That's pretty cool, just needs 9001kv motor & 4s and then you can tokyo drift in the local tesco car park. 

Nah, for a truck drifter i have a different idea.

Probably gonna confuse the living daylight out of a few people, but who doesn't love a race truck drifting in reverse (doesn't fit the right way around lol). 

lol certainly be different

You have a charger that exceeds 3kw? Wow. 

Actually i do, but not that one. Guess i should've drank my coffee first, seeing 6.5Ax2 immediately took me to the socket limit lol. 

Need to know what modifications are required to fit an Axe 540 can, mainly.

Afraid mine is stock apart from a bit of brass and new wheels.

Ah well, cheers. 🙂

They charge it on checkout and then it’s delivered quickly our end 

Cheers, was just wondering, never noticed.

so tempting that haha 🤣

They need the extra space after eating all those Donuts 

“Where’d ya get ya license? Off the back of a Cornflake packet?”

Yeah, back when i started that wasn't a thing lol - now trying to figure out gyros, drift servos (apparently a thing) and what not, not as easy as "put a silver brushed can in it and go" anymore. 😄

I remember back about 10-12 years ago RWD drifting was not even a thing. If someone asked whether it could be done the answer was  basically no it's impossible and it was considered a stupid question to even ask. Now it's the complete opposite lol. 

Yeah, that's when i had my MS01D. 

Programmable drift servos, i mean, tf?

Cheers - haven't played Destiny in donkeys years. Rubbed me the wrong way when Cayde-6 died lol.

Also waiting for Starfield, can't wait to see how many bugs Bethesda is gonna cram into this one. Hogwarts didn't last long, KSP2 is barely playable.. need something to tie me over until Starfield, so yeah, again, fingers crossed. 😄

Agree. I have been gaming since Atari 2600 days. But just lost my gaming mojo the last year. I got the Xbox series X and feel it was a waste as nothing really new (same on playstation side). Games are half finished mess. Half the time there is some money grab opportunity in there. Everything is online multiplayer. Sometimes I want a good game just to play with my daughter like good ol split screen days.

On that note. Anyone with kids who they game with or partners - It Takes Two - Fantastic game!

Played through it with my wife, and yeah, fantastic. 😄

Indeed, met my wife originally in DayZ (mod, not standalone) lol. And again agreed, we bought a PS5 a year or so ago, and while i did get lots of entertainment from GT7, that's.. about it. Did buy the PSVR2 a few weeks ago, literally have less than an hour in there. The new Horizon is cool and all, but it's just.. dunno, doesn't really feel like gaming. 

Currently playing me umpteenth playthrough of Roguetech  (a Battletech mod), mainly because i used to be interested in the table top version. Oh and of course "My Garage" on steam. 😄

Now I remember where I have seen it before!!!

@Stormbringer 300A. 

@totlxtc

I'm pretty sure they'll hold the 1.2 Gigawatts required. 

For anything 8s+ I wouldn’t use anything else 

Cheers, hope you enjoy it.

I absolutely love this thing already, though it appears that i ordered the wrong cable for our new dashcam - or it's broken. Ah well. Gotta be careful for the first few hundred miles anyway while the ICE beds in, by the time i can go fast as frick boi i'll figure out how to connect it lol.

Best thing though, the seats. Probably best seats i've ever farted into.

Lovely! Excellent colour choice too 😀

Cheers, yeah, very happy with that colour. 

Just came back from the bakery, .. being able to pre-condition the car is my new favourite thing. Press a button on the phone, and get to a thawed car with warm seats and steering wheel. That's just the best thing ever.

Nice but gonna cost a bit by time you add the ESC,Motor servo`s and a shell

Yeah it's not going to be cheap overall, but comp crawler usually never are. 

I do fancy one, i'll be honest. We'll see where the price lands. 

Modelsport are listing it for pre-order at £450 .

Not too shabby considering what's on offer 

Probably after i received and set up etc the printer. 😄

Yay, I'll be first customer for "M4ainbrains super scheisse 3D RC workshop" 

If anything, "m4inbrains unfassbar akkurate hausgemachte Plastikteile, Doppelkupplungsgetriebe und Einscheibentrockenkupplung". 

My manual states 2 or 3s and I’ve always run on 2. Don’t think the ESC is different on the Honcho but I did notice it said 3s on the recommendations? 

