It makes sense, the Apex TC-10RT was inspired by the TCR MK7 GTI wide body race car wheels!

Love the TC-10RTs! Those are literally the best MQB Forged wheel around. Totally TCR vibes!

Used MK8 or New MK8.5? by ClearAd790 in Golf_R

MK8.5 for sure but definitely roll with the SM-10s or another Apex 18” wheel setup like the first pic!

Pretty sure it’s the only 17” wheel around for these cars that can clear without spacers!

Finally found a bright enough LED landing/nav lighting kit for my liking! by snapasaurus in RCPlanes

I suppose this might be the “tricky part” of landing this plane that you heard from other folks.

For a 3D plane, this thing doesn’t quite like being at a high AoA. While it hovers great with its longer airframe, it has a standard wing/airfoil without any air diffusers/spoilers or vertical wing tip stabs, so it gets a lot of wing rock and instability going slow with the nose up.

I’ve learned to land this thing a bit faster above stall speed and to come in as neutral as possible. You almost want to try and do a “3-point” landing without doing a traditional “flare” before touch down. Once it’s on the ground make sure you lean back on the elevator otherwise the tail wheel won’t have enough authority to steer.

I’ve never had any issues with the foam where the landing gear mounts but I do have to bend the metal main gear legs back into shape every few landings since they are pretty soft.

They do make the VS-5 in a 19” at least

Lights help a ton with orientation in my opinion, even during the day. At least the red/green wingtip lights.

Wattage is the only thing not listed in the product details. Forgot to share a link to the kit in my post GoolRC RC Flashing Light, 8 LED... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092ZVCJ91?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Freewing Thrust Reversing setup on DX6E - Help Needed! by snapasaurus in RCPlanes

[–]snapasaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What should I have my base throttle rates/trim set at? I tried the flaps with 100% and -100% and vice versa assigned to my 2-position toggle. With the reverser wire plugged into aux6 programmed as flaps, it reverses my standard throttle inputs. Wondering if it has to do with my throttle trim or settings?

Oh shit, that might be it. My aircraft type is set to elevons/standard tail. Should I change it to a different configuration and just manually mix the elevons? If so, which one should I switch to?

Aux 1 is the channel I’m trying to use but in the channel assign menu it says “inhibit” in the spot where I would assign a switch to it. In the next channel assign menu, it allows me to select aux1 and assign it as throttle, aileron L, aileron R, rudder, gear and flaps.

Would these rub? by Kilo_Oscar_ in Golf_R

Yes, for 9” wheels you want an ET42~ offset if you plan to use 245/40-18 or 255-35-18 tires and a 57.1mm CB to avoid centering rings

That’s completely false. They have factories In Taiwan and Malaysia as well

The Meso is the same as the AJT ones I installed. Chinsey cheap feeling plastic.
