museguy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Hi All, Happy New Year ! I have gotten the RC bug ! August 15th 2021 I was at a local park and they were having an RC car race, knowing nothing I thought "looks fun and good hobby during COVID-19" and started doing research. Searching on "RC" quickly started finding cars, and quadcopters. Took a long time to start to understand the vocabulary LiPo, ESC, mah, brushless, FPV, KV. Literally spent the first week just understanding the vocabulary. Before August 15, 2021, I knew next to nothing about Radio Control (RC) cars or quadcopters. I have found a few forums that I like; https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/ and https://intofpv.com/ and https://www.rctech.net/forum/. Very nice communities of people ! I am 57 and fun for me to start to learn something completely new. I am from the USA and living in Mexico City during COVID-19, have found RC a great hobby during COID-19 although shipping has been a challenge. To be honest I enjoy the building more than the driving, fun for me to research equipment and building. So far; Cars (Flysky FS-GT5 Transmitter😞 TT-02 1999 Subaru Monte Carlo - Loved the build ! WL Toys 124019 with brushless motor - Enjoy testing and speed runs XQ2S - Waiting for parts to start building MST RMX - Have ordered waiting on parts (https://supergdrift.com/store/so-you-want-to-start-rc-drifting-2/ Super-G R/C Drift Arena blog has been great for learning about RC drift) Quadcopters (Jumper T Lite Transmitter) : Mobula6 - Need to practice more Tinyhawk S - Fun for flying in the house Tello - Enjoyed learning about DJI technology Battery Charger HOTA D6 Pro Smart Charger I found https://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/ forum looking for chassis information about building an inexpensive Speed Car, will post a seperate thread. Cheers ! Wish List: Speed Car Flywoo LR V2 GepRC Phantom LC Racing LC1085 ($319) WL Toys 104001 (I love playing with the 124019) ELRS for Jumper T Edited January 25, 2022 by museguy added link 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you changed your gearing ? I have a 124019 and have upgraded to brushless and would like to learn more about changing the gearing. I believe the stock gearing is 44T and 27T, I have tried to follow the QuadifyRC Ultimate Brushless upgrade Guide brought the 15T pinion gear.