No idea i'll be honest, but 2s is even funnier. That huge a beast and you throw a few AA batteries at it, basically. 😄

When i saw it first i was convinced that you'd need 4s at the very least, considering weight and all. 

I believe the 1/6 jeep/honcho esc and motor will and can take 4s..!!

Well. Depends on who you ask - my wife certainly does think that "one" is already too many. Being on the fourth one, i did have some explaining to do lol. 

Hmmm i bet she wasnt pleased lol

You better remember this when she wants new expensive handbag to match her new expensive shoes 

She's after a 4080, so.. i have headroom on this TRX. 😄

A used one, TRX4 Sport Premium kit (2speed, difflocks), HW Axe system, aftermarket shell (plus TRX4 Sport Shell with Traxxas Light Kit), few brass parts.

Very nice mate enjoy it 

Certainly will bud, especially with what i paid for it 😄

Or just go Costa Drive thru tbh…..

Yeah, that's an option in Birmingham but not where i go drive. 

You not heard of a thermos flask. More money than sense some folks 😂

I've got a mate who does it to order can get a quote on parts if needed 

Cheers, but it's nothing big - gotta "design" it first, too. Just a few flag pole holders. 

sounds very iffy you do right to cancel order, should be fine getting money back, how about getting servo from here, about 2 weeks for shipping and free on orders over $35 https://www.injora.com/collections/rc-car-servo

Only do one servo in the region of strength that i need, and that one's pretty slow (and not brushless). Cheers for the suggestion though, i'll do what i should've done from the get-go and get a SW2290 Black Edition. 

Lets see where that Ali stuff is going. Instantly remember why i hate ordering from there - it's a gamble whether or not you get a decent shop, or, well.. a stereotypical one.

that looks cool as hell, i 'admit im drunk and just skipped parts but wow looks awesome 🙂

That really is cool 😎 

Nah, I meant the other Hoons white/silver/gold ones.

Just noticed they are even more expensive though 😩

That's what I hate about Arrma, they know the tyres are awesome but they wear out so quickly..!!

And why 'o why the 14mm hex 🤬

Yeah, only heard good stuff about the tyres - i guess you get what you pay for. I just would prefer to get some worse wheels for less money - i'll not speed run it, it's more a "drift-basher" to me, no need for the most amazing wheels. Just need some that i can replace cheaply after ruining a set. 

14mm hex is really stupid, seen some people convert the Mega to 17mm - probably gonna end up doing that too. 

Even if you convert to 17mm the wheels are a small weird size..!!

One other thing did you get the dji care refresh ? 

No problem - no, i didn't. I don't think it's a bad idea, but i paid for it on three drones, and never used it. Altogether just with that money i could get a new drone entirely lol. 

If the drone crashes through a manufacturing error, the normal warranty covers it - other than that, i've never had as much as a damaged prop on my drones. 

Maybe i'm overly careful (no flying in bad weather/high gusts/wind etc), but so far has served me well. If you fly LoS (as we all should, legal and stuff), you won't get surprised by a tree jumping in front of the drone - and, i don't think i've ever used sport mode on my drones, usually "normal" is fast enough, and for the majority i creep around in Cine/Tripod mode. 

@mydoddy69

Here's a big tip. I missed it on the first few testflights, ruined the footage for the most part. The FLY app doesn't have the old "hotkey" anymore for AEL (auto exposure lock). If you shoot in Auto (like i usually do, drone does a good enough job with white balance etc), you need to lock the exposure, otherwise you get incredibly visible steps in the video where it just changes brightness, rashly. I thought i did lock it (on older app versions, you tap something on the screen, and then tap in the square that pops up again and hold to lock exposure), but after reading up on it, well.. yeah nah. 

What you need to do, i assume the process for the RC Pro lite (whatever they call the screen remote) is the same, is to set your FN button (the programmable button) to AE lock. You'll have at least one programmable button that you can set to "tap" and "double tap", i got AE Lock on double tap now and it does indeed lock exposure. Here you can see what happens if you don't lock it.

Makes colour grading impossible (i just twisted some knobs, didn't actually grade it properly because you can't when the exposure jumps around all the time). Ignore also the jerky movements, i flew in normal and only just now played with the gimbal/yaw settings to increase smoothness (both "smoothness" in settings and expo on the yaw stick). 

Just a heads up. You need to do this or your footage is gonna look awful. 

Funny enough, i actually do have a cap on the parcel shelf - Freedom Factory merch. 😛

Can't wear caps though, look like a pernus with one. 

