  1. Hello All, Hoping someone can help. Since returning to the hobby some 9 years later my memory seems to have failed me when it comes to BECs. I have trx4 with hobbywing fusion pro 2 in 1 motor, savox 1210sg servo and a traxxas scale pro light kit installed. Running with original traxxas rx/TX. I noticed some flickering on the lights so I assumed I needed a BEC to correct the issue. I bought the traxxas bec kit and installed it to no avail. I think because the 2 in 1 motor this doesn't work as expected? I wanted to install bec to get rid of the interference caused to the lights by the servo and at the same time provide a point where I can connect other lights that require max 7.4v. Hope someone can help.
  2. Do I need a BEC? TRX4 with pro scale lights, HW fusion pro fox 1800kv motor, savox 1210sg. Noticed the lights flickering when the wheels turning. Running 3s lipo. Traxxas or castle BEC? What voltage should I run?

      Try a Rx cap first? They're very cheap and can fix slight brown-outs.

  3. Hello All, After a long long long time away from RC and having sold all my rigs some 9 years ago I all of a sudden had an itch to get myself something. It kind of started by watching a ton of YouTube vids of xmaxx's and was really into the idea of getting one and I don't know how but I ended up with a trx4 2021 bronco. I really got into the vids of crawling and the realism of the whole thing. So found a good condition trx4 with some upgrades including the pro scale light kit (with an issue), rock lights, hobbywing 1800kv fusion pro (it's amazing!) beadlock wheels and super grippy tyres, svaox 1210sg servo (annoyingly buzzy). Have a few mods/upgrades scale items I want to get to make it my own. For now here are some pics. P.s. If any of you seasoned pros can help with an issue. So I've added some pics below of the halo light, when I've plugged in the battery the halos come on, however the right side doesn't work fully. But when I turn on the power and the low beams come on it appears the halos work fully. But in only day running lights it only half works on the right. Any clues as to what the issue might be?
  4. Looks absolutely fabulous lol. For having got that a few weeks ago you sure have kitted it out... Unless you bought it like that? Looks great either way! I've just got new to me trx4 2021 bronco too, need to post a thread.
  5. Hi All, After a ESS Dual Sound Simulator for Trx4 2021 Bronco. If anyone has one available they're looking to sell let me know. Thanks, Mo.
  6. HiGuys, Looking for RTR crawler setup. All things considered. After selling all my 10+ trucks some years ago I want to get back into the hobby but with a crawler setup this time. Get in touch if you're selling your setup. Regards, Mo.
  7. For sale a 4s 5000mah Gens Ace Lipo. Used but in good condition. £30 + £5 postage Thanks.
  8. Yeah astec has some nice stuff too. Rigidrc has things both of them don't though...I had a feeling about rigidrc. Lol they're on the other end of the scale to the likes of Stella and rcmart where they mark the value over!? A bit spasticated
  9. I noticed that is from rigidrc. I've been Googleing them to find reviews, but I came up with nothing. Also emailed them but no reply. Where are these guys based? Good service? I like a lot of their stuff...under their contact area there is no info about location whatsoever.
  10. Oh wow, that looks snazzy! Off I go to have a look at RC Jazz now lol. I thought you'd done the servo location change because I couldn't see the servo in it's normal place on the truck...maybe the photo angle just didn't show it.
  11. Thanks buddy, looking good! Have you done the steering mod where you fit it at the front underside?
  12. I'd just like to see what your build looked like...it would be nice if you could post a bunch of the finished truck along with some in progress photos of anything interesting you did along the way. That would be cool! Thanks! Whatever is easier for you.
  13. Hey bud, do you have any pics/vids of your build any place else. I'd like to see the progress/build/finished truck.
  14. Thanks bud, the savages etc were easy in comparison to these things.
  15. Exactly, the way it pokes out the side for a 1k+ option is a bit ridiculous. I have seen the Palfinger ones and my oh my the price on those is shocking. I think you can tell I'm new at all this scale stuff, I'm shocked at everything I look at lol. Slowly learning and coming across more and more manufacturers of cool parts and upgrades. I just recently came across Verkerk who do a very nice upgrade/replacement part for the roof instead of the stock one....which is what that Vogel one has up there in the picture I posted a few days back, didn't know that then.
  16. Hey bud! it's good to be back lol. AJ and spanenrmonkey are the pros here. My one is all stock, so lots can be done still and I plan too!
  17. Hey Guys, so has anyone here fitted one of these cranes? I think they are so awesome but so expensive. They look super cool though and oh look they've fitted it to a R620 But in that photo below I don't like how the crane sticks out the side so much. This is the RC4WD one....does anyone know of any others? https://store.rc4wd.com/114-Truck-Mounted-Hydraulic-Crane_p_5502.html
  18. I'm going to have to try this, I really want that showroom finish shine...it's going to be a show truck, hopefully, maybe So for the electronics you went with the IB2U? They have a new more updated one now IB2UM2 or something, I forget. Which did you go for again? Does this do the same thing as the Tamiya MFC-03 which is what I have now, but I'm considering other options for the next truck. I'd like to be able to control lots of different lights via the tx.
  19. No way! 3 days! That's bloody amazing. I'm going to just start with a set of cnc wheels and tyres for the front and see how it goes. I might consider getting a scania 4x2 kit from them as it's quite a bit cheaper.
  20. Thanks AJ. Looked on Stella Models, they have the wheels I want so I might just do an order with them. WTBcar is also a good one. Lots of good stuff there too! I hope I don't get any customs charge because I always get screwed ...will have to wait and see I guess ?
  21. That colour looks really good. How do they get it to look so good? Must be many many coats of paint...I've seen some trucks that the paint work makes the plastics look like, well not plastic underneath...is this from lots of coats?
  22. This is awesome lol... I tried to get my nephew to watch vids on YouTube but then decided to tell me he wasn't old enough (4yr) to watch them because I told him he wasn't old enough to play with my scania lol AJ thanks for the info re the tx... Might look into one of those in the future as I progress more and more into this crazy hobby!
  23. Woah six axles! That is a lot, should look awesome. Got any pics of what you're hoping to achieve? I'm thinking to get another scania but the r470 single axle at the back opposed to the twin one I have now. Get it as a kit and do the mods and upgrades to that one with a nice paint job. I've really been inspired by this one..... Really want to get some cnc metal wheels, found them on truescaletrucks but the guy is really slow in replying. Might just order a bunch of things from china/hk.... Only thing is waiting and getting stung by customs... Where did you order your lesu part from?
  24. LOL always nice to make someone laugh ? Hang on, so are you saying you are making one of these 4 steer trucks or.... I've never come across 1/2 built projects on ebay...well I've only been looking for the last few weeks so yeah. But that power plant looks crazy, so much detail. Pricey though!
