Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build

thebat: You won't save any money by choosing Beier over say the Tamiya MFU but you have 10000% more setup options that Tamiya offers with the Beier setup!

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build

Started working on hooking up the lights and Beier soundmodul. This is almost as tedious as soldering up a quad copter!

Re: DrDiff's Tamiya Freightliner Cascadia Evolution Build

My thoughts on the Beier USM-RC-2

Well I don't recommend the Tamiya MFU as it lacks proper protection for use of LiPo Batteries.

Beier allows you to use any ESC or you can use their ESC and...

I finally got all the light bulbs installed, and the truck finished. It has been a long time coming. This has to be one of the most challenging and satisfying RC builds I have ever done.

OK now that I know how to get the proper resistance value,

Do you have a suggestion where I can get them?

Re: Newbie totally lost

The problem is Tamiya set the low voltage cut off for Nicad or NiMH batteries.

This voltage is FAR TOO LOW to safely use a LiPo!

People will realise this when they see their 1-2K investment...

I need a source for brown red brown and red violet brown resistors.

I am new to the learning curve here.

Re: Beier sound controllerand light setup

I run 3S lipo Packs (I use them in my crawlers, Quad Copters, Airplanes and RC Cars.

That would give 11.2 volts fully charged and cut off at 9.6 volts.

What resistor would you suggest?