I was thinking about a 12V electric turbocharger, they add 40hp i've been reading. I'm also in the process of shaving the tyres with burnouts, slicks are faster. 

Put maccy D trays on rear wheels (assuming it's fwd) if it has a traditional hand brake, then you'll be Tokyo drifting in no time fam. 

How many bars of boost? Gonna need 2000cc injectors and AEM wideband. Don't forget a Bee-R limiter too 😎 

It's all wheel drive. All front wheels. 

Got all the bars of boost. Though not a big fan of cadburys, to be fair. 

I've thrown a few in the boot though for good measure. 

Me too, though just standard controller since the drawbacks of the smart controller outweigh the advantages for me. Did order the fly more pack and the ND Filter set though, and got enough SD cards from all the other drones/cameras. 

Looks like a great little beast, looking forward to playing with it. Knew it beforehand, but reviews etc confirm that. 

Hmm now you got me thinking I might have gone with the wrong controller. So what’s the pluses of the other ? 

It's not particularly positives of the standard controller, it's the negatives of the smart controller. This might not apply to you, so you gotta make your own mind up, but here's why i didn't go with it.

For starters, it's not the same screen as the original RC Pro. It "only" has around 700 nits brightness and viewing angles reportedly aren't great (which you can also see in some of the videos). Both my phone (S21), and my tablet (iPad Pro), are brighter than that, with better viewing angles, so the screen itself isn't actually an argument for me. Further, you actually can't conveniently mount a tablet to the smart controller, whereas you can get a tablet-holder addon for the standard one. 

Second, being locked in into DJI software sucks. I'd rather have the option later down the line to run Litchi or other 3rd party programs - but that's just a minor thing. 

Third: it's a screen. It's another thing to take high care of - if i put a standard controller on the floor when setting up the drone, no issues - i'd be more careful with the smart control, which is just hassle. We also don't know whether or not its gorilla glass (might very well be, but i didn't find info). 

Forth: no map overlay. If i use my phone, you get a small GPS map on the control screen - you don't get it with the smart controller. Apart or on top of that, this again is more important to me in particular since i live close(ish) to airports, i do have to unlock geolocks every now and then, which is more hassle with the smart controller than your phone. That could've been omitted if they'd have added a SIM slot to the remote (our car has one, our car charger even has one - i don't think it's unreasonable). 

In general it's a cool controller, and it's not like i don't want it, it's just that i know if i'd buy it, i'll be guaranteed to be annoyed very soon. For £150 extra, i'd rather save that money or get the flymore combo "for free" - i just get more out of it. If i had the option, i'd buy both - but i'm not made of money, and times are tough. 

To reiterate, i don't think the remote is bad - i just think, how to put it.. Like, the smart controller is an apple product, whereas the normal controller is Android. Does that make sense? The smart controller locks you into their system and takes away options/capabilities, but adds the convenience of a slightly streamlined startup process (unless you're geolocked and have to unlock stuff), whereas the normal controller is slightly less convenient to use because you need to attach a phone/cable, but allows more customisation (different screens, apps etc). 

The new PS and XB consoles essentially have AMD PC hardware, so cooling has become a massive concern. Hence the size!

Just don't jiggle that thing around! Apparently there have been horror stories about the PS5 liquid-metal coolant leaking. That would be bad!

liquid metal seems good  but it does leak out

Both my CPU and GPU in the PC are liquid metal'd, not sure how that's supposed to be leaking. It's just a thermal compound - if it hasn't squeezed out at assembly, it can't squeeze out after. 

That being said: we found a solution. Big TV in the bedroom now, small TV on the "PC wall", and console suspended next to it. Only gonna jiggle if the wall comes down. 😄

Our big TV doesn't support HDR10, so 52" has to suffice. Will do. 

While i am absolutely not a fan of the design, it is considerably better suited for us than our old PS4 that sounded like a Saturn rocket launching everytime you started a game - and because the loading times were measured in tree circles, you listened to that for quite a while. This one is silent, and saves us on heating lol. The fan design is considerably better too (had it open already for a "hack", o-rings under the fan shroud to reduce vibration). 

All in all, with just Ghost of Tsushima and Ratchet and Clank now, we had a fun day with it. Elden Ring tomorrow, and 4th of March Gran Turismo 7, which, if Gran Turismo 2 is anything to go by, will entertain me until FFXVI comes out lol.
