What brushless motor combo now days
tim.senecal replied to AndyjcClod's topic in General discussions
I bought it specifically because it is 1200kv... i do not want a Blackfoot that screams down the road at 30mph. there are other models of the QuicRun Fusion SE that run at higher KV. (1800kv and 2300kv) -

tim.senecal replied to AndyjcClod's topic in General discussions
sorry, kind of missed the point... BUT... with the luck i have had with 3 of the Tamiya brushless ESCs dying on me, i don't use Tamiya brushless ESCs anymore. I recently installed a Hobbywing QuicRun Fusion SE 1200kv combo unit in my OG Blackfoot. Have not taken it out yet to see how well it works. -
Kenworth K100 single axle day cab

thanks everyone... i know i went radio silent there for a bit, but it took a while to figure out the landing legs in a way that i liked. -

Kenworth K100 single axle day cab
tim.senecal replied to tim.senecal's topic in Big Rigs and Scale Armour
I am calling this finished. I finally figured out how to make the landing legs on the trailers work, got everything painted, added the few remaining decals, and checked that everything still works. -
There is a nice gentleman on Shapeways that makes some killer scale parts for these. I love mine. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/3dcooking i also bought machined aluminum 5 spoke wheels and chrome metal front and rear bumpers to match the box art.

It isn't Tamiya, it isn't a car... but it is R/C, and it is my birthday present for this year, it arrived in the mail today, all the way from britain. Don't expect it to be built any time soon.

I notice in the photo you posted of its guts, it still has the mechanical speed control as well... -
Reminds me of Tamiya...
tim.senecal replied to Saito2's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
based on the statements that both Saito2 and bRIBEGuy said regarding Traxxas' policies, I had to research what all that meant... Having read up on it, i don't think i will ever buy any Traxxas merchandise. -

tim.senecal replied to Saito2's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
Saito, i did not take it that way at all... i simply wanted to let the viewers of this thread know that Traxxas had already tried to make a "Monster Truck", and it was a bad try. I do agree that the TRX-4 is a much better looking vehicle, but like most people here, i buy the Tamiya products primarily because i like building kits. on a side note, i would not be the least bit surprised if the TRX-4 f150 body is the same as the one used for the Bigfoot. -

https://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/36034-61bigfoot-classic and no, i don't think they knocked it out of the park... it is a two wheel drive blashpemy based on what i think is a stampede chassis. BLECH -
Kenworth W924 log truck scale build
tim.senecal replied to Beetlemankurt's topic in Big Rigs and Scale Armour
Its all about re-use. they now have a dozen different cabs on basically the same chassis. just like the OG ford f150 and blazing blazer... instead of creating a real truck chassis, they put them on the same chassis as the sand scorcher -
I built one of these in 2018... i like the repsol colors, so i made my own stickers, but the major colors (blue and orange) are actually paint. I built it bone stock other than the paint job. i did use the same quicrun mini esc that you are using... i do not remember what steering servo i used, but i can check and see if i can figure it out if you would like to know. i also remember that i am using a tactic micro 2 channel receiver, and a 1300 mah 2s lipo.

Kenworth W924 log truck scale build
tim.senecal replied to Beetlemankurt's topic in Big Rigs and Scale Armour
to be brutally honest, i wish i had just bought a set of the shortest blank frame rails i could find, cut them to the right length, and drilled all new holes. except that is 20-20 hindsight. i had no idea what i was doing to start with, so i realized this about halfway through getting the front axle re-aligned. there are a whole lot of holes in the frames now that don't need to be there.
