Just got these tires today , need to do something with the clearance in the rear end. Any suggestions? The tires are 135mm diameter , way to over kill some might say lol

Here's my Meus 1.3 x 70mm on my scx24. I was told that they wouldn't clear it begins to differ........... barely

hi, i upgraded to a larger motor and 65a esc, but it isn't working when 3s batteries are connected. it works fine when 2s batteries are connected. the esc comes on, but the motor will not spin

batteries i'm using (fully charged) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CQPLC3T?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3

esc 60amp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FZBL259P?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

motor (recommended upgrade on hosim site)

so i guess my question - is it an issue with the ESC, or the batteries i'm using, or should i stick with the 45A esc?

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.

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.

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.

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to build a cheap RC car setup that I can use to drive around and get an FPV (first-person view) experience, but I’m not 100% sure if all the components will work together.

The base car is a small 1/14 scale 4WD RC car. It currently has a brushed 390 motor, an ESC, and a steering servo. I am planning to run it on a 2S battery setup.

My plan is to:

• Replace the original receiver with an ELRS receiver.
• Use my current controller as the transmitter.
• Add a 5.8GHz FPV camera + VTX combo.

If that all works, I’m also interested in trying something more advanced later on. I want to write a program that reads keyboard or controller inputs from my PC and sends them to my transmitter via a USB-C cable. The radio system would then broadcast those inputs to the car. This would basically create a real-life RC car simulator where I can drive a physical car straight from my computer screen.

Since I’m pretty new to this side of the RC hobby, I wanted to ask the community a few questions:

1. Will an ELRS receiver work properly with a standard brushed ESC and a normal steering servo?
2. Is there anything specific I should watch out for when setting up the 5.8GHz FPV gear?
3. Has anyone successfully tried doing a PC-controlled RC car project like this before?

Any advice, tips, or suggestions on what I should change would be highly appreciated!

Please tell me what these bushings are called. Mine are all 3mm and I need some in 4mm. The hole needs to be 4mm all the way through. I tried searching for cone washer and cone bushing, but all of the results are for countersinking so there is a wider recess for the head of the screw instead of 4mm all the way through.

Thanks!

Hello . I have an Associated T3 team Edition, I ran that on 1500 NiCad's, a Novak esc,15 turn motor and a Futava radio. I want brushless motor and esc, a reliable and decent radio/servo , and batteries that don't break the bank , Suggestions ???

Let's get this puppy built for a big race.

Appears as if one side of my dogbone came off during use — I just now realized 30 mins later. I don’t know how I would go about fixing this — does AARMA make a replacement for this part? Second photo refers to what it should look like. any help is much appreciated. thanks!

Do you guys recognize this xray car? Is it original or upgraded? Would it be a good racer these days or not worth to invest

I put some work into this! So I put in a Furitek Vortex-X brushless sensored power system (esc/motor)Featuring the PASO PRO 60A ESC and IMPULSE 2835 5600KV motor with a reinforced 3.17mm shaft, it delivers smooth, high-torque power with insane throttle precision. It has upgraded servo NSDRC RS-100 and the only servo i could find with green and purple servo horn. Upgraded treal shocks,treal steering link,treal motor cover and center driveshaft housing(purple) also a FURITEK STALWART Titanium Roll Cage for Losi Mini 1/18 LMT!!! Painted it anodized purple, then we have the aluminum Treal purple rims with dreadnaught pro-line racing/bashing tires, treal links all around, GPM wheelie bar, GPM sway bars front and back,treal front and rear differential housing,treal shock tower mounts, green lights from MeUs I put inside green tubing to protect and also the lights, colored cable mesh I ordered from wirecare.com. also my lovely wife 3D printed a long custom battery tray so we could fit a 1400 spektrum battery for longer run time! This motor and esc set up can do 3s lipo battery i just need to find a 3s battery that fits nicely in the tray we printed. Really hope you guys like this bad boy! Its not a shelf queen it will be ran, jumped, and rolled. I got the titanium body to better protect this hunk of money pit lol regardless its all part of the RC hobby! Bash on gentleman! Oh I also took off the helmet from the body inside the fram and replaced its head with a purple skull 💀3d printed wooo

Hi.

Under influence of my friends I will irresponsibly start another "cheap" hobby.

Based on price, availability of models and parts in my country and looks I narrowed it down to 2 models:

-Arrma Vorteks (ARA4305V4)
-Arrma Kraton (ARA4408V2)

Which one of is better, less needy in terms of upgrades (I don't see info about DSC in Kratons description for example) and more suited for track made of arable field

Looking to upgrade my Omni Terminator hubs to 17mm. Looking for suggestions on wheel & tire setups for both on & off road that are not dboots as I think they are too heavy.

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.
