Nice video adventure Kizwan, i love the tank view and the sound of it.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

2018 FPV project - K949/10428A
Sharing my latest project which i've completed this week. Pure scale FPV off-roader with Jeep Rubicon interior, pan servo support HD camera build-in race helmet, Latest unit (compact) ESS-ON (V8 + Turbo) for loud engine sound system, 2x manual transmission system build for hill climbing, custom build body panel, RC4G radio with internally boosted (internal switching). Will upload to my website gallery soon for detailed build preview. Today just made some long range test. Really happy with my build and planning to put some front and real light for night visibility. Video coming soon, make sure you have stereo speaker or good earphone. *Platform base on Vaterra Twin Hammer clone aka K949/10428A: https://www.gearbest.com/rc-cars/pp_373795....l?lkid=13220099

What do you call for moving the throttle stick up & down? Is it binding with receiver or arming the motor? Well I just learned that. Well for walkera devo 7 it is 1) throttle stick center, 2) throttle stick move right, 3) throttle stick center, 4) throttle stick all the way up and wait until a beep from receiver, 5) throttle stick all the way down and 6) throttle stick center. Last year all I wanted to do is testing gyro on my truck. I have a built-in gyro receiver from rc heli. Now I can test it (last night) but I ended up crashing my truck after a couple of minutes, loosing one screws that holding front right steering hub. I don't have spares unfortunately. While gyro works well, the servo is underpowered. Do any of these servos great for 1/10 truck?

Pic before disaster:-

Moving stick up and down is actualy throttle calibration. For servo i buy from www.banggood.com because it cheap, my high torque 20KG power metal gear servo only cost $10 and works awesome! I have used to have both SAVOX and HITEC but at the end that $10 cheap servo from banggod still more powerful and last longer. SAVOX is expensive and overated. Nowadays i don't rely on branded R/C part and etc. Buy cheap and quality parts, save money and expand hobby.

The Power HD servos right? They listed for USD22 (red) & USD30 (blue). What is the difference between red & blue servo?

BTW, can you recommend ESC+brushless motor combo for truck?

I'm not sure which red blue servo you refering too either soundlike from HK but actually all my trucks including my recent project using this $10 20kg torque power servo here: https://www.banggood.com/Towerpro-MG958-55g...6363706201312DW

Brushless combo for stock driving for truck usually best to use this one from HOBBY WING unit with 80A ESC and 2300KV for close to stock driving on every off-road without overheating. Like trail driving/sport class but not race class yet.

Thanks! I'll get them ASAP.

Just placed an order for these. Slightly different but these are available now. Hehe. The ESC is with 3100KV motor. Hopefully not too much for truck. Metal main gear not in stock unfortunately. Well, I'll replace after I stripped it.

If 3100KV too much for truck, I can put it in my buggy.

I think I almost got electrocuted. I want to re-solder a wire to a dean plug after I accidentally detached it somehow. I preheat the soldering iron for 2 minutes and afterward cleaning the tips by swiping the tips to a wet sponge. Then when I tried to touch the solder wire to the tips, my hand that holding the solder vibrate. It is not supposed to do that. I have solder many times before & this is the first time this is happened to me.

I know the feelings when high voltage (or is it current? Not really sure) go through my hands (I was standing on a cushion which may have save me?!) but this just vibrate.

If anyone have any ideas why, please share your thoughts. Thanks.

All I know I'm not going to do any soldering anytime soon. Scarry!


EDIT: It may just electrostatic discharge.
