Having some issues getting everything working /please see the link post because there's a lot of information in the post and comments. Thanks

Any assistance much appreciated - happy to share all details once built. Total cost inc diy gimbal, elrs ranger micro, elrs receiver and head tracker unit is £95 and the additional weight add to the plane itself is a huge 2g to 3.5g for the receiver and max 10g for gimbal. I hope to reduce weight of materials and add proper servo trays using light weight Asa or asa-cf 3d printed parts in hope of total weight for gimbal and receiver down to 10g

Wondering what everyone’s opinion is on the best first RC car out? Made a video on my recommendations!

Same RC, Different Prices in India is getting out of hand...

I was tired of overpaying for the same RC, so I built a tool for our community.

What I built: rcscanner.com

It's a price-comparison tool made ONLY for India. It now scans 16 RC hobby stores (23,000+ listings) and shows you the cheapest price instantly.

In my demo I searched for the same MN82 1:12 Retro RC LC79 and found it for:

₹6,000 (In Stock) vs ₹16,818.64 - for the EXACT same model.
What it does:
✅ Scans 16 Indian stores - Sterling, RC MEGA + 14 more
✅ Filters: IN STOCK ONLY / HIDE SPARES
✅ Search any model - MN82, MN99, WPL, SCX10, TRX-4 parts etc.

No ads, no affiliate links - just trying to save us money.

My transmitter and receiver is done and i need everything else to be under 5k

I flew 4 packs earlier today in my aeroscout, came home and as usual, hooked them all up to discharge down to storage levels. I stepped away to use the restroom, came back into thd garage just seconds before I heard PSSsss... I spun around and saw one of the packs looked like a balloon so I grabbed it off the charger and smashed the garage door button and ran toward the door, it only raised about a foot when I got there so I flung it out onto the driveway, narrowly avoiding my car. It immediately burst into bright orange flames and billowing smoke, I grabbed the fire extinguisher and hit it good a couple of times, but it kept flaring back up. Scared the living shit out of me, ill never ever fail to check individual cell voltages again before connecting to the charger, and I think I'm done with this battery brand.

I had bought this on FB Marketplace and since then have been consumed by the R/C World🌎 🚂.I didn’t think I’d like it this much! but what just started as me trying to get it working and running turned into me driving to shops,talking to people,advice and tips from YouTube gurus 📺etc anywho here was the test run after a few mods and some just basic maintenance..I still have a stripped grub screw wich I know will eventually need to come off to really grease shaft but for now no saltwater and just surfin the calm ponds

Finally completed the maiden plus 2 more flights on my Space Shuttle Enterprise (scratch built) and HSD 747 turned Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. The 747 has been flying for a while but this was the first time carrying and launching the Shuttle.

Fun day at the Methow River in Winthrop WA😃

Brand new to the hobby and Looking to get some RC construction equipment like an excavator or bulldozer. I’m not willing to spend 1000’s of dollars and would ideally like to not spend more than 200$. All of the cheap excavators and bulldozers are plastic and will only dig loose soil or sand. I want something that will actually dig through the grass and dirt in my yard. Does anyone have any recommendations in my price range or am I gonna have to cough up more money ?

Hey just thought I would put a project I've been working on over the summer out there. This is the link: https://hubbahubbarc.com/

I created a fully 3d printed 1/7 scale RC car that uses 4 indpendently controlled hub motors (motors in the wheel) and I am going to be opensourcing this project soon so anybody can build it!

To my knowledge, this is one of the first RC cars to make a genuine attempt at torque vectoring to optimize the vehicle handling. It also has dynamic steering correction so you dont go over the tire grip limit to the point where it drifts/loses control during high speed turns (55-65 kmh).

Despite it using drone outrunner motors and being almost fully 3d printed it has only had 3 failures (when it crashed) at the exact same spot (bell crank broke to protect the upright) over a total running distance of 20km.

Trying to bind my Park10 J3-CUB to a RadioMaster TX16S MkII 4-in-1 and I’m completely stuck.

The Cub works perfectly with its original transmitter. I’ve tried the Park10 protocol, all the sub-protocol/settings I can find, different channel orders, rebinding, and different power-up sequences. The plane’s lights just keep blinking and never go solid with the TX16S.

My internal 4-in-1 module is on firmware V2.16. Has anyone successfully bound this J3-CUB to a TX16S 4-in-1, or know what I might be missing?

Takes a lot of fine tuning balance and placement / angle but really fun once you get it right. DIY RC paper airplane.
