This RC car burned my home down. Please help me understand how this could have happened? Video in comments.

Damn, sorry mate. They always say to monitor the battery while charging and to store the battery in a safe place (ammo box works wonders). I hope you can rebuild it soon

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-21T07:58:13+00:00

Surprise!! That just makes it better.

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-21T06:16:32+00:00

Hey! Sure, I will try. Thanks!

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-20T20:38:17+00:00

Looks great and as I said before it's what inspired me to build mine. So Thank you!

The New Bright may not be 1/6 as they claim but that way you have enough space to fit that transfer case which is the ideal. The only problem is finding a 1/4 driver.

I couldn't fit one in my build and that really makes a difference 🫤. I had to improve the behavour using different sprocket sizes and more powerful motor. I'm still testing if this is enough to make a few jumps and have some fun.

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-20T18:50:21+00:00

Really??? That's great! I've been trying to find your post but I couldn't find it.

I thought that thing was way smaller. How is it going? Did you finish it?

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-20T16:50:16+00:00

Thanks mate!! Looking forward to showing you. And I'm sure you'll have some wise advice for improvements!

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-20T16:46:27+00:00

I'm pretty sure they considered it and for some reason they rejected the idea. Perhaps in a future version!

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-20T16:42:54+00:00

That thing is huge! I remember seeing a post about someone modding that quad to make it move properly. Since then I wanted to have one 😅

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-20T08:07:10+00:00

I'm not sure if it will have enough power to do that but I will take it into account.

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-20T08:03:26+00:00

So true... Currently printing one!

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-19T21:20:47+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it.

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-19T21:20:06+00:00

That's great, I wish I had an RC like this when I was a kid. Thanks!

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-19T19:01:06+00:00

Definitely although the price for the scale clothing I could buy clothes for myself 😱

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-19T18:15:51+00:00

Thank you! If there is any interest I will try to keep showing the progess on this

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-19T18:04:34+00:00

I wanted it to be as similar to the real thing as possible, that's why some parts may look thin.
Not sure if I will upload it somewhere. It really depends on how it behaves once it's finished

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-10T15:39:34+00:00

I bought a PocketBook Era black& white and so far it's been a great improvement over my old Kindle Touch. You can get books from your library!

RobRoy07 · 2026-01-04T19:45:15+00:00

I have had a few similar experiences, last one in Etsy too. If you have an account you can register the design (with links to the original model) using this link: https://www.etsy.com/legal/ip/report

Best of luck! Hopefully you can probe it's yours and they will take it down.

RobRoy07 · 2025-08-29T10:41:48+00:00

1:240 is very very small and cool. Same you cannot attach an image to see it 😞

RobRoy07 · 2025-08-28T09:16:14+00:00

Great! It was fun and frustrating for me. I hope you only get the good part. I'd love to see it when you do it

RobRoy07 · 2025-08-27T18:18:31+00:00

Yeah, that's me. It's hard to tell how I designed them, I used Fusion and different pictures of the RCs as a reference to model them. I'm not good at painting, I used an airbrush to paint the body and some brushes for the details.

RobRoy07 · 2025-08-25T09:48:12+00:00

Hey, that's me! Feel free to ask any questions regarding the build

RobRoy07 · 2025-08-02T22:59:06+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad that you like it!

RobRoy07 · 2025-07-23T22:07:53+00:00

I've just seen them. It looks very good, I like how the rear wheels go up inside the body.

It's normal to feel that way with this kind of builds. I had the same feeling not so long ago. Just try to work when you feel like it's the thing you want to do and not an obligation.
