  1. They're experimenting with in-wheel motors now.

    ...in tenth scale RC cars...

    Wow.

  3. TIL Don‘t try to solder „thick“ RC battery wires together to change the plug on a battery. It. Just. Gets. Ugly. (And takes ages.)

    Simply order plain plugs, don‘t repurpose adapters with wires on them. I hope these abominations don‘t introduce too much resistance now… 🙄

  5. So this is pretty cool. Getting back into #rccars has been a lot of fun and I was out near Red Rocks here in Colorado with a friend doing some rc overlanding. My friend has the Traxxas TRX4 Nissan Pathfinder, a very nice and capable truck, and I have my crappy "Legendary Grando" I got from meh.com a few weeks ago. It has a few minor upgrades on it to make it a little less crappy haha.

  7. Finally emptied the rear tyres onto the floor. Maybe it‘ll run a little smoother again now. 🙃

  8. What’s this? A post? I’ve been so busy with moving to Colorado from California I’ve just not had much time for projects and that’s what I like to post about the most. Well today the movers arrived and oh I have so many boxes to unpack and move and man. Just too much.

    But I also got an 8th scale buggy kit that I’m really excited to build. This is the kit and some of the parts needed to build it. It’s a Tekno EB48 2.2. #rccar #rccars

  10. Well I guess I’m really in for it now. Picked up a new Spektrum radio. These radios can basically do all of the Horizon Hobby vehicles plus any regular Spektrum receivers.

    Spent last night configuring the radio for my Arrma Kraton Mini and my oooold Traxxas Slash LCG RWD short course truck. Slash had to get a new receiver since the one it had was for a different radio system.

    I also improved the geometry of the front end of the Slash and while working on it, remembering how much I used to love@this hobby. But I also wanna keep it simple.

  11. Hi Fediverse!

    I've started doing some, er, questionable modifications to toys and RC cars.

    I just posted the second one, where I cram the biggest 1S Lipo battery I can find into a small RC car, to YouTube here: https://youtu.be/j8_uTdA7Db8?si=oVrT0SKnWMPwXUpI
    Yeah, I will get a Peertube instance up and running eventually, but the box my GotoSocial instance is on is already running low on memory...

    Any ideas for future projects? I plan on winterizing an RC car (with big paddle tires and a sealed body), adding 3D printed tank tracks to the toy in the video, adding cameras to some RC cars, and adding a far-too-powerful brushless motor to my 1994 Tamiya rally car too (and setting up Peertube, and upgrading GotoSocial from v19), but other suggestions are appreciated!

  13. Updating my very old #tamiya #ta02 to using modern components.

    Changing out the AM receiver for a new #elrs one. It is crazy how small the new digital hardware is.

    Next up, replacing the old mechanical speed controller with an electronic one.

  15. I posted a couple of new 3D models today. A vertical holder for an M5Stack Atom Lite, and a parametric modular ramp for RC cars. You can download them for free from my Maker World profile - makerworld.com/en/@sylumer

  17. Looking to upgrade my small parts trays I use for #RCCars, model building, #3dPrinting, repairing devices, etc.

    Browsing the usual model websites doesn’t show anything compelling that is #Gridfinity based and a handy parts tray. They all seem cobbled together with little thought or proper construction. Some even slapped some gridfinity bottoms on an existing model that doesn’t really fit the 42mm universe.

    What Gridfinity parts trays are you using, and what do like about them in particular?

  19. Fun with #RCCars:
    I found an old TL-01 chassis from Tamiya in the trash a while ago and today I finally have time to completely disassemble & clean it…

    Normal things to do at an Easter Sunday. 😅

  20. 20 hour print. Ran out of blue filament with 35 minutes remaining and had to switch to black. 🤦‍♂️ #3Dprinting #RCcars

  22. This is probably a long shot, but I’ve recently gotten back into RC cars and I’m wondering if there’s any other RC gearheads on here.

    For attention: a video of my FMS Hobbies FCX18 Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne in Red and White in slow-motion.

  24. Dusted off my #Tamiya #RCCrawler this weekend. My landlord left rocks outside after a wall was built—perfect for crawling!

    The Kamtec Land Rover LWB pickup shell is all beat up, tyres are coming off, and the center of gravity is too high for rock crawling. But it was fun for half an hour.

    I dug up old photos to see how it used to look and found this buried on Flickr.

    Taken in 2007—almost 18 years ago. But it feels even longer!

  25. Would you like to tidy up your #Tamiya #RCCars battery storage?

    I just published my #Gridfinity Racing-Pack storage bin. It is compatible with most of the popular plugs used for that kind of rechargeable battery.

    Like most of my #3dprinting objects, this one also includes the full #OpenSCAD source so you can modify it to your specific needs.

  26. One of my #RCCars is an #Axial crawler, an #SCX10 III to be exact. I really like the precise way it drives. Even though it's infamous for having leaky shocks. Like, *really* leaky.

    I thought I could remedy the problem with #3Dprinting my own replacement o-ring spacers. It's a simple modification, but so far, my modded shocks have been tight for the last two weeks.

    I'll be keeping an eye out for future spills. Does this shock-fix work on your crawler, as well?
