Popular Post .AJ. Posted March 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2023 Setting up a new radio for the SCX6, was disappointed that the seller sent a v2 instead of a v3, but I’ve had a refund thats made it cheaper than any v2 on eBay. It would have been nice to have the extra channel of the v3, buts it’s not the end of the world… Dare I say it, but the tx has better functionality than my GT5, you can program the aux channels much better 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hyper7ftxoutlaw Posted March 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2023 Bought it! £40 and a 45 minute round trip in London so not too bad really 😁 I think it’s a (get ready for this catchy name) Kyosho Pureten alpha 2 with a gx12 engine. When I got it home I first thought the engine was locked, the carb was locked, the front diff was stripped and the servos were dead. Anyway, the engine was so gummed up with old jellied nitro that it wouldn’t budge and same for the carb. Copious amounts of degreaser and jiggling later, engine is free, smooth and the carb works perfectly. The engine even looks pretty un-run. The servos do work (with a charged battery 😂) and the diff issue was just a grubscrew. All in all a pretty good looking car that i hope to run this afternoon 🤞 Sorry for the long post 😁 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post totlxtc Posted March 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2023 No track time today as my little ones (not so little) 16th birthday. So just a little wrenching. Squished the Flysky RX into the receiver box along with the gyro. Off to have noodles now for dinner 🍲 And look!!! Its not an Xray! 🙄 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grogg Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Actually managed to achieve quite a lot since I last posted in here, lets see: Completed the mechanism deck, mounted the link mounts, mechanism deck and ladder frame to the rail mounts, upgraded the stabalisers from the stock ones included in the kit both front and rear from soft front hard rear to hard front very hard rear, both front and rear diifs didn't use any of the stock provided parts in the kit but instead hardened locked diffs and race sealed bearings, both front and rear drive shafts again I didn't use the stock one but a hardened steel one instead and sealed race bearings, both front and rear axle housings using sealed race bearings instead of the ones provided in the kit, front and rear suspension mounts, front and rear coil spring mounts, front and rear uprights using hardened steel axles and again not using the stock bearings from the kit but sealed race bearings instead again, centered and mounted the front and rear steering servos for 4 wheel steering and the front and rear turnbuckles, today I finally managed to get my Flysky GT5 to properly bind with the included Flysky receiver and setup 4 wheel steering - still can't figure out how to get it to bind with the receiver I want to use I can't find a manual for it anywhere if anybody knows how to get my receiver into bind mode I would really appreciate any help, and also updated the firmware on my Hobbywing ESC and played around with settings such as punch, drag break and a few others on my phone via the Hobbywing app and the Hobbywing OTA ESC card. I'm really starting to make a lot of progress very fast, well for me anyway. I've not used quite a lot of the stock parts included in the kit and quite a lot of after market upgrades and hop-ups both Tamiya ones and ones by 3rd parties already. I must say I'm really having a lot of fun building this RC car, a lot more fun that I ever thought I would, so much so that I'm considering buying another one to build, something like the TT-02Ssrx, TB EVO 8 or Schumacher Atom 3 GT12 s2, basically a rolling chassis that I can get a lot of different body shells for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross9999992 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 @Grogg I can’t seem to find any gt5’s that are compatible with the ant protocol, they all seem to just be flysky afhds or afhds 2a - seems it’s the g7p transmitter that supports the ant so you most likely can’t use that rx you linked unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ross9999992 Posted March 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2023 Not really done much in the way of 3D design before other than some simple bits and bobs as there’s usually a free file available somewhere but the outcast gave me the perfect opportunity…took a while but roof and bonnet skids designed from scratch. I’m happy with them - a few refinements to do before I print the next set after these get eaten away but all in all the shell should last a while longer now - yay 👍🏻 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrCake Posted March 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2023 A day off so finally got to test the Big Rock with the Typhon shocks, and new CNHL 8000mah battery. Very impressed with both items and unsurprisingly the run time was ages! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll soon find out, finally managed to get access to a manual, so once I figure out how to access the manual, I'll know how to put the receiver into bind mode, it does say that it ''uses the new AFHDS 2.4GHz ANT frequency technology'' and the Flysky GT5 says it's ''2.4GHz Protocol: AFHDS 2A''. The issue I've been having with the receiver is being able to put it into bind mode, it didn't come with a manual and I couldn't find one online, I had to email Absima directly to get hold of a manual, and they sent me a link to a online storsage thingy with what I guess will be a pdf version of the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my GT5 I made this error trying to bind an RX that worked off of AFHDS protocol, when I brought one that ran on the AFHDS 2A protocol worked fine. For binding, I'd guess that you need a plug bind plug into ch4 as there isn't a spare port for binding. it should have come with a little jump lead. If you are struggling to bind the RX it came with watch this video... Edited March 20, 2023 by Alex97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now got the transmitter to bind with the receiver it came with fine, even got 4 wheel steering all setup, I was just hoping to use the Asbima receiver as it has an internal antenna, so I won't have to put a hole in the body for one, nor have one of those plastic tube sticking out of my RC car. I have tried putting the jump cable into channel 4 to see if that would put the receiver into binding mode, but that doesn't do anything, and it turns out the link they sent me doesn't doesn't work, ot requires a password to view, witch they didn't give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a little heat to the antenna tube and bend it so it fits within the body. Job done. Obviously do not do it with the antenna in the tube.

Ross9999992 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 afhds, afhds 2a and afhds ANT - are 3 different protocols...gt5 supports afhds and/or afhds 2a - not ANT 1 hour ago, Grogg said: and the Flysky GT5 says it's ''2.4GHz Protocol: AFHDS 2A Yours seems to be specifically the 2a variant Oh and the actual antenna is literally just the last 32~ mm of the wire, the unshielded part - depending on the range you want to drive you may not even need to have that poking out of the rx box - worst case, 35mm antenna tube mounted under the shell vertically for best results...pointing up or down 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
