Offshoot RC Models/Drone Hobby Thread

Only 9 seconds?

Remember I ran a professional Burnout Car for 6 years and could shred a set of brand new set of tyres in under 60 seconds! :flushed:

That’s a better amount of time to lay molten burning rubber and glowing red steel belts onto these types of people! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Good, I was giving you some leeway.

I fried a pair of front tyres on an Nissan Pulsar SR20. On dirt, well under a minute. It was great fun. Tried a 5.0 V8 Ford falcoon, that took more minutes but got there :rofl:

A new set on my old 318 cube 1968 ZB Fairlane I built would only last for under 60 seconds with the LSD Diff too!

Showed up many different model V8 powered FoulCoons on my Burnout Pad over the years. :flushed::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hhhhmmmmm…wots goin on ere guvna?

Maybe Doc had a build in mind when these parts were ordered, or is it just a coincidence that the scale size and colours match this particular vehicle?

It’s quite possible he may have ordered this particular vehicle to suit the build he had in mind from the very start.

Which came first, the Chicken or the egg?

Maybe he’s got some more parts to add to this build to come yet.

Maybe he’s gotten even more parts to add to these parts so that he can fit more parts to enable him to attach the rest of the parts to actually achieve his original build plan once the parts all arrive! :thinking:

Either way, something seems to be evolving into something here.

I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

BTW: How sweet is that ancient old SKD HK416 Box in the background! :hugs::cry:

That looks like a drag monster truck. What’s under the hood, big block brushless? :laughing:

Like the body detail on these things. Look really well done. :+1:

It’s not big block brushless “yet” :astonished:
Plenty go stupid stuff that I may or may not have already ordered as part of the plan for this build! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Certainly wanted one of the fleet to be a bit of a Hiroshima Screamer, and this poor thing drew the short straw as the model that I planned on building for such the task! :joy:

Haha “go stupid stuff” I like that one. :laughing:

So much for crawling :laughing: :+1:

Ever come across this carrier @DocBob :thinking:

yw56.com.cn

So far seems good, great tracking. Just got to jump on a plane atm. That’s for the lights you showed me.

Yes I have had them as the carrier on items I have ordered before and haven’t had any issues. :+1:

Looking a bit more “Australian” now! :australia::kangaroo:

Before…

After…

@DocBob but with RC instead. :joy:

Looking good. :+1:

Are they aftermarket bull bar and roof rack or came in the kit?

I watched this earlier :thinking: Hmm, maybe above my pay grade. :laughing: Plus I’ll be alloy chassis swap out. Might not be able to achieve such a thing. We’ll see.

Optional parts that come in the kit, along with a few other bits to make whatever style you are looking for. :+1:

Pretty cool video, not seen that one before, but shows what’s possible with a little imagination and how handy a 3D printer can be.:ok_hand:

Ah you ticked all the options check boxes :+1: :ok_hand:

When I see 4WD’s like these, I call them “BCF Catalogue Cars”. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Only missing the awnings, roof top tent, rod/shovel/Jerry can/highligft jack holders, 6 aerials, twin tyre carrier and a heap of shiny bits!:joy:

Changed the plans, leaving the White Wellbody Hilux as a standard looking replica and muck around with the more “modified” looking Tan Custom Trayback instead.

Removed the original 180 sized motor and tiny plastic gearbox for a 370 motor and Alloy reduction gearbox, along with swapping the old C-14 electronics for the latest C-64 modern board.

Unfortunately test driving it, power to motor keeps cutting out, so don’t know if it’s a brush issue and water breaking the motor might help out, swapping to larger capacitors on the board …or just fit it with all aftermarket RX/ESC gear and be done with it!:thinking:

Some of that morphing I mentioned happening here :+1:

I can’t think of anything you haven’t all ready mentioned. Maybe the esc just doesn’t have enough mumbo/ amperage.

Yeah for sure mate.
Expecting a stock 180 motor designed ESC to power a 370 motor under load is asking a lot! :flushed:

All cool that the suppliers will sell you these upgraded parts, but as we well know from the Gelbaster and vehicle industry, upgrading one part requires 10 other different parts to be changed to get that single part to work correctly with everything else! :roll_eyes::rofl:

This Tan C-14 certainly doesn’t look as “racy” as the white C-24 with the monster truck style wheels fitted, but definitely more suited for the Mad Max/Redneck Mud Bogger look I’m chasing for one of these smaller crawlers as a modded looking vehicle.

I’d be upgrading ESC if were me if everything else checks out.

Some of those types are only 15A Esc’s and the cutting out sounds like it’s hitting it’s limit.

With the bigger rims and tyres putting extra load on the drivetrain.

The Neebrc brushless outrunner combo I got for mine is 45A another reason I went for it, should be plenty plus only running near stock tyre/rim size. Well that’s the plan for now anyway :laughing:

Your advice duly noted mate, and today being payday…more RX/TX/ESC/Motor Combination kits and a few other goodies finally got to hit the “Buy Now” button in my very large shopping cart list! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Then start browsing further and having to show GREAT restraint until a few more parts arrive and can consolidate where I’m at in the plans for each vehicle before looking at further parts. :ok_hand:

Have got some upgraded 1500-1600mAh batteries that I was trying with these tyres, but can tell the stock electronics and steering servo just ain’t up to the task, so all the gear to upgrade everything is now on its way!

Modifying the White C-64 Dual Cab Hilux with the brushless system to fit/run my leftover TURNIGY 2S/3S AIRSOFT/Gelbaster batteries. :raised_hands:

PLENTY of grunt to run one of these vehicles all day long I reckon, unlike the stock Chinese 500mAh batteries these things are supplied with!
