Extending wheelbase using wheel hex extenders
These photos show the use of aluminum wheel hex extenders on a Hotshot. They can increase wheelbase by 20mm per extender. To be able to use the long nut required for tightening the wheel, it may be necessary to drill the hole on the rim to make it slightly larger. This Hotshot is equipped with […]
Choosing a transmitter…
One of the often ignored factors to consider when choosing a transmitter is whether you will also need to control with one hand only (you will need to do this if another hand is busy taking photo): The first one shown allows pretty easy single-hand control. This one is more difficult to handle with just […]

They are poor at jumping too. In fact, they are suited to running on pathway and land surface that are not flat nor smooth enough […]

Small fiber glass RC boat (especially a full body hydro) and brushless system
This is a full body hydroplane. The problem with a BL setup for a small fiber glass full body hydro is that the boat is just too light. It becomes pretty jumpy – to be precise, it is quite uneasy to keep it from blowing over or crashing, as it constantly rides on a cushion […]
