Hi I was driving my TRX 6 the other day when it just stopped. I initially thought it was the low battery safety that activated. But after I charged the battery the speed controller would not activate, the only thing that "works" is holding the on/off button in all the time. Then the servos work, but not the speed. Immediately when I release the on/off button, it dies. Does anybody have a clue what the problem is, I have tested with two different batteries, checked all connections for moisture etc. Everything seems okay, except from the obvious problem.

Hi all... Little about myself to give everyone background: I originally started in to RC cars over 30 years ago with my dad's Tamiya Frog, before getting my own Tamiya Falcon. (The Team Associated RC10 was the hot item at the time, but the Falcon was what my dad got me for a birthday present) I drove that sucker until I broke the chassis and couldn't get a replacement, since the Falcon had been discontinued, and the car was sentenced to the trash heap in the sky. Fast forward to about 7 or 8 years ago, and my father once again started into RC - this time being airplanes, which seemed prett ..read more

Seeing that the new K5 Blazer looked close to the 1/18 K10 pickup, I checked the mfgs specs. for a 1976 K5. And it matches 1/18 scale, almost perfectly. I have a early "first generation" FMS K10, and I am impressed with the improvements FMS has made in the new trucks. Only negative, is having to take the body OFF, to access the battery. It's a delicate, pain in the B__tt to remove, and then reinstall the body, and be carefull of the wiring to the headlights. Other than the R&R of the body, its a great truck.:) For over 25 years, I had a a first gen Blazer 4x4, 350cid 4-barrel. No shorta ..read more

This was a very long project. So long that the first hosted pics were lost when photobucket went down.. I'll start at the middle, when I've already had a scratchbuilt cab and bed on a custom chassis and scx10 axles. But I wanted portal axles and before TRX-4 make them mainstream, you had to make them somehow. I've made them by hacking scx10 axles and designing 3D printed portal boxes With portals done, truck rose 15mm so a new chassis was needed. Tried to do a replica: Looked out of scale, made of 16mm tubing but the 1:1 blueprints showed 17cm frame rails so it will work out ..read more

Hello, I have a few Axial scx24 crawlers and of course they all have their own rtr radio. Does anyone know what protocol they use, and is there a computer radio out there that would let me use 1 radio for all of them? Thanks for any help ..read more

This isn't specifically for crawlers, but I thought I might get a better response on here. I bought a set of Injora plastic 1.9" beadlocks. I have tried mounting tires with and without foams, but get the same results. They have a plane jane center and then a front and rear ring. To begin with, they give you tiny 2.5MMx4MM screws and nuts. There is no way I can get those tiny screws to work. Luckily, I had an assortment of 2.5MM screws and ended up needing either 10MM / 12MM long screws for it to work - at all. The screw length has to be exact or the screws will interfere with the hex area on t ..read more

I am curious what mods people have done, and how well they worked. For example: I changed the shocks to 53mm aluminum shocks, and found that I had to modify the upper mounting ears, to get the shocks mounted.:eek: I have done several other mods, but would like to hear what others have done ..read more
