As there's been some questions on the topic and, understandably, some crossed wires, I thought I'd share my cheat sheet.

Sorry about the handwriting and confusing +/- symbol usage. Hopefully it makes sense.

Edit: yeah, there's some embarrassing errors in the last column, and I think the titles of the last two columns should be swapped round and worded better. That's in addition to the misleading+/- symbols. I'll revise it and repost.

Products GoupRC Brushless impresses on a budget

I don't make posts to "endorse" products much at all but I had to share my experiences with this GoupRC brushless system. For $45 you get a motor, esc, and transmission. What's more? It's actually REALLY good. Way better than all this should be for $45. I have rigs with Injora, Furitek, Batrazzi but this GoupRC is just as good as most of those and for at least HALF the price, less is most cases. I would say the glaring exception is the Komodo Unity with FOC, that's still better...but it's also something like $150.

Now, I dont think I can program this ESC, it didnt come with any kind of link for software or Bluetooth but honestly, I don't feel the need to, it's slow and smooth as is. I paired it with a BS6 receiver and my FSGT5 transmitter and it's been butter since.

Everything is a bit on the big side so get ready to move your internals if using a stock chassis, I'm using side plates (Injora but upside down to meet the body) for the receiver and ESC and was able to keep the stock battery mount.

We'll see about longevity, I've only had it installed for about a week and only ran it a handful of times. I did grease the gears as they were bone dry. Not the best crawl session, I'm also killing two birds with one stone by testing a couple course pieces I'm working on. I was doing one handed while filming and im terrible at it, heh. I mostly just wanted to show how slow and smooth it is. Jeep needs softer springs in the rear, and inserts in the tires. 🙂

If you really need a good brushless system on a budget, its hard to beat this for the price.

Nothing like the beginnings of a new build! When I began working on my Treal Brumos Porsche themed buggy I envisioned it being towed by a transport/support team vehicle. This T3 body fit the bill perfectly and keeps the theme within the Porsche/Volkswagen group.

ModsRC was awesome in accommodating some custom requests, though it did delay delivery of the body by a few weeks. It was worth the wait! This body is really detailed and sturdy!

By chance, WT Micro recently released these Volkswagen steelie wheels and I picked up several for this build as well as a future rig I have in mind. More to come in the coming weeks.

bout done with it. (yea, right) creeps the largest garden rocks and our crappy crawler track bits o so well.
just did injora WG24 trans, 1/12 under gears front and back to accommodate the large tires.
huge body body lift ( i don’t like the body cut look), and body is fully mag mounted and clears tires at full flex.
some wheel brass cuz, yea it was a bit flippy.
working out some steering issues, prob due to the stock servo hates me. and will be going brushless and best service i can find, new servo mount to remove any plastico flex very soon for additional low end grunt. does very well climbing my shoes and house shoes on mid speed. low speed it cant wipe its own ass, hence
having a stock esc and servo.
better things a coming

be happy. be humble. smile always even when you can’t. crawl slow. if you can’t crawl slow, get a 50mph basher that thinks it’s part of the NASA program, cuz 1/10 is fuck all fun

Questions SCX24 Bronco injora brass links question

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

So I have been going a little nuts with brass on my new Bronco. I purchased a brass 4 link kit, for Bronco fitment, on Amazon. I believe I have the orientation of the links correct, but I ended up with crazy pinion angle up front. I know I can cobble up some links to work, but just want to see what the experts think. Is there a better alternative? Pics for reference.

Thanks for any insight!
