RC ADVENTURES - PT4 - AXIAL SCX10 HONCHO SCALE RC TRUCK KIT BUILD - TEKIN & MAX AMPS

[TheCrackHeads11]

where is that battery on maxamps i cant seem to find it?

[ScalerProductions]

Do you have to use a BEC with a 3s lipo? i read on a form somewhere that it was required?

[j2b360]

What setting on the hotwire set up allows for a lower speed? Right now when i lightly touch my throttle it goes fairly fast.

[74drat]

whats the diff between 27t and 35t motors?

[NANDOTCBASS]

hey very helpful video!! thanx, but I have one question does any kind of all-purpose clear silicon works? I'm from venezuela so there are just two or three silicon brands I can get.

[ScalerProductions]

did u still use the cc bec on this?

[djmedic2008]

@ScalerProductions Yes I did.  It really helps distribute power properly..

[Bocaseem]

If I bought the Honcho TR, and then later on decided to upgrade the esc to the Rooster, is there any soldering involved, or connection changes? Thanks! Love your vids!

[camaross92]

@djmedic hey bro im gettin an scx 10... how much run time u get from those 1550's ?

[x18xShOoTeRx18x]

other than max amps what other waterproof lipo batteries are there

[bleachismilife]

medic all im going to say is one day i hope to be able to run with u cause my crawler is nothin compared to urs i mean ya mines cheap but thats how u sometimes have to start but hey man any little help will work if u have ideas of things i could do or can do to mine i have vids up of it while im workin on it and a session of using it and me askin for help if u could do that for me thanks and remember KEEP ON CRAWLIN BROTHER

[kusokurae21]

Which one should I get? Kyosho Rock Force or this kit? I'm thinking about getting into crawlers and these 2 are on the top of my list. Can you please tell me what pros and cons between the 2 models. Thanks in advance

[UmyNEPHEW]

Hey Medic did u put any silicone on the power switch to the FXR or can it get wet?

[YeahFrenchy]

Flux Capacitor?

[djmedic2008]

@YeahFrenchy 1.21 gigga watts

[YeahFrenchy]

@djmedic2008 Awesome now my scx can travel through time!

[EthanX817]

@djmedic2008 lol i thought it was jigawats

[CrazySilentAssain]

@ djmedic. so is your esc now completely water proof know.

[UmyNEPHEW]

Did you water proof the motor at all? How does it hold up in deep mud and water?

[djmedic2008]

@UmyNEPHEW my friend.. i would like to direct you to another video I produced over almost 2 years ago.. called "Water Proofing an Electric RC Motor".. Water Break in.. your questions will certainly be answered better than this short posting :)

[wrestlemaniac202]

Soldering is a nerd form of gtaw or tig welding

[djmedic2008]

@wrestlemaniac202 Picking on other people for having fun is the nerd way of sounding important.

[rabfs]

does the axial esc with the axial 55t motor work with an 11.1volt battery?

[djmedic2008]

@rabfs no - you will melt the esc

[rabfs]

@djmedic2008 and the axial 55t motor can work with the 7.2 baterry?

sorry about all this question but i really need to know to do things right.:)

[djmedic2008]

@rabfs yup.. should be just fine. :)

[cbigthing69]

okay medic i made a great discovery i mounted my stock savage shocks on my scx 10 honcho in a droop set up (no springs) and they work awsome they give in so much travel its un real i can climb almost anything and they allow the scx 10 to really twist to the maxx .....try it out guys 

[rcBitz]

Planning my build at the moment and like your battery choice. Looking at the MaxAmps site there are so many choices. What run time do you achive with your setup? Is it worth considering a smaller, say 860mah that will be much lighter to reduce CG? (eg an AX10 battery and possibly adding to the front axial) Thanks for your help.

[somewhathigh]

alot of people have been telling me to use a 35t motor, but I bought a Novak 55t paired with a rooster crawler ESC with linelocs both ways. so far I've been able to drop it into the deepest pit I could find and with a little tweaking on the trim I have no problems pulling out of anything or climbing hills. The only problem im having now is steering with bpth my honcho and my scorpion. Any good suggestions for a high torque servo to improve? Love the videos and following you on RC Tech forums.

[djmedic2008]

@somewhathigh Hello my friend, its completely personal choice of course :) If you have not been having problems with the speed of the rig, then no worries at all. Some folks like a bit more wheel speed (for example in my TTC videos you need some extra "umph") but 55 is also a great motor. I use a mix of servos - one of them being Traxxas 2075 waterproof - but also I use a Hitec 645MG, and waterproof it myself. Thanks for the support and the comment man! Good to know peeps are watching :)

[PontiacGT201]

What type of capacitor is that? is it needed. im gettingthe same esc and motor you used here.

[rcBitz]

@PontiacGT201 I have just brought this setup and the capacitor is supplied with the kit.

[dvonlangen]

do you know where i could get a parallel or y harness for this truck that has standard connectors on it so I can hook up my winch

[deadeye120596]

how much did u pay for your soldering iron??...thx

[rclover99]

how much is the esc and the motor

[sg1trogdor]

great video your run through on the electronics really helped me out I am new to the electric rc stuff always been a nitro guy but scalers are the way to go now.

