RC clod buster project #2!
- Thread starter Steve_C
- Start date
With my Sister in the hospital the past 6 weeks things kind'a got put on hold for awhile. Finally starting to get a tad more time to play around with things again though so just ordered the battery for this build last night. Ordered a SMC 3S 11.1v 5400mah 135amp 90c Lipo. With the dual brushless 5700k sensored Castle motors and dual Mamba-X ESC's plus as light as this truck is, this thing should most likely fly like the wind.
Gotta sort out the wiring next. Doing dual motors and dual ESC's with one lipo is a bit confusing to sort but I think I am on the right pasth for figuring all that out.

I have a Venom Pro Dual charger that can charge two lipo's at once. I haven't used it yet but it's supposed to be a pretty good one. Think it was around $90/$100 on sale back around Christmas.
That's a pretty impressive/expensive looking build. I don't do these, but I'm guessing $500 wouldn't begin to cover it all.
As a teen, I had planes and cars powered by nitro-fuel Cox .029-.049 engines, but none of them were remote control. It was waaaay to expensive for me the the 60's, plus was always illegal where I lived (radar base, missile base, bomber base etc.)
Nowadays, I'd like to build a remote control boat to run while I'm lounging on my little boat, and the fish aren't biting.

Boats are a lot of fun. Back in the 80's my Dad & I use to belong to a local Rc boat racing club and we had all sorts of boats. Use to have a bunch of hydro's, quite a few coyote riggers and some deep V's. Was a lot of fun to race them with my Dad at club races almost every weekend.
