Have you tested the AUX battery and fuses (the big multi fuse pos)? AUX battery going out is known for weird shit. Could even be the control module for it too.
I think it should also be noted that those who are in tard states with ACN fuel, the gains are a bit less as your fuel is much worse than most everyone else.
Every engine I've had ran worse and could feel less power everywhere after living on the east coast then moving to the west coast with...
Quite the RC garage you have going so far.
If you’re looking for a couple of TRX4s to add, wait until I update with my order, I think you’ll find you can save a bunch of money vs buying new and still swap TRX4 parts in but for less initial investment.
Or jump on the deals you find. I’m not...
Why wait? Better to have it documented now and if parts take a while, you’re already on the list vs waiting and being further down the list.
We both know Stellantis is a failure at getting things correct the first time, so why let them take longer than necessary?
Also, not sure how your state...
Sounds like the video processor could be fried. You mentioned it gets worse with heat, meaning either the camera circuit between the sensor in the camera and the radio got wet and has corrosion causing interference, or the chip that actually processes the video signal is faulty.
Are you not...
I'm down with the sickness Oh ah ah ah AH! 🔊
Keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks for my update to the 1:10 I ordered. For the price, I think you may be pleasantly surprised compared to the big brand names.
As for the 1:10 vs 1:7 gladiator, you really need to decide whether you want to...
I've never been a fan of using cables on the interior, they rust, bind, and require lube which can get pretty messy over time, and the lube collects dirt which wears out the cable/sheathing. But good idea.
Also those (window) motors are a bit chunkier than I could make the actuator.
I almost...
For those curious about the 1:7 Gladiator I found, here's the link (not affiliated):
Rlaarlo JK07 PRO (Brushless)
For a stock rig, it has almost every feature you could ever want: brushless FOC system, high torque steering servo, locking diffs, 2 speed, 2S-4S ready, 10ch TX/RX, full light kit...
I've seen those on Aliexpress, but with my experience they don't always have the same quality as the official units (mostly discontinued models now) and have a hit or miss record of being fully compatible with some modules I would use...or just have lower specs for my projects.
At that point...
@HOLLYWOOD33 It is pretty smooth, the brushless FOC systems are worth it vs a brushed system.
I'm just more of a function person so I'm confident I'll enjoy the lockable differentials and 2 speed capabilities. Also the one I ordered comes with a winch, so that may be fun on occasion. Might not...
Remember the Takata recall? Yeah, we still sold them even though they were "unsafe" to drive. At least for those we just had a safety waiver the customer had to sign before we could "deliver" the vehicle for them to take home, proving they understood the vehicle had a safety recall and could be...
The real issue is the glass is FLAT. Almost every other windshield has a curved design which helps deflect impacts. Out west it isn't uncommon to replace your windshield in a Gladiator/Wrangler 2-4x per year. I once saw a customer come in 2x in the same month due to glass damage, they ended up...
Post up your crawler pics if you have any.
I also have a 1:16 basher for my dog, does 25mph on 2s out of the box.
But back to crawlers, here’s a clip of the 1:18 I use as both a crawler and trail rig, doing a little submarine duty. Ignore the clicking, I use plastic tranny gears as the steel...
How much weight do you think it would add?
And without making a whole new top, fitting new glass, reinforcing the rear of the cab and restructuring it, that isn't viable.
We're talking working with the existing equipment. Thus the power option for the sliding rear window.
I appreciate your...
I find it funny you mentioned Bambu Labs...
I don't support them for various reasons, which the kind gentleman I've linked a video from can give you more info that you probably want, but should get to know if you enjoy owning your own products and having the freedom to create DIY projects...
The biggest issue regarding cost is that EVERYTHING has gone up in price exponentially, and this is purely speculation, but to reduce the sheer cost effectiveness for DIY vs buying from a big name company.
Nothing I was able to do 15 years ago is even remotely cost effective to DIY anymore...
Soft top owners can vote, but we know this isn't meant for you.
How often do you find yourself wanting a bit more fresh air while driving but don't want to pull over and reach back, or even get out to open the window. And you find the side windows to not be an option?
Maybe you have a dog that...
Yes, but you'd need either two limit switches (SPDT) or an encoder, plus the linear actuator. The encoder would be much cleaner (and often available built-in to the actuator). You'd also need a small microcontroller to allow for a SPST switch (the factory AUX switch) to allow it to open when...
