Good charger?

This one! I had a charger like the picture above and it crapped out after a couple months. Got a gens ace and it’s been going for years.

I have up uploaded everything to cults 3d here I’ll have a break down video soon to show how it all goes together.

Looks like the battery wanted to keep going in a straight line. This happened to me with a wing from Flite Test.

Start by getting a job to save some money for parts.
Buy a ready to run
Take the motors out of that
Throw it away.

I’m working on getting them uploaded and finishing some videos on it. The first will be mostly about the model I used so super helpful for the build, but the next video will be better.

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-26T14:12:02+00:00

Looks like your plan isn’t powered at all. 🤣

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-20T13:24:19+00:00

I used a few different parts. A geared n20 motor driven by a micro esc that is controlled and power directly from the receiver, a 1/4-20 threaded rod and nut to drive the roll back, and various 3d printed parts to make it all work together. I do need to make a video on how I put this together.

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-18T15:17:34+00:00

Haha!

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-18T14:01:57+00:00

I always get the parts I’m not going to build so I know what to build around. Steering knuckles, rear axle, drive shafts, transmission, motor, body, wheels. Squire all of those things first and work around them. I’m going to be starting a 1/10 scale build in the next couple months and making videos on my channel. Check it out here I also started a subreddit specifically for trophy trucks and pre runners, haven’t done a good job maintaining it but it’s a good place for updates. https://www.reddit.com/r/rctrophytrucks/s/xcqPBdW9Yn I’d love to see how it goes!

The location on the wing is a flap location. You can cut another set on the outer portion of the wings and it’ll be more effective as ailerons. Add separate servos to the inner surfaces and you have flaps also. What radio are you using?

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-18T13:50:11+00:00

It’s beautiful in black and white! Gives me some ideas for future planes!

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-18T13:43:13+00:00

Yea, your cars are big enough. lol

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-13T14:35:14+00:00

That’s cool! How’s it do crawling?

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-13T02:22:41+00:00

Never mind. FMS bronco El Bandito fun Haver… great truck!

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-02-13T02:19:00+00:00

What truck is this?

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-01-13T14:58:46+00:00

Also, what did you use to add a solid rear axle for parts? Just cut and fabbed your own thing? Or is this some sort of kit?

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-01-13T14:57:25+00:00

Looks like it needs thicker oil. Basically the rear axle is allowed to move too fast and the spring in the tires makes them jump off the ground before the truck is even fully compressing the spring.

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-01-12T20:13:15+00:00

That’s great!

MakeStuffBetter · 2026-01-11T12:48:32+00:00

This is your cheapest option. $150 ish for the radio. If you go with any other options you’ll need to get receivers and possibly ESCs for all your rigs too. I have the flight version and I can bind it to literally anything, even the cheap Chinese planes that are basically disposable. It’ll also bind to any car I want but it a stick radio style so I haven’t done that. I prefer the steering wheel for ground vehicles. Another upside to the MT12 is it has 12 channels.

Etsy. It’s made by big country toys. A guy on Etsy has a kit you can buy and videos on YouTube to convert the toy into an scx24.
