    Parts Wanted Can This Be For Real or a Scam?

    Yeah a 10PX with receiver for 86.00? Nahh. I’d steer clear.

    Be careful Scammers newest scam

    What would the world be like without a criminal lurking around everything you try to do? Would it be boring? If so, sounds like a little boredom wouldn’t be so bad…😂😂😂

    Here’s what my “thunderboat” looks like now

    Here’s what I did to cover up the holes. I think they look cool. They come in your basic aluminum color but I painted these with flat black auto primer. I got them from Esprit Model. They specialize in RC sailplanes. They are on the web. You have to get the heat generated by the tuned pipe...

    Receiver battery pack and charger recommendations

    Life Packs 100%. I got back into the hobby back in 2021 and have a couple packs that are 3 years old and going strong. You won’t have to worry about switching out packs. You’ll be good for the day and possibly for the weekend. If you do want to do a balance charge to top off that’s no...

    Yes Frank, here’s the link from what I ordered last Oct. https://a.co/d/b933jUf Yikes the price went up like 50%. The plus side is you could probably do 1000 receivers with this bottle. A little goes a long way.

    I’ve been doing silicone conformal coating as well on my Futaba R134sbs receivers. I apply with a micro applicator (I got a whole bunch of these applicators on Amazon for like 5.00). I don’t coat the pins or antenna plugs. The stuff dries in like 10 min and I do 3 coats and put everything back...

    These are all I use. Amazing batteries.

    100% Grim. I’ve been using them for 4 years and some of the packs I have are that old. I see no signs that the batteries have experienced any wear. They don’t form a memory either. I top them off before a day of running but have gone out two weekends in a row without topping off on one or...

    COG on Zipp Missile

    Looks good to me. I use the cable setup for throttle on all my gas boats.

    COG on Zipp Missile

    Yes. No problem. I’ve actually gone running two weekends in a row without balance charging in between, although I would recommend balance charging before each day of running. The LIFE batteries aren’t volatile like LIPO batteries and don’t form a memory like the old school batteries do. So...

    COG on Zipp Missile

    I use LIFE batteries. 2S 1800mah. The particular brand I’ve been using is Protek.

    COG on Zipp Missile

    Try the stick on weights first like OSRACER suggested. You can get them in various versions. You don’t necessarily need the repackaged ones RC companies sell. You can just get stick on wheel weights ( automotive tire balancing). Handle it however you want just a suggestion. Once you get it...

    I like the sound of 8 oz vs 24 oz any day of the week!

    Tubing Expander

    I agree the length of the swage is a limitation. It would be nice to have at least another 1/4 in with this particular tool.

    Tubing Expander

    I just used one exactly like that except it was marked for standard instead of metric. Heat the pipe with a torch and then start working the tool. You’ll want to turn the pipe as you are gently squeezing on the tool so that your swage is even. It takes a few min but works fine. I used mine...

    Here’s what my “thunderboat” looks like now

    First of all, cut the tube that’s glued into the boat back some. With the collet loose, you want some room to work. Also, you need to get a shaft saver on the flex cable between the collet and where the cable exits. Most use a 5/16 wheel collar installed on the flex cable. If your cable...
