    minion 220 camera quad build

    Pics coming soon. Decided to improve the tricopter frame so built another but neater. Awaiting new ESC's and a servo to complete. Then transfer the FC over. Incidentally, I'm using the HK Pilot Mega 2.7 with UBLOX 7M GPS/Compass from HbbyKing....and so far it's working pretty damn good! Once I...

    savage reverse gear

    Same here. I have one which came with the Savage X I got used. Was never installed and is still not installed. Adds weight, adds more mechanical issues. And from what I read so far,...not favourable. Maybe I'll make a winch or something out of it..lol!

    hpi 79 ford

    Very well done! Great to see simple designs that have this much appeal compared to the newer sporty paint splatter ones! Love it!

    Carbs

    Cool...now I know the sizes! Thanks for the heads up guys! Yeah...the shop should have no issues to swap.

    Carbs

    does it fit? If it does it should work? Not much of any serious diff between the two apart from the Mid Range adjustment on the K. The F carb don't have that. If it fits, put some RTV sealant around it and tighten!

    Savage x 4.6 problems

    Taz! You will be swapping and changing out more parts once you get her running! As X said, do the swap and test. I had a throttle servo die on me just the next day after I tested the truck on the bench and all was working well. Servos can just go out on you when they feel like it.

    bottom plate for the savage x4.6

    I need to get one soon. I have one on the Flux. The X4.6 is a piece of Coroplast cable tied on. Works so far...lol!

    Hi to all new on here with a savage 21bb/3.5 need help

    Agree with the starting all over again with stock settings! I started with Sidewinder and had to switch to Byron. Threw everything off!! Reset and did the basics again. It all may seem a hassle to some....but the more you fiddle, the more you get to know your truck and tuning a nitro engine!

    Dodgy Steering

    Dodgy Steering

    The battery box helps protect it and prevents it from getting punctured during a bad crash and from flopping around when you do jumps Only thing I can think off if you wish to leave the battery in there to charge is to do a mod where you have the connector mounted thru the cover where you can...

    receiver hump pack (LiPo)

    If your using a LiPo anywhere I would put a LiPo Alarm as it's a perfect way to tell when the LiPo is running out of juice preventing LiPo damage. Unless you use telemetry then you can get read-outs on your TX or if you fly muti rotors, on screen. One thing I have learnt...(don't ask why) is to...

    Dodgy Steering

    Never used one of those...then again...I think I never used the same brand truck and battery ever...lol! Even with my planes. I use a NOSRAM 5000 NiMH hump with no issues. But I think the hpi one should be ok...

    savage x k4.6 rebuild

    Considering the price and great reviews of the LRP.28, I would buy that and swap. Even if you swap out a new piston you would have to do some form of non stressed break in for the new parts. I wouldn't run it flat out straight away.

    SOS hpi Savage X refuses to start !?!

    I've used the paper method for my buggies, my savages and other electric trucks...no worries. With new gears, they get worn down a little till they fit nicely.

    minion 220 camera quad build

    Will update rcnut! So far it flew well on the Kk2 for starters. Now getting my head around the APM2.5 and it's calibration detail. So far, it's easy once you start to fool with it in Mission Planner. That and reading, reading, searching, searching, trying and trying. Finally got my compass to...

    minion 220 camera quad build

    When the multirotor bug hit me some time back...I did build a quad out of basswood and ply running an old kk+ FC. Worked well and learned alot. I ended up with a tri as I wanted to be different?..LOL! Besides I like the looks of it and it flies more like a plane then a pivotal quad on turns. So...

    minion 220 camera quad build

    Nice looking frame rcnut! Will be a nice sport flyer or small video rig. You putting the naze or kk2 in there? I've almost completed 2 RCExplorer tricopters. One is for a buddy and the other my number 4 tricopter. I have a 450 size quad....but most are always scratchbuilt. It's so much cheaper...
