Re: 1/10 scale heavy truck- power consumption...
I have to say you're doing some very impressive engineering.
I'm surprised to see you're getting numbers that low. Based on my experience with my faster r/c cars, I spec'ed out my 1/14 truck on...

Re: Movie Optimus Prime build
I'd say the most common stuff for sticking styrene together in Europe is Revell Contacta professional cement and Tamiya extra thin cement. The Tamiya cement is completely liquid and is applied while...

Re: New to tractor trailers

Re: Scania airport fire truck
Some clips from the first test of the roof monitor and pump mounted on the truck. Seems to be sucking air somewhere, possibly the filter on the supply side. Nozzle also needs some work.
The pump is...

Re: Scania airport fire truck
You're right. If I find or make some good looking people, I might want one of them to lean an elbow on the window, so I could cut it a bit more then.
Minor update.
Did a very rough trimming of...

Re: Hobbs Reefer From a Tamiya Semi Trailer
In case the user isn't active anymore, I can make a guess on question 2. It looks like it could be 4.8mm or 6.3mm wide styrene strips on 0.5 or 1mm thick styrene plate :...

Re: Remote LED switching with Arduino examples.
We can absolutely get that working! Did you test the first example in the first post? That example should turn on the onboard LED at pin 13 when the channel goes below 1300 us. You can change that to...
