RCP Compound

[RCP57]

Well I traded in my hermit status this last week. I had few separate out of town friends end up at our place over the last week so there was a lot of socializing and hanging out going on. Yesterday things went quiet around here again so after some work related stuff I played a little with the big toys...

[RCP57]

I haven't spent much time working on the compound over the last week but I have spent a few minutes here and there running my Dozer conversion. The more I run it the more I enjoy it! I'm actually really impressed with it considering it is a light little machine.

I originally controlled the blade tip using the electronics from a 360 degree servo but I couldn't get it to stop creeping forward all the time. I received a package from Hobby King last week containing some of their cheap esc's so I swapped out the servo guts for one of them and now it works perfect. It's nice to be able to angle the cutting edge where you want it as well as tilt the balde. I am not very good at running it yet but it's fun to try!
