Tips Naman On RC cars

[kupaloids]

kupaloids::: Ako kahit matanda na isip bata pa rin hehehehe :D Ok yung pic! Pati tire cover ni Otep kuhang kuha. Yun lang nga US Version ang taillights AND Nabawasan ng 2 pinto :D Sayang phased out na Cross country chassis.

Pre kung interested k tlga s Pajero tingin ka sa eBay, may nagbebenta dun ng ganun tapos meron din CR-V ang body medyo may kamahalan nga lang kasi collectors item na yun. Baka meron kang kamag anak sa TATE, pwede ka maki suyo dun! :wink:

Eto yung CR-V version:


kimpoy: Pag uwi ko RC eb tayo nila pajerokid hehehe!

[pajerokid]

Yung CRV na yan Cross Country Chassis din diba?

[kupaloids]

pajerokid, Yup, yup, yup!!! Ganda din nyan!!! Ganda ng bago mong sig a! Bagay n bagay yung mags!!! Yumyum!

[chase]

tara eb tayo ng mga RC!
meron ako dto grasshopper 2...ni-rerestore ko... =)

djerms, san ka nagtuturo?

[kupaloids]

Para sa mga interesadong bumili ng Cross Country chassis w/ CR-V body, may available po sa Ebay. Just follow this link to see the item.

nanganak pajero ni otep, wala bang 1/18th size na otep he..he

[OTEP]

kimpOy,

Gagawa ako, gusto mo? Hehehe.

[pajerokid]

mbt::: Nice meeting you pare! :D Sorry we had to rush..... my gf needs to be somewhere kasi :D Kamusta "Agimat"? :lol: Pare, ang galing mo sa details! I was into scale models myself, hayep attention to details mo.... i mean, the decals and paint! :wink:

[mbt]

pajerokid,

ayk! ganun ba?... sorry na late ako sa meeting natin :oops: agimat?? hahaha... weeeell... pweeeeeede na rin siguro... :lol:

ashush, la yon... sayang nga di ko ginawang three-tone yung body... (parang yung dun sa postcard ehehehe)... too much work kasi e haha atat na atat na kong ipang-off-road yun kaagad nung naassemble ko na :mrgreen:

nice meeting you ser! :D hope you enjoy your new toy 8)

btw, nakita ko yung TXT-1 sa lil's kanina... ohmiged nakaiihi yung pic sa tamiya website! :shock: astig din yung TXT-1 video (1.1 MB lang) doon... hanep sa off-road 8)



here's the link to the Tamiya TXT-1 video (1.1 MB, 16 seconds): http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/58280txt_1/txt_1.avi

mbt:::

ayk! ganun ba?... sorry na late ako sa meeting natin

naku! di po ako nagpapatama :D its totally ok pare :D I cant wait to grab a 3000mAh tomorrow and run your rig at the Fort :D ! Looks like im gonna be busy the next couple of days :D

kupaloids et al::: Totoy na naman ako hehehe :D heres my new F150 courtesy of mbt....... ganda ng pagkakagawa!



Q:: Bakit sobrang mahal ng charger?! Mas mahal pa sa batt?

[pajerokid]

Kupaloids et al:::

mga katanungan.......... sensya na :D

1) What the hell is a "Dean's Bar"?

2) Whats the diff between a 25MHz Rx vs 40MHz?

3) Bakit mahal ang charger? Alam ko gumawa lang ako dati :D

3) Can i charge a NiMH batt with a NiCad chager?

4) Ano effect ng ball bearings?

more to come :D

[mbt]

Uy! alam ko yung truck na yan a :lol: :D

don't forget the 8 AA alkaline batteries for the radio controller

hmm ano pa ba kailangan malaman... um, yung cover ng isang motor lead ng ESC natanggal... i really don't know how in the world that happened... sobrang hirap ibalik nun! :? baka pwede mong ipabalik sa technician sa Lil's hehe i'm not sure if the radio receiver is secured with double sided tape already...

hindi glued yung tires to the wheels, so the wheels may spin within the tires... sabi nila gluing increases performance a bit but puts more strain into the driveline. your call

hmm... you'd want to brush (with an old toothbrush) debris out of the suspension, axles, and the main tub after running, particularly if ran in dust or gravel...

yung spare parts in the box includes 3x6 mm screws and 3x10 mm screws, 3 mm washers, an extra snap pin... etc etc and the little screwdriver to adjust the dials on the ESC if needed... for your reference, yung parts chart on the left side of each step in the assembly manual shows parts in actual size...

