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 !
