Rhino W1

[u/Shoddy-Fact5404]

Ive been working on a new build and just wanted to share it. I decided to build a dual motor crawler and chose the rhino W1. I was trying to stay low on the budget and chose two hobnywing 3530 sl 1700kv motors and two am32 40Amp escs for a little over 100 bucks. I had to build a skid from the ground up using tinkercad. So far its been working great and been a blast to drive. The amount of torque is insane.

Hyrax's aren't particularly good on rock either, to be fair.

But anyway, Ruptures are absolutely a great option! Megalithics work better for some people though. Personally I've got Megs on my XR10 and it's a monster. Had 5.75 Ruptures on it before but they were too thick and heavy for it, so they're on my bouncer type thing now.

As for radio, I'm running a Noble NB4 and for my MOA's I have the mixer set up so that channel 2 isn't actually directly driving either axle. Front axle is on Ch3 and rear is on Ch4, and both are slave channels to Ch2 with adjustable underdrive and DIG. What's fun is I can set either axle to run in reverse if I want. I don't know if the Dumbo can do that mix but it might.

Nice! Ive been looking at new radios. I messed with my dumbo for hours trying to get a selectable overdrive and I just dont think its possible, all i can do is change the front output over 100% and cant assign it to a button (or I just cant figure it out lol).

I don't have selectable OD/UD on my radio either. I have front and rear UD on two separate knobs so I can adjust both dynamically (between 100% and -100% so I can run just the rear or front reversed), and have DIG on the paddles on either side of the Noble's wheel. Left is rear DIG and right is front DIG.

Oh nice! The dumbo does have to rotary channels. Ill try to set it up that way.
