Will the transmitter bind to other Flysky receivers? If something like the R4P works that could be nice and cheap.

Thank you for the content you make. You mentioned drag brake in the beginning of the video. It’s my only real complaint with the stock ESC. Does drag braking improve with the Injora ESC?

could you do a video comparing the redcat to a deadbolt, the closest priced competitor. which would you chose if you had $50 upgrade budget
@wingnutbert96856 ай бұрын
???- Something that I've thought of and wanted to ask you. With the ESC's and motors both contributing to the slow speed abilities and control smoothness, has anyone looked into the potentiometers in the remotes? It occurred to me that no one ever mentions them or mod'ing them to get more control resolution. Cheap crap vs good quality can make a world of difference in guitars/basses, for example. Just food for thought if you ever are inclined to open a controller and do some mod'ing. 😁

The only think I don’t like about the MB100 is the reverse speed, I think 50% is just to slow, 75% would be a better option.
@2fmrc6 ай бұрын
Yeah it’s very noticeable in my Trx4m. It’s not as bad in this truck with the wheel speed it has. Especially on 3s. Much more usable
@Steve_J816 ай бұрын
You should check out the Radiolink Rc4gs, its cheaper than the gt5, has better placement of a rws nob, the batteries last longer and you can easily power it with 18650.

Yeah I just wish they’d update it a bit. Looks like an 80s transmitter lol. I normally just use my rc8x if I go radiolink.

I’ve been looking at these same Injora esc’s for a replacement on my hobby plus cr -18! It’s a very good Esc. I also think the esc in the Redcat is very smooth and quiet as well. Not sure what anyone has to complain about it unless they got a defective one. It’s a great “out of the box MC!” 😎👍🏻Great video !

I just bought this ESC for my scx24. Its amazing. My only gripe about it is the Motor and Servo connectors being so tall. I had to redesign my 3d printed chassis to allow them to fit. Overall it crawls great!. Im also using a dumbo DDF350 transmitter.

Anything that ditches the whine is music to my ears. I can't take that high pitch! Great vid Matt! And thanks for doing a truck with budget/free mod's for those of us with little to no budget. It's nice to see two of the same rigs side by side. One budget and one with the Gucci treatment. It's the only way to really see what makes a difference and what is just nice to do if you have the money. Encouraging to those who might shy away from going to a local comp, thinking they can't compete b/c they haven't got a grand to drop on the latest and greatest. Be a shame to loose folks just for that.

I don’t have the issue with it whining though, mine is pretty quiet compared to Axial scx24. I added Injora white deep dish beadlock wheels with LGRP Trench King tires. The look is awesome and does help with crawling better lines. Thank you again Matt!

I ran it for about 2 seconds and the servo stripped lol. It has a different transmission so you can’t really flip the rear axle and then change the shaft. I haven’t really got to run it enough to know if it still has the terrible torque twist to be honest.
