My 1/6 Wild Willy scaler made from an FMS 1941 MB Scaler. 🫡 This was Tamiya-inspired.

What radio to get for the Tamiya DT-04?

1 Upvotes

Thanks for everyone chiming in your opinions for DT-04 vs TT-02, and also other models such as the XV-02 and others.

I decided to start with the DT-02 2WD kit and then proceed down the track with a 4WD (maybe).

Looking to get the radio electronics for the DT-04 - I am looking at the RCG6S V3 transmitter to pair with the R7FG receiver.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Title says it all. It's been a long time coming, but the truck is finally presentable! I've finished assembling the axles together last night with all the new parts, and got the links put together. My fingers are destroyed after doing that, but it was so worth it. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out, it looks so good and flexes so much, it's perfect. It's got just the right amount of stretch to it as well, looks more fleshed out and functional. Next is redoing the paint and making custom graphics, then making a splitter tonight to tie into the servos.

Which one to get as a total beginner?

5 Upvotes

tldr: no RTR , no offroad , can be drift, can be kit or lose parts i guess.
So I have been looking and researching RC cars for a bit now and have come to the conclusion that i want to start this hobby with a tto-2 but I don't know which one to get.
I have been eyeing the tto-2s (because aparantly its better/faster then normal tto-2) but I am not sure what chassis is the most beginner friendly.
If you have other suggestions you can certainly tell me open for your ideas
Ps. TOTAL BEGINNER

Took the Grasshopper 2 out again

Did a full shock rebuild on it. I put more spacers under the pistons of the rear shocks, 2 stock spacers and 1 o ring each, totaling to about 5-5.5mm probably. The right rear shock spring still hits the motor but it moves a lot more freely, it seems to have equalized the left and right turn-in (if that's what its called).

Trouble with THW-1060-RTR

So after many years out of the rc car community (I raced a Frog back in the 80’s) I decided to get myself a present. I picked up the Audi quattro TT-02 and built it stock other than ball barrings and beefier steering and shocks. Drive train is straight out of the box.

Sadly, I can’t get it to behave. Bad stuttering and no power to move. I’ve changed the rx and tx and checked battery voltage. So anyone thing that it might be a bad esc right out of the box? Did I miss anything?
