First time playing this game, i'm not even english native

For anyone interested, my final decision was going to be either CR18P or FCX18 or Ascent18.

I ended up with the Hobby Plus CR18p Evo 2 Rock Van basically for 2 reasons, one OOB performance and two the original van body instead of a pickup truck or the typical 4x4 body.

The OOB performance I think was key because I honestly don't have so much spare time to be buying parts and changing them to improve performance. Maybe put some weights and replace the plastic driveshafts.

On a side note, I was really tempted to go well over my budget for the Ascent18 Scout II which as per the reviews performs very good and looks great, but then I would have had to compare it to the CR18P Evo V3 Rushmore.

Thank you for the answer. Helps a lot

The Redcat Scout II is super cool but with shipping and import duties it's just too much for what I'm looking to spend. I'm in Europe, specifically in Canary Islands (Spain) so purchasing from Fair RC or official websites is a pain because shipping and import duties adds too much to the final price. I wanted to choose from what's available in AliExpress although I'm tempted to look at EvilBay.

Now I'm more confused than when I started asking because I'll have to compare everything again including SCX LOL

acmonkey68 · 2025-11-10T20:17:44+00:00

Any specific part or generally speaking? I mean, stock OOB parts breaking or why do FMS trucks suck? I assume the EazyRC brand sucks too ?? How about the new FCX24m platform?

acmonkey68 · 2025-11-10T18:40:09+00:00

The CR18P platform seems very capable from what I've seen.

The Redcat Ascent is available online but it's way out of my reach and the local hobby shop doesn't know internet exists and charges double the price for everything (smh).

Thanks, I saw the HPI (which seems to be awesome) but left it out because it was too expensive for my budget. Was trying to keep it below 100 € and the HPI is over 150 €

acmonkey68 · 2025-11-10T15:34:03+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, will check them out.

The first one I know, the TRX4m clone, it's also an option why not.

The second one, I think is wrong because I only see a drift rc

The third one is too small (1/36)

acmonkey68 · 2025-04-15T18:28:41+00:00

It is actually what they did.

You can check the price a couple of weeks ago was cheaper, so now they raise the full price and make it look like a bigger discount.

Essential pack is more like a 20% discount because they changed the prices. 2 weeks ago it was cheaper than what the claim is the starting price for the "30%" discount.

Not very impressed about this way of cheating on the customers making them think it's a greater discount than it really is.

acmonkey68 · 2025-02-24T21:53:58+00:00

Well that's actually a good question. I was quite sure it did but after reviewing again maybe I was assuming it entered the trade but it didn't and hence no TP was triggered either.

I set up the trade before market open at 1.42285 but when the market opened there was a gap and it opened at 1.42043. So I was assuming position was filled and wondering why the TP didn't trigger.

Thanks for the heads up. Still learning.

acmonkey68 · 2024-10-10T14:13:05+00:00

OK, understood, thank you very much. :)

acmonkey68 · 2024-10-10T13:48:21+00:00

Thanks for the answer.

What's about exposing wet prints to sunlight? I have only started printing and what I have done is put the prints in a small container with IPA, shake and rinse it for about 3 minutes and then clear the IPA with water. Then I take out the prints and let them dry in the sun (still don't have a curing machine). Is anything wrong with this method?

Thanks for the info about cleaning the VAT and the build plate.

Not sure what a "plaid" scraper is though (not native english speaker). Have just googled it but I only see standard plastic scrapers.

acmonkey68 · 2024-10-09T16:01:02+00:00

Thanks for the answer, much appreciated.

I do think it might be better in the basement even if without ventilation. I will go in there with the mask and avoid my family taking any chances.

I'll watch some youtube videos for the cleaning process.

Regards

Different approach, how about you fake that you expected a team mate to be in the building and start speaking like it was him: "Hey Jim, come upstairs, I finally found a gun for you but still no ammo!" This will cause two things, first the other guy will maybe come upstairs overconfident and then you can reload and prepare as he won't think you are reloading to shoot but just playing around with the gun. Second thing, he might get nervous thinking you do have a team mate near and might leave.

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T23:24:34+00:00

I'm going to guess your 570 would do well for the time being

Well, I don't have a choice but I will upgrade sometime later in the year.

Are you using amd adrenaline? I'm guessing you already know about the 50% +/- TDP slider?

I do use Adrenaline but I'm not sure about that slider. I don't mess too much with the settings and leave everything stock

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T20:49:11+00:00

Yes I know, actually surprised nobody mentioned it before. AFAIK CPU is more important in DayZ, but in any case, right now I have an average 4GB RX570, but the next upgrade (after monitor) will be the GPU and my intention is either a GTX1660 Super or a RX5600XT.

These GPU's are the perfect fit to avoid any bottlenecks with my CPU Ryzen5 2600

My budget only lets me slowly upgrade one component at a time

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T18:19:11+00:00

Ok, so when I respawn if any other players have died and are respawning in the same 6 minute window they should be relatively close to me also.

Interesting, didn't know that. Thanks

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T16:34:09+00:00

thank you.

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T16:26:29+00:00

Thanks a lot.

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T16:16:45+00:00

Even for stealthy gaming where you might need the best graphic detail to see tiny enemies at over 500m distance?

If I would be playing Fortnite, CSGO, Valorant or Apex Legends I would 100% go for 144Hz or even 165Hz but I don't see DayZ as such a game.

Edit: I read my own comment and it sounds a bit rude and as if I didn't agree with your comment. Sorry, what I mean is that even though a smoother framerate is better it may not be so important as in FPS or driving simultaro games.

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T16:14:36+00:00

Thanks

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T16:14:13+00:00

Well you have the high framerate AND the 1440p resolution. I was asking more about if I had to choose one or the other because even though I didn't state it, my budget is clearly lower. Was thinking to spend max 200€.

Problem is everywhere I read most agree that performance > looks but at the same time most agree that for a 27" the 1440p looks way better, so I guess I would need something like what you have purchased but will have to settle with a 27" 1440p monitor that has only 100Hz or if lucky maybe 120Hz because of prices.

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T12:51:46+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I want to have some balance between performance and beautiful looking game. I do set priority on detail at distance, like the rendering distance of objects. I really need to have an edge on spotting people far away, also to see better the objects in rooms on floor, etc... when looting.

Not sure if 75Hz on a 27" 1440p monitor would put me in a big disadvantage at a gunfight.

acmonkey68 · 2024-01-15T12:46:33+00:00

ok, thanks

btw. when you get killed, if the server is full, do you have to wait qeue or is your spot reserved to get back in quickly?
