4bangen's official rc tread.

rc tread? So, the tread on his rc cars?

[LaserSVT]

what a day. First got pulled over while standing in my front yard. Cop that sits up the road said it flew past a couple times so he clocked it. I was doing 37 in a 30. LOL He was real cool about it and wanted to order one so i gave him the info.

Very next pack the wind gusts got up to 22 and one of my cells dropped suddenly so it flew straight into a 40' tall tree and got stuck on top like a Christmas tree star. Luckily I live in a hispanic neighborhood so lots of tree trimming specialists. My neighbor rigged a rope and got to the next branch to shake it down. I suck at sports but i made damn sure to catch the quad. I only broke all four props. Only have two spares left. Hope my orders show up quickly. LOL

One cell in the pack dropped off? What was the overall voltage of the pack? Seems like you hurt it when you drained it so low like you said earlier in the week

[LaserSVT]

Cell one was 2.9, cell two was 3.59 and cell three was 3.61. Yeah, i think the pack is hurt.
I banked hard and throttled out to avoid the tree but it just didn't have the punch it normally has. Guess i am grounded until the new batteries show up.

I had to do the jump trick off my truck battery to bring the cells inline to be charged. 3 seconds brought the cells to 3.61 across the board. There is a chance my new charger may be able to fix it but at $13 each i think I would just toss the dang thing and not risk losing the quad. When the monitor battery shows up i plan on going farther away and dont want any power issues.

Toss it. When packs are $100+ is the only time I try to save shit.

[LaserSVT]

Now I can start having some real fun! Get rid of that crap battery it came with and enjoy some flight time! Happy happy!

I'm up to five fpv flights on my FPV bomber. Sunday after flying till the wind got too bad, I was itching for more FPV! So I pulled the camera pod off my b-17, grabbed my hot glue gun, my SC-10, and some foam, and whipped this up.



All went well till I did a full throttle pass into a pole and broke the frame. lol


Other than that, I snagged some screen caps of a combat round off my buddies in flight camera from the weekend before last. I'm flying the bomber and have a few fighters on my tail. I got hit four times that flight and amazingly was almost able to land. It winged over at the last moment and piled in on approach. The bomber was repaired and flew again this past weekend. lol.

[4bangen]

and I made this!

[LaserSVT]

LMFAO!!!!!!

Dude watching your RC flights is what has helped push me to get back in the air.
I don't have your building talent though. I love the foamies you build.

[WOMACK03]

I agree Laser, Matt's foamies are awesome.

I got all of my FPV racer stuff in, and built the wiring harness last night. I had to return my motors to HobbyKing, due to only 3 motors being in the box......assholes...., so I ordered more motors from amazon, while HK fixes their mistake, which will be here today.

I got the red/blue strobe board also, so Mine will look like the cops from the 5th element.

[4bangen]

thanks for the complements guys, but my stuff isn't near as good as most of the stuff
i see online.
I'm trying to make my stuff nicer, but
my A.D.D pulls me away from a project if I take to long. I have a bunch of half nice unfinished projects collecting dust.

[WOMACK03]

I'm finished! I'll fly and tune it in the next few days. The FPV is working well, so I'm happy.

Is that the 600mw VTX? Also switch that antenna ASAP!

[LaserSVT]

Cool flier there. Thats some LED array! LOL

What is on the right rear mount? Looks like a battery buzzer with LEDs.

[4bangen]

Yes kill that antenna with FIRE!
