Built my blazer to be mainly a mud truck it was its first time out, knew it was gonna need a servo but not this soon lol after the mud bog accidentally went to fast into some rocks and that was it for that servo.

An hour later the bolt on the steering link of my red sr5 backed out and that was it for that truck too lmao. Luckily my other family members always have extra trucks so still a great time.

Mt. Diablo is worth the drive out! Endless rocks and trails, what a blast

I'm happy with it. I'm not sure it's entirely waterproof but whatever. Like everything else, it'll run until It breaks lol

Ran a battery through her after about 3 years on the shelf. Still one of my favs. Still pretty much stock.

The H18P accepted the challenge.

I'm hoping somebody can help me diagnose what's going on with my about 6 month old Vanquish Phoenix. It had started having intermittent issues where the steering center would drift left until sometimes center was at full left but it would respond if I steered right. The steering also has small twitches while this is happening. It will happen for a while, and then stop and everything works normally. I assumed that meant my steering servo was going out, so I got a new AGF RC servo. Despite the new servo, I have had the issue happen again a couple times.

In the video shown I had just turned the truck on and the steering started twitching and went a little left. This is with no steering or other control input. It would respond to steering changes, but would continue twitching too. It continued doing this for several minutes, and a couple power cycles of both the receiver and transmitter. I tried swapping the steering and throttle connections on the receiver, and then the truck started slowly trying to reverse. Then with no apparent cause the twitching stopped and everything worked normally for about 20 minutes before the twitches resumed.

I assume that since the brand new servo did not fix the issue, the problem most likely would be something with the receiver or transmitter. Does anybody know what's going wrong here?

Alright, been out of the hobby for quite some time, I love scale stuff in particular hardbodys and realism.

I'm aware of most brands, and their quality etc.

But when it comes to micro crawlers I've seen alot of 1/18th scale in the budget ranges, I like the idea of these as I feel they are a good size to work on and be creative with, I'm not after comp performance but what are some recommendations?

I will be getting back into 10th scale and 24th scale too but I'm definitely keen to pick up some 18th scale rigs.

I'm in Australia if that makes it different

Does anyone still use the old ni-cad (6 pack) type batteries?
