NOFX

Does anyone know where I can buy a couple of micro servos from? The ones I'm after need to be 16mmx15mmx8mm & have a proper servo plug on them with short leads. They're for a pair of Orlandoo xo1s. Tia 😊

Finished the Xo1 . Well, I've finished the construction part, I've just got to get the electrics in. Should be done by tomorrow evening 😊

Fitted the body panels to the Xo1 . My gods they're a pain in the arse 😩. Nearly finished it though ☺️

I used the stock ESC ( you can get them from hobbyking cheaper) & a decased turbo racing Rx. If you're on Facebook, have a look at the Orlandoo builders guild ,& micro RC pages. 😊

Made wheel weights for the Orlandoo shogun & fitted them. Made a weight to go on the servo too. It's climbing better now 😊

Some people have put brushless combos in them. I've only used the electrics from tiny4x4. But they stand up to the abuse I put them through 😊. I use the 500rpm motors. They're perfect for what I drive the trucks over. The 300rpm is too slow for me. I tried a 1000 in the doorok & it don't have the torque to move it 🙄

They use the Orlandoo hunter running gear. I've got a doorok & a hunter shogun already. I'll be putting 500 motors in the xo1s, they seem to be the best for what I crawl the trucks over.

Ordered 2 x01s from tiny4x4 last night 😁. I'm far too excited for a 50 year old 🤣

Made wheel weights for the Orlandoo hunter shogun last night. They work a treat 😊

Have a look at kamtec.

I had a reasonable RC for Xmas when I was a kid. But the gearbox in that broke. I got into BMX for quite a while, but the council demolished the track we'd built on wasteland & we got grief when we rode in town. The cops kept stopping me for "having no back brake". It was a coaster brake & I showed the cops I had a back brake by doing back hops 🤣. I sold the BMX & bought a tamiya rough rider. After destroying that I took a long break from RC. When I was in my late 20s I bought a Tmaxx. I've been hooked ever since 😊

I had 2 ESCs from hobbyking left in the garden this morning. I'll be able to get the doorok up & running in a bit 😁

Put the associated sc28 back together after little un jumped it down the stairs & tore the back end off

I bought the wrong length drive shafts for the doorok 🙄. They're not internally hexed the full length for some reason. So I cut out the middle bit , made a collar , glued it all together & now I have the correct length drive shafts ☺️

I got a box of goodies from tiny4x4 in the post today. I should finally be able to finish the doorok I bought last November 😁🤣

Sounds like you need a new ESC at least. Does the motor still turn? I had a castle motor that got really hot due to me using a dust shroud to keep the snow out. It smelled funny, but still ran like a train after it'd cooled down.

Made a stinger out of sprue for the Orlandoo shogun last night. Looks good 😊

Some shocks for the Orlandoo shogun. 😊

Have you dropped the battery tray onto the spur gear cover? It lowers the centre of gravity massively & really helps with roll overs & climbing 😊

I finished the orlandoo micro shogun. Put the tyres off the doorok on it to help with ground clearance & they catch on the front bumper & body 🙄. I'll grind off the necessary & I've ordered some m5 280 shocks to give it a bit more lift .

Some heat shrink ( like electricians use helps keep the grub screws in. Super glue on the threads helps too. Mine kept spitting screws so I modded a traxxas summit drive shaft to fit & I've not had a problem since 😁

To get the batteries working.

Drop the battery tray onto the spur gear cover. That's a good mod ,& it's free 😁.

Hi. The steel rear drive shaft is pretty much a must. The chassis mod improves stiffness no end. I went for hobby king 4000MAH 2s hardcase lipos. Have a look at "outlaw owners" on here. There's loads of info there .if you want to go faster, a brushless combo from gool rc is less than 40 quid ?
