This is why you always check your control surfaces

I rushed my preflight and it came back to bite me in the ass. I took off and I realized my ailerons were reversed and that didn't occur to me until it was too late

I got a new rc car

I got this hyper go for my birthday. Its my first brushless rc car and first with oil shocks. It does have upgrade parts available and it feels high quality. Yet my friend refuses to call it hobby grade. What is the true meaning of hobby grade

My abomination is finally alive

I took two of these rover bots and combined them into a Frankenstein 8x8. It took 3 boards from the other 2 I had to tear apart. I kept shorting the boards and they stopped working. I plan to water proof this one eventually. But for now. Its a rechargeable swapped. 2s 8x8. I only lost my mind once. I plan to finish the outside details soon. Who says toy grades arnt upgradable

A little bit of running

For those that saw my post yesterday. This is it running. Its slightly faster. It also works better than before. It used to cut out after a little running. Possibly due to the li ions not giving enough current. Its also survived a bit. Ill post the results of the inside later

I have created what I believe is gonna be a monster

To put it simply. I put a 12 volt system and put it on my Chinese car. It originally used 7.4 volts. Now it uses 12 volts. 14 when fully charged. I havent got a servo yet since the og one is a 5 wire. This isnt the original body. It also has cruise control because of the fact im using a plane remote. I have a feeling the battery is gonna last longer than the car
