Receiver question

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the micro receivers, are they not compatible with spectrum esc? I've been getting my rigs bind to one tx, last night I tried to bind my coyote to my gt5 and it won't do anything. No throttle or steering, my TF2 and two other vs410 are working fine but the coyote does nothing. If I put back the spectrum receiver it works fine. Thanks for any help!

So a year ago I bought an axial scx24 bronco in the classic red. It was awesome, I loved it (as my other vehicles were or still are awaiting repairs) it came to phoenix with me from the UK. It did route66, and came home. Now at home theres another scx24 bronco, eldest daughters in green, and scx30 jeep youngest sons, and the eldest son and missus both have 1.18 trx4m defenders. So i thought fuck it we need, need not want a recovery vehicle. So i bought a terranaut, it made its first proper run at famjam at went places a vehicle like that had no right going🤣. I need upgrades and a trailer for it (preferably one that can have a rc tank on the back)

Rig of the Month 8/26 Took the Rushmore crawler out for some backyard rock crawling after the rain

Got some fresh trail time in with the blue Rushmore rig today. The damp dirt and loose gravel made for some great low-grip climbing, and the warm headlights really pop in the overcast lighting.
Setup is holding up great so far—might look into weighting the front wheels next to get a bit more planted traction on steeper inclines.
How’s everyone else spending their trail runs this weekend?

SCX24 Receiver help

3 Upvotes

The receiver and remote that came shipped together won't connect to each other. I've paired them multiple times and they just won't connect to each other. It didn't come with a wire to connect them physically so I've just been trying to sync the receiver to the remote and it refuses to connect. Help would be appreciated

Adding to the fleet...

3 Upvotes

Seeking advice/ideas: We have a 1/18 scale Hilux crawler and a 1/10 scale Base Camp. Both are tons of fun and we've done various upgrades, likely with more to come. We're hoping to add two more crawlers to the fleet. One would be something for my nephew's friends to use when one of them tags along. Ideally something low-cost but still repairable. Probably 1/10 or 1/12 scale. (Not looking to do upgrades, but I would like to be able to keep it running.) We'd also like to add another good quality 1/10 scale crawler to our collection. (Open to RTR or a kit build.) Do y'all think we should stick with the scx10.3 platform to maximize convenience and the relevance of our repair/upgrade experience? Or should we branch out to learn a different manufacturer/platform?

What would you get for neighborhood kids to inevitably beat up on? And what would you get to keep up with and maybe out do the Base Camp?

Question Spektrum Electronics Question

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm running a Spektrum Firma 2100kv sensored motor and Smart esc separate combo (non2in1) in my VS4-10 Fordyce, and can't seem to get it anywhere near as smooth as the Hobbywing Fusion Pro that I run in my Trx4. I have the Spektrum program card V2 and would really appreciate any advice on what specific settings everyone is running to get this thing dialed in nicely.

Also I am using a Dx5 Rugged and want to know if I need to calibrate the esc through just the set button or also through the transmitter. Hopefully I can get this truck running smoothly to its full potential. Thanks.
