[can i use this to run a truck / tank?]

I have the same radio I one of my
trucks 40 MHz

 

 

As long as the receiver is on
40MHz you can assume the RC is fine and bought from modelsport you hopefully
won’t have any issues

 

 

As for the instruction there based
on Aircraft as most the features of this system aren’t much use on ground stuff
but I find its good for my boats and looks a badword of a lot better than basic
units (more bling)

[can i use this to run a truck / tank?]

If is says airplane use only
(assuming your in the UK) it’s probably on 35 MHz  which wouldn’t stop it working but wouldn’t be
allowed as 35Mhz in the UK is meant for Air vehicles only (could cause some serious
accidents for model Aircraft users)

 

 

You would need 27 MHz or 40 MHz
for land or water based vehicles (UK)

 

 

Frequency’s are different depending
what part of the world your in though

I used Pactra Metallic Blue on the
Porsche Boxter and it came out nice
 
Might be worth a try on the MX5 

[Build help (1/14th rig)]

Not sure if it helps but I have
done a fair bit of scratch building for boats over the years and find photos of
the real thing to be the best help as few people know what they should look like
anyway.

 

Don’t know if you have seen it but
there was a book out in late 80’s early 90,s I think it was Billards or Bzzars wooden
toys and he had full plans for making a wooden American rig might be worth a look

I also found this website which has
loads of photos of model and real trucks could be worth a look

Hope its of some use

Nice job

Did you just mask it off or did
you strip it down for paint?

[New Knight hauler colour????]

Hi all so chuffed with myself

I’m getting a Knight hauler
(hopefully here for Christmas) not tole the other half yet [:#]

so what’s a good colour as I’ve done my Aeromax
Dark red and I’ve done Metallic blue before on my 1850L

 Any help appreciated[]

[Ok call me stupid but could you explain the Motor turn thing]

Excellent new I was think in place
of buying a few small ESC’s for thing I would be better investing in one high
spec unit that will work for loads

 

So I’ll probably just get something that has as low a turn limit as I can
afford I’ve seen the MTRONIKS SONIK4 SPORT RV MAX ESC and its rated down
to 8 turn so should cope with my stuff and won’t brake the bank

TXT-1

Ford
Aeromax

F350

Thanks

[Ok call me stupid but could you explain the Motor turn thing]

So let me see if I have this right

TXT-1 should have 2 27turn motors as supplied
with kit running then of one battery would make them equivalent to a 13.5turn

So a speed control rated down to
12 or below should be fine?

 

 

I assume the amp rating of the
battery is little concern as that equates more to run time?

[Ok call me stupid but could you explain the Motor turn thing]

So I’m used to the idea of a motor
drawing a current and the speed control needing to able to cope with that
current e.g. model boat using 5a at the motor but speed control being able to
run up to 15a

So what is with car esc correct me
if I’m wrong but the less turn the controller can cope with basically means the
more amps it can cope?

So as a bench mark how many turn
is a normal 540 in say a TT01 chassis

 

Thanks in advance ( and please be
gentle) [:$]

[Ok I'm on a buget with a F350]

Hi thanks for the reply MB

Do you have a link to where you baought the ESC from as £27 is a great price 

[Ok I'm on a buget with a F350]

 

So basically I’m getting a F350
for Christmas (can’t wait) well I know its here somewhere just well hidden

 

Anyway I will probably get the MFU
as and when but I would like to see it up and running over the holidays as such
want the get a cheap speed controller for it.

It will never see much use more
just for showing it works so something that does the job is all

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

[Tamiya knight hauler price advice]

Thanks

for the advice Stefan

I already

have The Aeromax but just as a static display for now & I have got myself

the tank trailer for Xmas  

 

The knight hauler I'm looking at

is complete with the MFU and has a futaba 4ex radio and the container trailer so

all in its just about everything in one easy bundle the only real down side is

someone else has already had the fun of building it :-(

As you

say if I do get it I would need to strip it 1st to check all is well

And the

bloke is looking for £450 so I think I could get it play with it and sell it in

12 mths and still not lose anything 

[Tamiya knight hauler price advice]

Thanks Stefan

The One I'm looking at has the MFU and full 4ch radio the owner hasn't painted it or put the decals on so its almost as new  

[Tamiya knight hauler price advice]

Hi All

 

I'm new to here so be gentle

What would be a fair price for a 2nd knight hauler with radio and trailer?

I know to buy all the bits would cost about £700 but whats a fair 2nd hand price? 

 

Sorry forgot to say I'm looking at buying not selling
