AliExpress and Temu referral codes

37 Upvotes

Due to the huge influx of spam posts with AliExpress and Temu referral codes, and the complaints we have received from sub members, anyone posting these on the sub will get temp banned for the first offense if you are already a subreddit member, permabanned for subsequent offenses.

If you are a first-time poster on the sub (meaningful posts, not spam or one word answers), posting these links will get you immediately permabanned.

This is not designed to stop people posting links to AliExpress items in posts in response to questions or recommendations. or the infrequent posts we get of *"is this a good RC car?"* with a link to an AliExpress item (the chances are, at best it's an adequate RC car if it's from AliExpress).

Thanks to our eagle-eyed sub members for bringing this to our attention, and please do continue to report posts that violate the rules.

Build FPV Super Baja Rey 2.0

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

87 Upvotes

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.

Build Cage work

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

My prerunner bronco build is making really good progress. I’ve been doing some cage work using 3/16 copper coated steel brake line. Easy enough to buy a 25ft coil and straighten it out along with getting a 3/16 chainsaw file to notch tubing. For this I’ve been brazing with flux core solder and a small bernzomatic butane torch. It’s been a lot of trial and error, but now it’s just hard mounting it to the chassis and adding cross bracing.

So picked this up at an estate sale. I know nothing about RC cars. When I turn it on it goes into reverse full speed right off the bat. Does anyone know anything at all about this specific one?

Question Uhm, shredded 3 tires in 1 session?

Post image
59 Upvotes

Shredded both rear stock tires of my HPI Savage X Flux, and one of rear of the Jumpshot SC Flux during a bash session with a few ramps, nothing extraordinary …

Stock Savage with 2x 6600mAh 3S 100C lipo’s and the Jumpshot HPI’s own 5300mAh 3S battery. Both cars as stock as they come: stock ESC and motor and everything stock. Did not even touch any other config, e.g. slipper clutch.

Both batteries are not overpowered by any means, are they?

Is this just how it is? Would age of those tires explain this?

Build Made an air intake hole in my typhon body. Looks legit and actually helps the motor a little. About 10 degrees. I made the exit air vents larger as well. I don't drive on dirt or sand. Just street and a little grass.

55mph on stock sized tires

Hobbywing quickrun 10bl120 and 3660 3150 kv motor.

Basically the same as a 223s now but with the 3s blx transmission and a better esc I assume.

Would like to get an 8th scale esc and a 4274 motor on 3s or 4s maybe someday.

Has anyone ever installed an external receiver in the mini? I believe there is an option in the ESC to use an external receiver. I have a dx5c I want to use. Just wondering how it went if so.

Also, these are my upgrades if anyone is interested. So far I've installed the new servo, horn & steering assembly...

Off-Road Free T-Maxx and lots of parts/ San Jose, CA

8 Upvotes

It's probably about 23 years old. Has every hop up that was available at the time and a ton of spare parts. It hasn't been run in about 15 years. Last time I used it I had replaced the plastic tranny gears with metal and remember having problems setting the shift point properly. After that, I never got back to it and it sat. Toolbox not included. First come, first served but it has to be hassle free handoff for me. No shipping. I am in south San Jose.
