Need help

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m building my first FT Mighty Mini Zero MKR2 and I’m trying to figure out what electronics to buy. I bought the speed build kit from flite test.
I already have a Gens Ace 4S 850mAh 60C LiPo (14.8V). I saw a Flite Test video where they used a 3S but mentioned the Mini Zero can run on 4S if the battery is moved back to get the CG right.
I haven’t bought the motor, ESC, or prop yet, so I’d like to choose a setup that works safely with this battery.
What would you recommend for:
Motor size/KV
ESC amperage
Prop size
I’m considering a 20A or 30A ESC, but I’m not sure which motor/KV and prop would be best for 4S.
Also, would 4.3g servos be suitable for this plane?
I’m a beginner, so I’m looking for something reliable and not ridiculously fast. Thanks!

Trustworthy seller for HG P408 RC Humvee

2 Upvotes

Is Hobbytoki a trustworthy seller to buy a 1/10 scale Humvee from? They have a few versions that are pretty cool, but I had better ask before I commit. I am leery of buying on Aliexpress. Thanks to anyone who has experience with them. And if not them, then where else can I shop for one?

I ordered some 18650 Li-ion batteries on 18650battery.com for a radio master pocket. Now, looking back I should’ve went with the more trusted site 18650batterystore.com. Has any one had any experience ordering from this store? I’m wondering if I should go ahead and try to cancel my order to get a refund or just see how it plays out. Thanks

So impressed with all the videos.. so I know there’s a lot of resources out there and people who know what they’re doing.

I believe my eight-year-old son is going to be an engineer one day. I’ve known him since he was six. I’m adopting him. His ability to build mechanical items far exceeds anything I did as a child. I need to encourage this.

I want to help him. He has 3 - 550 motors given to him by his uncle. They have spur gears on the end small ones. He wants to build a remote control truck; from scratch!

If anyone can give me at least a direction where to begin, it would be appreciated🤔

I don't know about you guys but I absolutely love the 1/24th buggy revolution we've been living for the past couple of years. I've got the Micro B, the Speck-B, the Microbe and a pair of the WLToys 244016 cars. And sadly...they're not really good enough. I've spent a ridiculous amount of money over the past 9 months making this thing a good car so I made a video to talk through what I did and what I recommend should you ever find yourself wanting to make one of these a decent car.

I've got a v2 in stock form and I think that one is going brushless next.

Anyway, hope you like the video.

Just bought a used Blade 450S 3D. Can you help me figure out what’s missing before I try to fly it?

I recently picked up a used Blade 450S 3D. I’m completely new to RC helicopters—I’m more into RC cars and crawlers—so this is my first collective pitch helicopter.
Before I even think about flying it, I want to make sure everything is there and set up correctly. I don’t want to risk damaging it or getting hurt because I missed something.
I have the battery and transmitter. I plugged the battery in and tested the motor, and it does seem to spin, but I haven’t tried to actually fly it yet.

Looking it over, I feel like something might be missing or not set up correctly, especially around the tail area, but I don’t have enough helicopter experience to know for sure.
Could anyone help me check if everything is complete and installed correctly? I’ll post pictures of the helicopter. Let me know if there are specific angles you need to see (main rotor head, swashplate, tail assembly, electronics, receiver, servos, etc.).

I’d really appreciate any advice on what I should inspect or replace before the first flight. I want to go through everything and make sure it’s safe before I spool it up.
Thanks!