[haqeem18]

dude.

what is the motor RPM?

[dav1dh0ff]

i thought the bec just meant you don't need a separate battery pack for the receiver.

[djmedic2008]

@dav1dh0ff Battery Eliminator Circuits are small devices that eliminate the need for a receiver and servo battery pack. They draw higher voltage from the motor batteries and drop it to a voltage level that is suitable for your receiver and servos. This is required in applications which draw high power for multiple servos or use more than 3S motor packs, as most ESCs with linear BECs are not designed for these applications.

[twistedsteelDK]

another question medic. will the honcho body fit my ax 10 scorpion rtr chassis?

[twistedsteelDK]

nice vid medic this unit is going to rock. could you give me a link for the tekin fxr system pls.

[rcBitz]

@twistedsteelDK This is their site ,teamtekin com/fx

[TachyonDriver]

You know, watching your build vids Medic, it makes me want to go out any buy another crawler kit! Must try and persuade my wife to agree LOL!

AKA DIFFLOCK @ UKRCRC

[Boot2yourHead]

Hey DJ you should try corrosion-X for your waterproofing it works great . it;s easy to use too. just dunk your esc in and let it dry. check it out here on you tube.

[djmedic2008]

Part 5 is now available as a video response below

[rccrawler04]

nice vid, good explanation... I also use a fx-r esc on one of my rig and I love it

[STdemoniac]

Tekin the best one, like that esc small size

another great video medic :)

[rockymountianking]

nice clean work space thats wat i need. nice jobon the vid definatly gona refer back to this when i wire up my ax10

[SmallDragon76]

Very Nice Projekt, can't wait to see it in action.

Good choice with the electronics.

5*

[CLODBUSTER113]

Another Great Video A! and its Tech in  LOL! j/k

[Azraelthewizard]

nice man thanx for the ibfi!

[1967mustang123]

nice!

[traxfan32]

Did you say Flux capacitor? Dude its a time macine! hehe

[krankedsilver]

how much was that soldering iron?

[0IlIl0]

Can't wait for pt 5! Thumbs up!!

[NitroRC4life]

hey dude, nice build so far. I really want to build one this summer so I can have the whole summer of no school to play with it. One ? though. What kind of ring is that? It reminds me of my 300 ring from bowling a perfect game.

[djmedic2008]

@NitroRC4life its a WWII West Point Colleg Officers Grad Ring. I inherited it.

[NitroRC4life]

@djmedic2008 cool, it's really big!!

[plorwax]

whats really the advantage of using 3 cell lipo over 2 cell lipo?

[djmedic2008]

@plorwax Raw power

[RCWinnipeg]

LOL "Flux capacitor" sorry medic I couldn't resist. Good video thanks for posting bud!

[djmedic2008]

@RCWinnipeg no problem my fellow canadian friend... I only have one let down for... I dont thing the Max Amps batteries put out 1.21Gigga Watts needed to get up to 88mph... Maybe if I bought a few more of them...... ;)

[RCWinnipeg]

@djmedic2008 lol again, you actualy reminded me in this video that I have a soldering tip for my butane torch. The whole time I have owned it I only used the torch for metals and never used it to solder electronics. I have been using a cheapo $20 iron and had the $120 torch sitting on my bench with an appropiate tip the whole time... I seen you pick yours up and thought "HEY! OH! I got one of those!" Now no more 10 minute jobs thats should take 30 seconds. Thanks!

[4mods]

Super efficient esc man, nice setup.

[djmedic2008]

@4mods I appreciate your comment 4Mods.. your awesome for the support. You for 1 certainly understand all the work that goes into these vids... we only make it look easy , don't we. Some folks dont reasize the amount of time, planning and efforts it takes to get these monster HD vids on Youtube.. lol - Cheers bud

[4mods]

@djmedic2008 Hours that we don't even notice go by damn it! haha. Keep it up.

[RCNEWStv]

even though i dont own a scale truck, i still find this very informative and interesting. great job!

[djmedic2008]

@RCNEWStv Thanks Bill! Sorry I had to erase your last awesome comment in the other vid,,, but I had to re-upload it. I think its great you may be building one of these.. they are a ton of fun to mess around with!

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

i run a FXR on my losi mini rock crawler and its the best esc ive ever ran!!!! never fried or glitched! love that little thing :D

[djmedic2008]

@xXShadowRejectsXx Thumbs Up buddy! Thats a great esc.. as you know! Tekin all the way!

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

@djmedic2008 totally man!!

[JOHNDEEBANK]

Im really excited over this. U make it very clear, precise and do-able.

John. Guelph, Ont.

[djmedic2008]

@JOHNDEEBANK Thanks John,,, i make videos like this just for good folks like you. I hope this may inspire you to try building one of these kits... you can always take your time.. and build along with the vids Ive left for all to enjoy

[beastly239]

whats a transponder? i know you didn't mention it in this video but nobody else ever responds to me on other videos and i thought you might know
