Remote Control stuff

[Oswego]

Ive got remotes, servos, and batteries for a full ride but I grew out of it. Ive been wanting to throw a weed wacker engine into a 3-4' boat hull for many years but never got around to it. With as much time as I spend in or near water it would make sense.

I got the truck yesterday. Got it running tonight (It was assembled, just had to charge the battery and install it). Had it running for maybe 4 minutes around the garage. One of the bolts that holds the tie rod into place on the passenger side knuckle came out and is gone! Damn it.. I should have checked all of them and added Loctite where advised. I looked for the bolt but its tiny!! So anyhow, ordered their complete hardware kit which contains all the nuts and bolts that you would get if you have to assemble it yourself. Oh well.. gives me a chance to learn how to take it apart.

Found a box full of small metric allen head bolts, so its back together and moving! My dogs are NOT impressed with it!

That is pretty impressive it is so authentic it even loses small bolts.

I can't locate my 1/10 scale 10mm socket either!!

It works!

Swapped out plastic sliders for metal ones with a kickout. Winch should be here today, winch controller next Tuesday and 4Runner body on Sunday. I still would like to replace the plastic rear bumper with a metal one. Got to figure out which one.

The truck needs micro cameras, it will help the driver pick a good line.

And a tiny little spotter.

"Warn" winch came in. Roller fairlead it came with won't fit. Which is fine, have a hawse fairlead on the way in a week or so. Can't use it until I get the controller anyhow. Radio has an unused 3rd channel I will use for that. Rope is tied on kinda willy nilly, I'll make it nicer once I get the fairlead and it's on for good.

I asked a question to the folks selling that camera you posted asking its actual size of the head of the camera. They say they the aperture is 3.5mm but how big is the head. I'm thinking Go-Pro style above the dash.

That’s a really small camera, I’m sure there are other brands that sell micro nano cameras too, ask them to put that camera over a $1 bill and send a picture to you.

Also look at the micro SD card slot on that camera, the overall camera is stupid small.

 

[Taco Loco]

This one is probably twice the size of the other one.

You need one like they mount on the drones that send out a wifi/bluetooth signal you can live stream.

 

[Silverback]

That would be cool! Mount it down in front of the bumper or where the driver's head would be. I'll look into them more.

Anyhow, winch controller came in. It works!

God damn, you've got me wanting to get my shit running again.

Going to need to brush up on my model building skills. LOL. Lots of pieces.
