Manxman Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Didn't even started yet as I'm entangled with another build which takes forever. I'm on the look up for motor now and can't find 20T so will most likely go for something like 17T. I just need to find a compromise between speed and torque.

After rethinking and probably over thinking I will stay with 2s battery for this truck so I can have interchangeable batteriers between Blazer and my Jeep which runs on 2s now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Two waterproof servos just ordered from Banggood. They had great reviews so hopefully they will be fine. Motor wise I went for this https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/absima-thrust-eco-electric-motor-18t-381546 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) If anyone could suggest a decent 4 channel transmitter that doesn't brake the bank that will be great. I was hoping for flysky but I can only see 3 channel options unfortunately... Or is it possible to connect lights without using separate channel? I'm hopeless with electronics.

Lights can plus straight into the bat/aux input, on the receiver. So, they don't take up a channel. This is what I've done. However, this is only if you wish them to be always on (unless you unplug, of course). If you want it transmitter-selectable, you'll need another channel.

I will need more channels then as I want to be able to switch them on and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 If you've been looking at flysky they have the GT5 which is (confusingly given the model name) a 6 channel transmitter. I've got one and have been pretty happy with it: https://www.flysky-cn.com/gt5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomr Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I’ve watched loads of YouTube vids on the Gom and most reckon it’s a fantastic rock crawler, not sure how much actual crawling I’ll do with it but seeing as it has a 2 speed it should be a fun rig. I’m waiting on a phone call from the vets (should be tomorrow) for test results for my dog, if she gets the all clear I think I’ll order the plus kit 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
