Im new to r/c car world. I just ordered the losi mini t that'll ship on Oct. https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/1-18-mini-t-2.0-2wd-stadium-truck-brushless-rtr/LOS01019.html I bought 2 spare batteries from the drop-down.. now I'm wondering should I ditch the usb charger for something better? I plan to get a charge bag.. do those silver lunch bags really hold up to a battery explosion.

Price range is going to be important. I picked up a losi mini t 2.0. It has all you need in the box, and has been great fun.

I'm new to all this, and wondered if I have this right. Can ya'll tell me, would I be able to order this fpv set up : Nano cam/tx combo EV800D Goggles and plug it into the aux 3 on the ecs of the SCX24 for some FPV mini crawling? It seems like it'd be as easy as that but that also makes me feel like I'm missing stuff.

Enos Shenk posted:Maybe. Sometimes the servo channels on receivers are rather current limited. Personally I'd go with a basic BEC like this You'd just splice the input into your ESC battery connection, and it outputs a nice solid high current 5v for you to run your FPV gear. Without the BEC you could brownout your receiver (Where it can't supply enough oomph to run everything). Admittedly that's not as big of a deal on the ground as opposed to an FPV plane, but it's still not good. Rad. That was my concern, but the manual didn't really say what its output was. This seems dumb but I'm giddy at the thought lol

Admittedly that's not as big of a deal on the ground as opposed to an FPV plane, but it's still not good. So, back to this. Between this and the drone thread.. My thoughts are between 2 set ups. Around $300. Skyzone Cobra X + Runcam Splitcam nano 4 / vtx Around $160. EV800D + TBS Unify Nano/cam combo I want to be able to plug it into both an Axial 1:24 SCX24 crawler or the losi 1:18 mini t. And also, since its nano think i could also strap it onto my DJI Mini with a 1s (100g payload) for FPV for funsies.i would like having the 4k video for youtube for friends, but i have no youtube star aspersions. It seems going sky zone gets me the best analog but should I just go cheaper, decide if I like it, then get digital and sell? It seems the skyzones are great but also close to the next upgrade. Either route I'd be looking to add the BEC. Man soo many options.... Leaning towards going ev800d and see how into it i go?

Does anyone know of a good kit of battery connectors? I went to HobbyTown and they didn't have anything. I just had to buy 4 packs of things to get what I was after.. when if I just had a box full of random connectors I'd be able to clean poo poo up. I looked around GetFPV with no luck. I got my little FPV Crawler set up and working. Right now I'm using a seperate 1s battery to power the camera. I bought the BEC suggested up thread but I still need to make a Y connector. Also, do the connector ends need to be soldered? I'm used to making my own ethernet cables. Do they crimp like that? I'll get a DVR video tomorrow of it in action to share! Ended up with : Axial SCX24 C10 + Skyzone Cobra S + Wolfwhoop WT03 camera. Waiting on some Foxeer Lollipop 2.5dBi antenna to get a better signal. But I'm quite excited.

Oh also, this cam/vtx gets hot as gently caress. I've googled for a heatsink, but didn't see anything right off. Any suggestions for chilling it out?

T1g4h posted:Not gonna lie, this makes me want to get some sort of FPV setup for my SCX10 Its rad as hell and a hoot to play with. A buddy has printed a camera tray for me. Once I got that, I'll be able to swap from the SCX24 -> Losi mini T easily. I think for the FPV setup I'm about $200 in. Could have gone with EV800D for about 70 less I'd guess. Everyone should do this.

Spatule posted:I have negotiated a part of the yard for a 1:24 crawler course with the wife. It'll be roughly the size of 12 to 14 washing machines. This is a strange unit of measure... I'd just grab some rail ties and do rock piles. It'd be fun if the rock features could rock/roll to make placement tricky.
