Hi ALL 

 

TIME 4 Part TWO :)

 

My all time Favorite RC Car,  How you get one self.

How much money you need spend, How to take care of it.

I try write about everything about these and specially this Rig

In 4 different parts.

 

Okey here goes part 2 of 4

 

🤞

 

There is also couple more cheap beginner friendly radios, even some pros like them, like me.

Dumbo 6ch with gyro is one.
This you can find at Banggood.com cheap. Like 29euro with receiver.  Extra Receivers are only like 11euro pc.
This radio have long range, and it handles quick and good your RC Cars.

 

Another cheap Radio system that works well is Flysky FS-GT3B 2.4GHZ.  These goes for like 40-50euros.
Extra receivers only 12-13 euros pc.
This is also one Digital radio,  it have memory for settings to 10 rc models. It have also ABS Brake functions and so on.

 

If you want go with very good Digital radio systems
there is : 

SPEKTRUM DX5C SMART 5ch DSMR 2.4 GHz -  This is middle class and goes for about 160 euros with AVC Smart receiver.
Extra Receivers coast about 80-90 euros each.

 

FUTABA - 3PV 2.4GHZ FHSS/S-FHSS with R203GF receiver is one good midle class radio too
Extra receivers 3ch about 40-50 euros.    2ch only 25-30 euros

Then there is some Pro and Racer Pro radios also.

 

PRO-Basher radios digital, more advanced onces:

 Futaba 4PM 4-Channel 2.4GHz T-FHSS Radio System w/R304SB , this is one Amazing radio system.

 

Also the Spektrum DX5 Pro 5-Channel DSMR Transmitter with SR2100 Receiver are very nice.  

They have drop one new version of this now 2021 version DX5 PRO 5ch is out there in Hobby Stores now.

 

Enough about Radiosystems now :)

STEERING SERVO:

This is one important thing when you have one fast big rc car.
You want one very good strong , fast, waterproof one.

Go with one Digital standart size Digital one,  

That got Minium 25kg power,  Buy one high voltage one.
Buy one Servo that is priced minium  40-50 euros or more.
It is well worth buy one very good Servo actually.

 

Great servos to this rig less than 100euro each i recommend are:

SRT RC W35 , this is one waterproof digital servo, high voltage.
Specs:
(6,0 v): 0,15 sec  -  25,0 kg.cm (347,2 oz / in)
(7,4 v): 0,12 sek  -  30,0 kg. cm (416,6 oz / inc)
(8,4 v): 0,10 sek / 60  - 35,0 kg.cm (486,1 oz / in)
This Servo goes for 50-55 euros

 

Another great Servo is the:
OMG32 Brushless Servo
Digital Waterproof IP67 
6.0V 35kg/0.085sec
7.4V 36kg/0.078sec
8.4V 37kg/0.075sec
This servo goes for 55-65 euros

There is many great Servos today less than 70 euros.
Todays you dont need buy the 120+ Euro servos anymore for Hard and great Bashing.

BATTERY:  LIPO´S  i like.

 

Budget 3-4s Lipos that works well are Zop Power , these are dirt cheap at Banggood.com
Make sure you have atleast 65c rate  and minium 5000mah.   I recommend 6000mah 4s  or 7000mah in 3s to this rig.
Important thing is they are atleast 65c rated.

At banggood.com you can also find:

URUAV GRAPHENE 100C lipos,  these are very good.
Orange colored. pretty good prices also.  

You must in most cases solder own connectors like EC5 or XT90s  to these lipos from Banggood.
This is easy done,  go check at youtube how to solder lipo connectors properly first. 

 

If you like lipos already with the right connector you will find them too if you like to avoid soldering self.

What connector types is best?

You need atleast XT90 connectors.  These handle 90amps constantly
IC5/EC5 handle 100-120amp constantly
XT150 and 6.5mm bullet handle about 150amps constantly
 

There is also EC8 and 8mm Bullet connectors that handle 200amps.   Well these are overkill.    

You need them only if you go speedrunning for 100mph +

 

One final tip about lipos is:  PLEASE !! Charge them slowly with low amp´s on the charger. Please !!!
Never hurry,  go max 3amps.  WHY?   Because your Lipos last and gives you alot extra runs / better life time, If you not stress charge them !!!

 

Example:
If you charge them at 10amps they will have only about 75 runs.
If you charge slow at 2amps, they will last you about 150 runs.
Better have more lipos and slow charge them only.  
Have like 6pc-lipos, slow charge them only, this is much better than have only 2packs that you need speed charge often maybe days you like drive 4-5 packs maybe 

 

Well i stop here for now. 👍

 

Part 3 will come, i will take the last things then,  next weekend.
I will talk about  Service / maintaince you need do, How to protect and clean your rig,  i will also talk about gearing,  
pinions, and how to make right GearMesh , info about cooling fans, and other important
good to know things. will come in part 3 next weekend :)

 

I believe i need make one more part of this,  the nr 4 also , the finals, talk about Programming the  ESC right,  

ESC-Punch Settings, Bearings , How to set turning ratio right
and couple more things. :)

 

See ya next weekend here :)
