Orlandoo Hunter OH32XO2 Trophy Truck Build

[Ag100]

Started the build on this today, incredibly detailed, really well designed, but very fiddly, absolutely tiny parts and screws, not helped by me having a tremor in my hands (Essential Tremor). So far enjoying it, a real challenge.

[Stormbringer]

looking really detailed now mate 

[Bajadre]

man those shocks are tiny and cute haha u must have great eyes brother 😁interior looks fantastic!!

[Alex97]

Either the shocks are really small or your using bolt cutters!

Will get a shot next to the Lasernut, that will be a good size comparison 

[Fat Freddy]

I’m thinking about getting one of these in a couple of months. Will be interested to see how it goes together. 👍

It was your jeep build that put me onto these, great little kits, just waiting on the servo and batteries to come.

[Ag100]

A bit more done, fitted the metal panels to the roll cage, fitted the front suspension and mounted the motor in the gearbox mount, this really is a great little thing to build.

[Stormbringer]

It does look a fantastic wee truck 

[Ag100]

Electronic tested and calibrated, I have the Furitek Lizard Esc (with Bluetooth module), Furitek Nano Rocket Brushless motor, Das Micro Sanwa micro receiver, then fitted to the electronics tray.

[Ag100]

Rear shocks fitted and built up rear axle and drive shaft and all fitted to the truck now.

[Ag100]

Starting to look like a truck now, one hitch, got a servo but it’s just too big, even after taking the dremel to it, so need to find one that fits, but with metal gears, as I have read that the stock Orlandoo one strips easily (no servo saver on these).

Ooooh! You’ve gone brushless! No rush, not getting mine til April but I WILL be asking you where you got this from and what electronics you are using?

EDIT

Lol, I should have read further down before replying🤣

Yes, need to a bit more research, have asked on one of the Facebook groups, will see what others have used, don’t really want to chop the chassis .

[Ag100]

This is the size I need, can’t seem to find anything suitable.

 

16 X 8.2 X 16.5mm

[Stormbringer]

wow thats really small servo 

The trucks really looking good tho mate 

[Alex97]

That's awesome, I wish they made more 1/10 trophy trucks and this little one looks so cool.

Yes, a 1/10 in full kit form would be great, the suspension on this is great, so on a bigger truck would be really good.

[MrCake]

That looks so good!  My eyes arent good enough to make something that small so would echo them making this 1:12 or larger!

Do you have ANY wriggle room on those servo dimensions? Or is this just the same size as you already have?

 

Edit: that link is huge!

There’s some self interest here.  If it works for you, it’ll work for me 😉👍

Happy to be the Guinea pig, I also have a servo saver coming that someone in the states has made himself, so will let you know on that too👍
