What do you mean Rock Pirates truck? What was it originally? Rock Pirates doesn't make their own truck
@crawlingonallfoursRC8 күн бұрын
True. However, it’s custom and the foundation of the “truck” itself is Rock Pirates: chassis, servo mount, bed, and rear X-brace. The axles are Element and the body is RC4WD. I figured “Rock Pirates Element Enduro RC4WD Mojave II Hobbywing FlySky Pro-line truck” would sound waaay too long. LOL “Rock Pirates RC” or “Rock Pirates truck” is simply a generalization. :)

Does anybody know if the FOC function can be turned off????
@crawlingonallfoursRC17 күн бұрын
Someone knows. :) LOL Actually, you CAN turn it off in the programming. It's designated as the first option as "RPM / throttle matching". You can enable or disable it. If you're more for the challenge, then disabling it will cause it to function just like any other sensored brushless motor / ESC with a 1:1 throttle experience. If you come up to an obstacle the vehicle will slow or "stall" and you'll have to adjust your throttle as you climb over the obstacle. The results will test your skills and be more realistic compared to the smooth controlled action of FOC. Personally, I would never have the need to turn it off other than seeing the difference in performance, which could probably make for a good follow up video review. To be honest, FOC is a little bit of a cheat if you're looking for scale realism. However, the performance is AMAZING, and from the videos I've both seen and also created myself, I think the results of FOC look great on camera, so that's what I prefer. Thanks for posting the question!!

Excellent video that showcases the capability of the Fusion SE. I love your truck as well it is awesome. It has been recommended that I upgrade my Redcat Gen 7 Pro to this system for better performance as I had been talking about getting the Hobbywing 1080 ESC to replace the 40 that comes stock. I wonder if upgrading to the brushless system will mean changing the stock plastic spur gear and plastic gears in the transmission. Still lots to learn and thank you again for sharing.
@crawlingonallfoursRCАй бұрын
Thanks so much! Ironically, I actually changed the metal spur gear that came with this truck (eBay purchase) back to the stock plastic spur gear, because the metal pinion gear on the metal spur gear was crazy loud and very high pitched, like nails on a chalkboard to my ears. My transmission is fully stock, so no issues there. Metal gearing would theoretically last longer, but I don't think the investment will result in a noticeable performance gain. For things like that, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :) I'm certainly no expert in this hobby, but the longer I tinker around with hop ups and performance upgrades, I try to scrutinize every dollar spent and maximize the performance gain per dollar. This has helped me whittle down my upgrade money to the tires, brass, ESC, motor, and transmitter, probably in that order. With the Fusion SE combo, it takes care of two birds with one stone. The HobbyWing 1080 ESC is a great component! I use it in my OG Element Enduro Sendero truck. It made a big difference with wheel speed control, and it made an even bigger difference when I purchased a better transmitter. It's very smooth and quiet, certainly a TOP VALUE in the hobby. While I prefer the smooth action of the Fusion SE, I don't discount the performance of a [good] brushed ESC and motor, especially if you're looking for scale realism and life-like challenge. However, for the camera and just all around visual enjoyment, the brushless combo takes the cake! :) There are more expensive units out there, but again, it boils down to performance per dollar, which is why I chose the Fusion SE for all-around performance. Thanks again for your post!!

@crawlingonallfoursRCАй бұрын
Thank you!! :) :) The plain blue and white was already like that when I bought it (eBay), but I added the gunmetal on the outside, as well as the DIY decals and accessories. Then I sprayed it with a few layers of matte clear to take the plasticky shine away. Everything else pops that much better. Every so often, I go back over the body and re-spray with matte clear to fill in the lighter scratches. I sand down the deeper ones to minimize their appearance. It ends up looking like new!! This is definitely one of my favorite trucks; not quite a shelf queen, but I'm definitely careful with it. I'd like to custom print some fender wells for up angles like I was doing in this video.

