Radiolink RC8X Winch Mixing
I wanted to show three different different ways simply assigning the winch to a channel, but the other two involve setting up some mixing and some dummy channels. I hope I’ve explained it well enough in this video that it makes sense.
Sorry for the background noise. My 3-D printer had its fan on in the background and I don’t have a means of background noise canceling.
Thanks for watching.

How I set up Desert Lizard shocks

I haven’t found any videos I’ve looked that do a good job of explaining how or why to set up these shocks in any certain way.

  • @jasonevans333
    @jasonevans333 3 місяці тому

    Depending on what tpu you are using there are settings to change to make softer printed inserts. Infill needs to be set to 3 percent with gyroid pattern. Sometimes even 2 percent if 95a tpu. Also some more very important settings are tp change wall loops to 1 instead of 2, make sure thin wall detection is on and random seam postion. That will 100 percent change those stiff 3d printed ones you made.

    Problem is they don't suit the centre screws of 1.9 wheels. Not the ones that the same people who sell these weights anyway. 1.9 have smaller centre screws same as outer bead screws and 2.2 have correct threads for these. Just checked again and they say suits both. Plus the OD is 36mm which is too big for distance between hex screws on inside of 1.9 wheels

    If I may be so bold as to offer you some advice about your video presentation...first start by gathering up everything you are going to be covering. Next align the stuff from start to finish (very linear, no back tracking unless it's necessary for comparison to earlier stuff). Finally you don't have to read from a script but at least jot down every talking point about every item you are going to be describing. Look at the items individually and try to write down every bit of information you think is necessary for your viewers and be precise (just the facts/trim the fat). Oh, one last thing that might help would be to have some energy in your presentation. If you don't sound too excited, why should your audience be to see the video? You don't have to be an over the top, zany goofball constantly bouncing all over your studio/filming location but definitely have an energy level greater than that donkey in Winnie the Pooh. Please take what I've typed above as constructive criticism and not a personal atrack because I believe you have some valuable knowledge to share about the RC world and the more viewers you have, the more you can share with us.

  • @davidsimpson363
    @davidsimpson363 9 місяців тому

    Good comparison video. There have been many inserts that have come out over the past few years since "Just Scalin" released his in the UK. One thing you highlighted is that inserts made with higher quality TPU (like 3Bros, Squid, and DBHobby uses) really makes a huge difference. That particularly TPU is way more expensive but the quality can't be beat. Inserts made from cheaper TPU feels more "plastic" and gives a stiffer feel that is more challenging to use when competing. Also, it was great to mention that you can tune the inserts by changing infill. I know DBHobby offers that as well and it was good to know Squids does too. Thanks for taking the time to do the video.

      Totally depends on you and what you wanna do with the truck.
