Carnage with FPV today was really good fun. This was actually a trial to test the setup before putting it on my plane but it is so much fun I will definitely be doing this again!

That looks fast. I ended up getting the FT011 for £80 and its so much fun. Only 4S - i doubt very much it will be capable of 6S without an ESC upgrade. The FT011 is really fast but i would like it to go faster Ringo

Thanks for the headsup. In that case, if i can't re-use the receivers then i don't need to commit to a spektrum brand. I'll have a look for a cheap multi model transmitter... Thanks, Ringo

Hi all, I am thinking of getting a DX3s as i am fed up with having loads of controllers for my cars and boats. Currently, for my boat projects, i am using my T-Six orange receive transmitter. However, my kids can't get on with it so i would like to change to a trigger system. I currently have a few spare spektrum 6 channel receivers (DSM2) from my planes - can these be bound with a DX3s? Clearly i would only have 3 channels... Anyone tried it? Thanks in advance, Ringo

How much for the FrSky X8R posted? Thanks, Ringo

Thanks all! This is good news as its perfect to go in my transmitter... Ringo

It feels a bit squishy but I've never experienced this before so I don't know if this is dangerous! I appreciate any help. Thanks, Ringo

Yes - very happy with MS for sorting it out thats for sure. I was getting a bit frustrated so asked for my money back lol! Ringo

Still no steering linkages in stock even though CML said 3rd March. I got a bit fed up so emailed MS. They in turn got in touch with CML who took off a steering linkage from a new model and sent me it. So now i'm back in action!

I saw this mod mentioned before (probably by you Chewy) and having lost a few dogbones i now understand why this is a great idea. Did you just fit the front CVD's onto the rear? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/ftx-carnage-front-cvd-2-carnage/rc-car-products/365847 Thanks, Ringo

Mine look higher than yours which suggests they are different? Are yours for a Carnage? Ringo

Rear....

You can see with mine there is loads more height (and width?) for the posts... Ringo

Those carbon shock towers look wrong to me. No wonder you are struggling.

What a shame. I know this isn't helpful but maybe now is the time to fit another ESC ?