don't forget to attach the plastic straw that carries the radio receiver wire... hehe I bored a hole on the box so the r/c can be stored with the straw in place

yung missing battery retainer (that part is held to the chassis by one snap pin) meron daw available sa Lil's makati... but for the meantime, i think string, tape, a velcro strip, or alambre would be an adequate temporary fix

the motor and ESC may become extremely hot after running... yung ESC gets hot particularly when you run slowly, like in rock crawling. it's normal, but be careful that you don't burn your fingertips on them i think some people cut a rally-style vent hole in the windshield or somewhere on the body to cool the electronics on the chassis... some even go so far as attaching a CPU fan to cool the motor/ESC hehe

merong spring spacers na nakakabit sa four spring/shock assemblies on the model... you may want to take them out or add or remove them to modify the handling...

lastly, sobrang tempting sumugod ng puddle of water with it... hehehehe... water + unprotected electricals = toasted R/C :lol:

i think that's all you need to know about the R/C :D have fun! 8)

[mbt]

if i remember right, baka peak charger yun... yun yata yung mahal but recommended for safe, sure, automatic charging... yung iba yata timed charging lang... kelangan mo bantayan maigi or else the batt pack might overload or something ata :shock:

[pajerokid]

mbt::: thanks for the tips :D I already fixed a lot of the minor stuff. The esc-motor lead was easily fixed with some leftover audio thingies i have in the house :D

Im shopping for second hand batts over the internet. Im gonna go to lils later and get the batt holder and antenna pole (and probably ball bearings hehehe) :D Hopefully by this afternoon id be enjoying my new toy!

Pics to follow of course :wink:

Thanks again pre! :D

para san ba yung mga ball bearing na iyan?
anong naitutulong?
salamat.

[mbt]

chase,

ball bearings are more efficient than the standard plastic bearings (less friction)... run times and performance increase slightly...

pajerokid,

pahabol lang... yung ESC is protected by a green 30A automotive fuse (it's right beside the heat sink on the ESC). if the ESC stops working for some reason, baka blown fuse lang yun

i'm not sure if the gears are still adequately greased... you may want to disassemble the front and rear gearboxes para ma-grasahan ulit. fun yun... bonding with your R/C hehe :D

[kupaloids]

Some questions answered...

Kupaloids et al:::

mga katanungan.......... sensya na :D

1) What the hell is a "Dean's Bar"? = Dean bar is a bar of Dean... :lol: Seriously a deans bar is the battery connector used to replace the Tamiya type battery plugs. These Deans plugs increases the electrical conductivty between the battery and the ESC thus providing more electrical transfer and less current loss.

2) Whats the diff between a 25MHz Rx vs 40MHz? = It is the frequency used to contrlo the receiver by the transmitter (labo yata nun :lol: ) If two R/C players use the same frequency, one of which might have difficulty controlling the car because of radio interference. Also very dangerous cause it might make the other car out of control nad result into a crash.

3) Bakit mahal ang charger? Alam ko gumawa lang ako dati :D = Maraming lumabas na klase ng charger, may timed may intelligent may pang NiCd at may pang NiMh. Yung mga lumang model na timed charger, usually charges only NiCd. You can't charge a NiMh batts into these chargers kasi iba ang charging process at iba din ang voltage na gamit.

3) Can i charge a NiMH batt with a NiCad chager? = NO!

4) Ano effect ng ball bearings? = Ball bearing are the same bearing that Ungas is selling pero a lot smaller than them. It significantly reduces friction from the moving parts of the R/C. Less friction=more speed and less strain from the motor and gears. Visit this site and eBay to see different types of R/C bearings.

mbt: Pre sigurado ka bang gamit na yung R/C mo? Mukang bagong assemble e! :lol: I'm sure matutuwa yung R/C mo s bagong owner nya at mabibigyan nanaman sya ng matinding TLC (Tender Loving Care) ni pajerokid. :wink:

kupaloids,

slightly used na iyan! :lol: if you look closely at PK's pic, yung right headlight decal is torn a bit on the top edge hehe :mrgreen:

[kupaloids]

mbt, Kinis kasi! Palagay ko nagsisisi si Djerms kung bakit do pa sya ang kumuha. :lol:

pajerokid: Try to keep your eye on this topic, maraming nagbebenta dito. Version 14 itong topic na ito meron nang version 15 pero wala pang naka post. Just keep on lurking sa Manila Racers thread and look for "RC Stuff for Sale and Barter" topic at baka maka tyempo ka ng murang charger dito.

Hope this helps.:mrgreen:

[pajerokid]

mbt::: PARE HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D Super Sulit :D

kupaloids::: Thanks again for the info! Php 1,100 yung ball bearing upgrade. free labor sa ActionHobbies greenhills. Siguro gagawin ko to pag di na ako satisfied sa performance :D

djerms::: ty :D Pare, since you have the budget naman, go for the TXT1!!!!!! for 15k all in all, ready to run, sulit na yun! Tara! lets race!

chase::: tara lets pare! wala akong playmate! by the way, My frequency is Green :D sana magkaiba tayo.


update::: i got a 3000mAh battery.... 2600 plus an LPR charger 1600. The battery holder costs 200 bucks (comes with a lot of other plastic parts). Mamaya gogogo na!
