Re: Wiring up a Receiver
I can make an educated guess based on page 10 and 11 of the manual here: http://www.ripmax.com/Instructions/p-cb6l.pdf
I believe the standard setup with steering on right stick and throttle+gear...

Re: Scania airport fire truck
Thank you!
I sprayed the bumper with TS-63 Nato black while painting some other body parts with TS-29 semi gloss black. Turns out bringing out two cans of different blacks is a bad idea. This is a...

Re: Scania airport fire truck
That's a good idea. I also need to add a bundle of fake hydraulic pipes and a thick water hose which should help. Counter sunk screws might help too.
After hours of trying to make functional scale...

Re: 3D Printing Test
Thank you for the very thorough answer! I'm currently paying 2-3 times of that for styrene, so that would negate any cost advantage. And I agree 100% on the torture of making a part more than once.

Re: Scania airport fire truck
Second attempt at making headlight guards. My 30w soldering iron struggled with heating that 1,5mm copper wire. Not sure how to mount them on the truck though.

Re: 3D Printing Test
Very impressive "sciencing". I wonder how this would compare to laminating cutouts from styrene plates, both in price and strength.

Re: 1930s dumptruck - Nylint
Very nice work on the servo mount design. Looking forward to see the final iteration. Do you have any plans for building something with the new WPL 6x6 chassis?

For the record, if it helps troubleshooting, the forum is super fast for me in Norway 99% of the time, using Edge or Chrome on Windows between 4pm and 8 pm EST.

That is the true skill to master. It's so difficult to throw away something you've worked on for weeks, but sometimes you just have to start fresh. The next time will always be easier.

If I don't split this into multiple posts, the forum page is going to end up miles long and very bandwidth heavy.

Re: Why can't companies figure out scale?
That does indeed look very off scale. How wide is the M35? The internet suggests 14 cm. Wikipedia says 236 cm for the real thing. There's obviously a lot of wiggle room depending on if it's wheel to...
