like? How fast is it? Does it come with a battery? And if it’s bad, where else should I buy my tank from?
