What’s your truck and motor mount set up?

No Idea about water instakes, I 3D printed them.

xsynatic · June 13, 2020, 12:45pm

I think its more about water getting inside?

brown5tick · June 13, 2020, 12:45pm

Classy job. Fair play.

Yep, just rit dye following the instructions on the bottle and the lovely write up by @Anubis. I doubled the dye because it’s such a dark color I wanted. Super easy process and no deformation.

Would recommend.

Some time ago I had seen a mesh that they put as ventilation and that the water did not pass but now I cannot find them, you know who sold them

Thanks dude.

Love when electronics doesn’t work right and you have no idea why

Jujo · June 14, 2020, 1:24am

Did you just take a still photo and added a blur effect? The front wheels blur is opposite of the direction

Venom121212 · June 14, 2020, 1:26am

You’re a blur

Dred · June 14, 2020, 2:04am

Dirty little secret this is a composite of two shots put of five attempts, the one with the better blur is the background I also dropped my remote in in the foreground shot which had a much faster shutter speed and didn’t look as exciting

I know its probably too late to change anything, but as a design choice wouldn’t a slidable switch be better? I just feel like a toggle button for your lights is something that could be easily hit while riding. Super cool to have that control in the remote though.

Edit: oh wait, is it a switch? I can’t see it clearly.

b264 · June 14, 2020, 2:36am

One of my Mini Remotes that I modified with a toggle switch for the power switch — I used a 3 position ON-OFF-ON toggle switch for this very reason. If you accidentally bump it while riding, it’s likely you’ll just turn it from “ON” to “ON”

T-Nomad · June 14, 2020, 2:39am

That’s awesome haha! Why did you go with that type of toggle? I’m realizing now that buttons/toggles might have better waterproofing options than switches as well.

Pedrodemio · June 14, 2020, 2:47am

That was my initial idea, but I didn’t have any in hand unfortunately, but in this place I never have my hand on while riding

Will change in the future so you can have more modes by using a number of presses

Now to troubleshoot why the hell the lights enter is party mode anytime the motor is on

CiscoV · June 14, 2020, 4:21am

Oh brother. She’s a beauty

wafflejock · June 14, 2020, 4:33am

You powering a buck converter for the lights off the main battery? Wonder if the buck is just drawing too much current when powering the lights is it an issue without remote control of the lights? Some caps on the power out to the lights might help to give them some buffer or more caps on the power into the esc so spikes don’t get into the power system so much (do this with quads to clean up the power if getting crappy video signal cause of dirty power going into vtx and/or camera)

@DerelictRobot how do you like those trucks any difference with matrix II?

DerelictRobot · June 14, 2020, 5:11am

Well, ask me in a few weeks when I’ve got some decent mileage under my belt.

But if they don’t break under normal use they’re already ahead in my books.
