OHO's Axial SCX10 Jeep Wrangler G6.

[Geeze]

That's a nice simple fix!

Will be making time Saturday to go get one then

[Oh How Original]

I can't fault them personally, I had one in my D90 which is still going strong in the hands of our resident Wookie.

One is running beautifully in this SCX10 and I've got one on standby for my next project which with any luck should arrive Tuesday.

[Geeze]

That's a good endorsement and good to hear

Going trail spec and back to brushed on my youngests mini grave digger so need it to work well enough that she will enjoy it but keep it affordable in case it turns out to be a passing fad. Using a surplus 20t axial motor so your experiences had me worried my plan wasn't going to work!

[Oh How Original]

Nope it'll be perfect, simple plug and play jobby, just make sure if you swap between LiPo and Ni-MH that the battery plug is in the correct port and don't lose the other plug in case you ever come to sell it lol... I've already lost mine

Had this out with the Scout today, wanted to get a bit of footage, so we did, nothing amazing, but I'm sure we'll get some better stuff as time goes on and whatnot, also got a few pictures but I will upload it all together shortly.

Just trying to edit the clips to put them together.

[Oh How Original]

Here's some pictures and video from the outing today anyway... Not amazing, but first attempt.

Plus it was really cold and pretty windy so had to be careful were I set the camera up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And my overall personal favourite of this RC.

 

 

And here's a bit of footage, hope you like

I've got one waiting to go in the Wraith. I liked it so much in the D90 I had to get another one. 

[Oh How Original]

They are a very good ESC.

IMO, can't be beaten for the money.

Testing mine out today in terms of drag brake and it is exactly what I want

[Gaz!]

Hey dan, how come you sold off the winch etc. if you don't mind me asking?

I was getting really annoying at trying to hold my tx, and the winch controller and climb up a hill lol.

Fell flat on my arse about 4 times.

Going to go for a 3rd channel jobby and switch to the DX3C tx within the near future

[Gaz!]

Ahh right, I follow now, yeah much easier having it working on the tx....

Must say though, it's a nice bit of kit....

[Oh How Original]

Indeed, the winch is lovely, really smooth and bags of pulling power.

I was just looking at DX4S's and the prices seemed quite high, so went with the DX3C but ended up with two of them, so might get shot of one and put the extra to it for a DX4S as I've got my lights I need to operate on the 3rd channel as well and a plug for my BEC, so not sure how I will do it!

[Gaz!]

Had spektrum for years now and the dx4s is by far the best I've had, especially with the scalers being 4 channel....., was a great move by spektrum doing this.

Yep, my 90 has the four channel receiver and for bec, winch, servo and throttle it's a big help having the extra slots....

Another mate of mine has just bought the rtr version of yours and I'm going out for a play with it and him shortly, he is like a big kid and nearly 50 lmao....

[Oh How Original]

We're all kids at heart, or rather I like to believe.

Can you tell me though Gaz, does the DX4S'sreceiver have 4 slots or 5?

I know it's 4 channel but theirs often an extra one (which is were I could run my BEC from)

As I'm thinking I'll need 5 slots.

Steering, ESC, winch, lights, BEC.

[chewbacca]

"I know what you're thinking, 'Did he use six slots or only five?'" If Dirty Harry ran scalers

The SR410 has 5 slots. STR, THR, AUX1, AUX2 & BND

Okay so another question, hopefully someone knows, can I use the bind port for a BEC?

Or is that going to cause issues with signal and potential unbinding and such?

Reason I ask is my 3rd channel on my current rx is also the bind port, so I know it's safe to use, but not sure about a port that's solely used for binding?

If I can, then the DX4S it shall be, once my wallet's recovered from these two boxes of goodness I have coming.

[Leo]

No reason why you can't use the BEC in the Bind port. I've used it for powering LEDS and I use it for my batteries on the large scales

[Oh How Original]

Superb, cheers Leo, much appreciate the info!

Is it the DX4S that the OrangeRX don't work with by the way?

I remember someone saying they don't work with one of them, can't remember which it was.

[Leo]

It depends on the firmware installed. If it's V1.2 they won't bind. 

[Oh How Original]

Ahhh, so if I buy it with V1.2 is it possible to go back to an older one or?

I don't mind too much I suppose, but at

[Leo]

You can downgrade but they still won't work.

It does get expensive, the DX4S has a 30 model memory, so to buy 28 rx's (there's 2 included with the DX4S) @

[Oh How Original]

2 included? I've only found a listing with one included and it's

Hmmm, bit steep, simply as I don't need two rx's straight away... In fact I'd only ever need one... Is it worth it lol.
