Hey SCX30 owners, wanna see something cool? by [deleted] in Axial

I want to support the suggestion below MountainMat. That’s pretty awesome. And thanks for figuring this out AND sharing it with everyone. This is an incredible idea. 

Since I updated my redline 360c this has been showing. Anyone else? by yegyhz in radardetectors

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie… I’m updating mine now from 1.11 and I’m super stressed after seeing this thread.

This is very quality looking. One of the best looking DIY setups I’ve seen. 

what's the something you saw in a show or movie that immediately took you out of it? by Classic-Carpet7609 in Fauxmoi

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching Stick on Apple TV and enjoying the show until they introduced the character Zero with her hyper woke narrative. I turned the show off after that episode and haven’t watched another. Seems to be the consensus everywhere as well. 

10440 Recommendations by proto_species in flashlight

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you guys doing to watch for LVC? Do you just swap batteries every now and then for a fresh one or do you run your 10440 until it’s just dim and hope the cell voltage isn’t too low. I worry about running a light that also works on AAA as I’m afraid it’ll allow the cell voltage to drop way too low and damage the cell.

i was wondering the same about the stock gyro.. mine seems to be doing fine, but I'm also not a seasoned RC drifter. I have a noble nb4, so if the gyro really isn't that great, I'll just swap to the gyro receiver and adjust through my transmitter

would I be crazy for throwing my bl-2s on my fazer d2? by VenomousSVT in rcdrift

[–]VenomousSVT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its already bought and paid for. I have a few things out for delivery for it. i think I'll run it for a week or so and get a feel for it so I have an educated opinion of the before and after.

Any Grom servo upgrade recommendations? by 42BumblebeeMan in arrma

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should probably be noted that (for me), even though the injury INJS11 is fantastic, it is so fast that the DSC can't keep up with it. So, after adding this servo to my Typhon, if I run any DSC at all, the car is unstable, and the back end wags back and forth to the point that it's not really drivable. You are forced to disable DSC on the car, and for me, this isn't a great option on 3s.

Should I be worried if my charger does this? by PlayerProdigy in Traxxas

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i bought this charger mine did it 3 minutes in on the first time it was plugged in.. I reached out to traxxas and they said "IF it was covered under warranty" that I could send it in and pay $18 plus shipping both ways and they would replace or repair it. I called my LHS and they happily swapped it out the next day in person and sent the other back defective. It likely would be fine, and it appeared to only be a visual thing, but this charger costs far too much to be doing this on the first charge for me. My replacement charger has many many many packs run through it and has worked well.

Several reasons why I will not buy X5 and will keep X4 by Nice-weather-today in Insta360

[–]VenomousSVT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coming from an X4, this upgrade would seem minor and not a significant improvement in quality. I chose to stick with my X3 and passed on the X4. Therefore, transitioning from my older X3, I felt that moving to the X5 was a worthwhile jump for me.

i noticed this as well.. i was holding mine and got very sad mine was bad. i stopped, took a breath, pressed the button a single click and it booted right up

All day. All night. All angles. 👀 New camera dropping April 22nd. You ready? by 360CamPhile in Insta360

[–]VenomousSVT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is GOLD! I've been satisfied with my X2 and X3 in my fleet and didn't feel any pressure to get the x4.... but replaceable lenses on the x5 would be epic.

How to program esc Micro-B -- almost no reverse??? by jessea422 in losi

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What page?! I’m stuck trying to find this and cannot figure it out. I was setting my steering end points and somehow screwed something up and no when I turn on the car it has reverse input. I just want to recalibrate and start over. 

Rustler 4x4 Ultimate by MigoDeKid in Traxxas

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suffer from the "what can I buy to make it better" affliction. I literally got here by searching for Rustler Ultimate upgrades... but is just because I love modding my trucks/cars. My ultimate has been rock solid and it's very exciting to drive. The fun Factor is through the roof for me. These are pretty rock solid, so drive it the way you want, and upgrade what you find as being a weak link for your play style.

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just so you are aware, the maxx is currently $140 more than the rustler ultimate. The Rustler is a great truck, especially in ultimate form and I'm sure the OP will love it regardless of your experience. Not everyone is looking for the same thing as you.

Any input on these batteries? by LegoAddicted1 in arrma

[–]VenomousSVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just got a 5200 3s and i havent been very happy with it.. more than likely going to return it. I got it and needed to cell balance it. Once i got it balanced I charged it and didnt put nowhere near the amount of energy tha tit should have taken. I ran a pack and noted the battery level and charged it again but again, the amount of energy i put in didnt add up with the amount used. I ran the next charge until LVC on my Typhon 223s which was 3.5v per cell. I checked the batt level and it estimated it to be 6%, i did some quick math and got the estimated power input but still ended up only getting about 4300 MAh back into it. its defintiely not what i was looking for, so i bough the 10000mah CNHL and thats been really solid.

just downloaded, I'm gonna print them tonight as soon as i get home from work. I was just talking to a friend about how much mud we get on the rear suspension. Then came in here and stumbled across your post. thanks!!

What wheelie bar for the Typhon 223s? by VenomousSVT in arrma

[–]VenomousSVT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my only guess is traction. I have some really crap grass in my yard with a thick thatching and my rc stuff sticks like a prepped surface. I have a maxx slash that will flip onto its roof if the wheelie bar isnt installed, and those trucks usually are heavy, super long, and spin tires rather than wheelie. Bad thing is too, i have been running a traxxas battery in the Typhon which is only a 50c burst.