Excellent man, I mentioned in my previous comment in your other vids that I just got two SCX24s...I was reluctant at first because of tiny screws nuts bolts and I'm not as young anymore at 45 and my eye sight not as great too plus I wanted to stick to 1/10 only. But then I bought it from a guy locally who modded and upgraded the C10 SCX24 that it like comp grade and I'm so happy driving it...see my video post in my channel here over the past couple weeks. Also I added a TRX-4 with MEUS Ripper converted from a Bronco but I have to upgrade more parts to it and contemplating on selling it. Anyways I came across another channel mostly focusing on 1/24 and 1/18 rigs and the builds he made you might be in this channel top here called "Angerhaus"

It's a custom box I made. If you FF>> to 8m 25s I talk about it with a little more detail. I used SketchUp to design it, and then I sent it to my friend so he could 3D print it. :) All you need to do is measure the gap between the bed and the body (after it's installed) and go to town. You could make it more rectangular like a regular box, but I preferred tapered sides to match the angle of the RP bed.

Absolutely buddy...that's why I love the rc crawling segment when I learned about it and later on got my TRX-4 Defender(turned in to a Jeep) and now added an Ascent Fusion plus two heavily modded SCX24s and a TRX4m. It's fun and satisfying running the trucks in different terrain how it can got over it and another fun element is using my smaller SCX24. Some RC guys don't like crawling and don't get it, they just like the bashing type RCs. I understand but they are both fun to me I have basher type monster truck RCs too I just like rock crawling more.
@crawlingonallfoursRC2 ай бұрын
The entire hobby fascinated me since I was a kid. However, each "segment" is specific to that area: Planes/Drones (air), Boats (water), Cars (roads), Bashers/Buggies (dirt), etc. I'm not coming down on anyone that likes those segments; I enjoy those segments as well (I have an on-road car and a buggy). Rock crawlers seem to offer the most "smiles per mile", considering the fact that you can take them practically anywhere. And yes, they can go in the water (to a reasonable degree) and in virtually any condition (dry, rain, muddy, snow, ice, etc.). Thanks for the post!! :)

@@crawlingonallfoursRCYou're welcome man, as I mentioned before I'm trying to grow my channel too with my RC fleet content. I recently added my Team Associated Rvial MT10 bashing session with my buddy's Traxxas Slash to change it up a bit to the flavour of those RC guys who like bashing and speed runs. The Rival MT10 had been a shelf queen for over a year since I bought it new now full of dust dirt after the run. My buddy and I both love the trail/crawling RCs we both just got the SCX24 and heavily modded and I love I can take it anywhere in my backpack when my family goes hiking or when I'm on photo project excursion in my photography business. My two SCX24 are great small yet very capable tiny rigs I can bring and weighs a little bit less than my 11+lbs TRX-4😂 Plus the SCX24 gets less attention from crowd when I'm driving. But when I drive my TRX-4 I'm glad people watch me and even ask questions about it. I gladly tell them and show that I have a KZbin channel and why I film it now. Have a great summer man.
@crawlingonallfoursRCАй бұрын
I agree. Keeping a good balance of RC vehicles will definitely widen your audience. 11lb crawler! That's a heavy rig! I have not weighed my Rock Pirates rig. I used to think it was 6 or 7 pounds, but the rails are steel and the wheels are weighted. I'm thinking 8 or 9. Go to your channel from the main KZbin dashboard (not your Studio dashboard). Create a QR code for your channel (right-click if you're using Chrome). Save/Download it as a picture and then transfer it to your phone. Then, when you're talking to people you can show them the QR code and it will take them directly to your channel. I went a little further and created a custom picture with a thumbnail of one of my trucks and my logo so they don't think I'm weird. LOL It helps out a lot.

Only thing I seen that's a weakness on that truck obviously the factory servos which were really fast for being Factory but burnt up within no time and then it has torque twist apparently now they're selling an axle for the rear end before you can flip it and hook it to the other output shaft on the rear of the transmission and be able to get rid of that torque twist but I think they only sell the booger in aluminum why would you have a rear aluminum axle in a plastic up front
@crawlingonallfoursRC4 ай бұрын
Yeah, I try to remain a little ginger on the steering to keep the stock servo as long as I can, but I already have that high on the list for future upgrades. :) Given the exceptionally low weight of this tiny rig, it seems torque twist is pretty common. I agree, doesn't make sense to just do the rear; but at the same time, it doesn't make sense to turn a $165 truck into a $300+ truck plus another $100+ in other upgrades (unless you're intentionally doing something with it, like comps). I'm not knocking other guys that want to do that (go for it!), but I don't have an endless income, ad money, or sponsors, so I can put up with the torque twist and focus on the more affordable upgrades like brass hubs, wheels, etc. Otherwise, I'll put it toward my 1/10 rigs.
