    Awesome editing! It really put a smile on my face and I couldn't help but chuckle a bit when you walked past that "40 i sommerhusområdet" sign. Gonna be humming that melody the rest of the day.. It's just so happy and carefree ^^

    Love that Arrma Typhon of yours. I can tell you love buggies ❤️. From tamiya to Arrma.
    And looking at the condition of your Typhon, I can tell that you have really taken care of it very well! I bet you haven't broken anything yet since you got it last year. 💪

      Hi Ian. Yeah, my no. 1 will always be the buggies 😍 The Typhon hasn’t really been into serious combat yet (no skateparks around here) so a few jumps and a lot of flips and rolls in the snow and grass. Nothing that can harm her. But would soon like to try some serious jumps with her.

    What I needed a comparison across the 3 models.
    likely the same circuitry, just with some added bells and whistles on the 020 model.
    The only unit I have is the 020, but even though the 020 varant is newer it does seem to miss some of the functionality of the older 015, as that unit looks like it also was able to map your route with some fancy-free SkyRC PC software.
    when I purchased my 020 a few years back..I didn't notice any PC software available, but it would be nice if it was able to map your route in the app perhaps with speed measurements plugged in on that map.
    All in all, the "app" for the 020 was quite rudimentary & crude, and it ain't like it's a cheap product at around 50 to 55 USD to DK.
    I tested in the car versus the speedometer and the car was a few km faster, but it goes without saying that a car's speedometer likely is reading a tad high to be safe than sorry
    but the positive with the 020 is the small size and relatively low weight that makes it valid for my quads, from FPV to Mavic... my unit weighs 36.5g.. the 015 aint much heavier at 45g
    SkyRC should really implement the mapping ability from the 015 into the more expensive and newer 020.
    if they already have, please give notice, cheers.

      Good points! I read it with interest. I must admit that I have never really used the software for either one of these. I only need the top speed for my use. And yeah, I have tried some GPS speed meters in my 1/1 cars too. The speedometer on the car is always a few kph higher. Better safe than sorry 🙂 Thank you so much for watching and the comment.

    Good to see the old one is still doing well.
    I keep playing a game with myself, to try figure out where in Denmark you are, it always looks so pretty and summery when I'm watching, even in March. Don't tell me, I'm still trying to figure it out...

    • @NordicRC
      @NordicRC  3 роки тому +1

      He he, well, if you figure it out I hope you won’t tell me here, but in a private message 😅😉 Well, I try to shoot most of my outdoor videos when there is sunshine. That means 99% of the time I do not shoot outdoors. So it’s really not that summery here 😅

    Hiya Mikael. Good idea to test the GPS devices. I've still got the old one but I really ought to get the new one with the app. I was out today with the Arrma Typhon 3s that I got second hand recently. Was really good but I did end up bending a shock shaft. Anyway I enjoyed your vid and the quirky music was a good choice. Happy Saturday my friend :-)

    • @NordicRC
      @NordicRC  3 роки тому +1

      Hiya Pete! Yeah, they should theoretically read exactly the same, so it was good to see they actually did :-) I think the old one is fine, but yeah, I do like the compact new one with the app. Uhh, too bad about the Typhon. Hmm, what's up with those shocks on the 3S versions? Everytime I hear about them they either leak or bend or breaks. Would love an Arrma 3S still. But just spend my Big Rock savings on Tamiya parts :-) Happy Sunday to you in a couple of hours :-)

    • @PeteWylieRC
      @PeteWylieRC 3 роки тому +1

      @@NordicRC Hi Mikael. With the Arrma 3s shocks the ones on the version 2 did leak and can be fixed with Tamiya red o rings. The ones on the version 3 are fine as they updated the o rings. As to the shock shaft bending I'd say that they are easily as strong or stronger than Tamiya shocks or other brands of this size. The difference is that these are fast heavy bashers and so crashing into a rock at the wrong angle is going to be more damaging. I did drive into a solid object at speed so I will let it off for bending. I would have thought that with your big open areas you would be fine. Definitely still recommended :-)

    What is the bluetooth range if you put the GSM-020 on a RC plane? I wonder?

      Not far I think, but it still keeps measuring even if you lose the Bluetooth range.

    I'm dumb, at first I was thinking, how is he going to make sure that the battery and conditions were the same for 3 speed tests.
    Then you put all three GPSs on at once.
    Big Brain thinking there.
