Well not chassis parts without some additional modifications but electronics may work such as motors ESC and servos. But I would just source parts elsewhere unless you have some extras around.

@@AlToneRC thanks dude...

Well, I'm glad you're interested, but it's not my challenge. It is actually the @barganbasherrc speed run challenge. I believe it's about to end now. But if you have completed a run, be sure to go over to his channel and send him an email with a link to the run before it's over. This was my last run for the challenge.

Very cool I look forward to seeing what you can do with it!

I agree that the parts on this car are not made for speed. I have a bunch of play in the front wheels. But I do plan to spend some time trying to find upgraded parts over time. I would love to turn this car into an absolute sleeper. thanks for stopping by!

@AlToneRC i have gutted mine and now it sleeps waiting for a crazy idea!

Not everyone can afford top brands and some are given as gifts. These less expensive RC Cars are a great way to see if you're really interested in the hobby. So no matter how you get this vehicle it can be upgraded not to mention, it is a great learning experience. Teaches so much about electronics, troubleshooting, and even some mechanical skills. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thanks for watching! 🙂

@@AlToneRC I second that, Al!

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NBW9HV1 It Was this one. I will say that it may be a defective one but the common denominator with the frying of my 2 ESCs was this motor. After changing out the motor in my Tamyia MF-01x. I had no more problems.

That would be cool I would love to see what you can do. This one was surprisingly easy to upgrade, But I have to say I love your plane builds! 😊

Absolutely I'm blown away by how easy it was to upgrade. I can't believe the performance. Ready to see what happens after adding a wheelie bar!

Thanks so much and thanks for the I do as well!

LOL Well I dont mind helping. :-)

@AlToneRC 👌👍

Which Wheelie bar is it.. I believe this guys is really going to need it! its too light.. hard to keep the wheels on the ground. I will share my latest speed run on Saterday! .

@@AlToneRC Amazon - Team Associated Wheelie Bar: Rival MT10, ASC25837... also some 1/4 & 0.25oz stick on wheel weights help a lot keeping front end down

@@ofromda860 Thanks so much!

lol. Thanks!

Thanks man. I thought it was worse than it was any turned off the camera without thinking. But now I have it set with brushless and ready to go. BTW I keep missing your lives but I’m sure I will catch you some time! But I try to catch the replay👍🏾

Plug and play or PNP refers to the aircraft and not the receiver. The receiver must be bound to your radio. The firmware update is not an absolute requirement but this video is about doing so if you want or find you need too.

@AlToneRC do you have a video on how to bind this to the tx16s? Right now its on multi, i have spektrum & flysky reciver binded to the radio, but cant seem to get the er8 to bind to my radio

@ This is an ELRS receiver, multi protocol radios will not bind with it without a ELRS Module. The binding I do is during the Flash is using a pass phrase to bind. All of my aircraft currently use the same pass phrase. Setting it is a step in the firmware flashing process which I show in this video.

@@AlToneRC oh ok i.switched it to multi, it was on crsf. Ill return it & just buy flysky or spektrum. Thank you

@@Mroswaldo16no problem glad to help! BTW ELRS uses the CRSF function in the radio however you still will need a ELRS module on a multi protocol radio to bind it.

I understand your point however, this video is on upgrading the radio, not an unboxing and initial setup. I have covered this in a different video. This video assumes that you have already been using this radio with your models but not yet updated to the latest version. If CRSF is not selected it would not be working well before deciding to update. I would not suggest updating the firmware prior to insuring your radio is working properly by setting up and testing first with a model. Thanks fo your input.

Responded from my other channel. Again! if you just pulled your radio out of the box, you should be ensuring it works prior to upgrading EdgeTX or the internal ELRS Module.

Standard 5mm foam board thickness. It's basically the same Addams Readyboard that can be found in Dollartree. The difference is that they have made this foam more water-resistant.

Any ELRS receiver should bind with this radio. Thanks for watching!

Yes. the ER6 and ER8 are both ELRS recievers, you can't go wrong with either of them. You can also use other brands ELRS receivers as well. Just be sure it is an ELRS receiver that you purchase and you should be good.

Thanks

Thanks so much!

You can change the radio settings as far as color in the radio themes menu. Im using a specific theme and I have gone in an customized a few colors to my liking. Just be sure as you do, you are still able to read all of the text as well.

@@muatazfalih3041 so glad to help!

The antenna placement will depend. On the orientation of the antenna as it sits in the plane. Most cases it should be vertical because in most cases your antennas in the aircraft will be vertical to 45 degrees. Or if you have diversity antennas in the plane they should be horizontal and the other vertical or both 45 Degrees in opposite directions. It also depends on what type of flying you’re doing. Try to keep both antennas in the same orientation either way for the majority of your time in the air. ELRS is a great protocol so unless your going long distance it may not even matter. Hope this helps.

@@AlToneRC I’m coming from flysky ia-6 radio ia-6b receivers. They worked great very simple no issues with range So I’m a little nervous now about the antenna with the tx16. Hopefully it won’t be an issue. I’m using 4-1

@@flyjets305 I understand. The info I provided is true also for the 4n1 and any receiver. That rule will be the same no matter what setup you are running. Place the antenna in the aircraft vertical and also place the antenna in your radio vertical. You can also set up the radio to provide you with signal strength information right on the screen and announce it. That is what I do even for ELRS. From there you can test your signal with the plane sitting on the ground with different antenna placement to see what works best. Radiometer is a great brand and I totally trust them with all of my planes.

Thanks so much!

I do love this one. I’m now practicing more maneuvers. It really helps!

You use CRSF. It uses the Crossfire protocol selection for ELRS.

Responded from my other Channel by mistake :-) but CRSF like I said. :-). Hope this helps.

Every now and them someone will make their model files available for drones and other aircraft, however most do not because there are specifics as to how they want their radio to function. I would say set up the plane on the bench and take time once to insure that it functions the way you would like. Use a basic plane with only Alierons, Elevator, throttle, and Rudder. Then when you purchase a new plane you can copy that model change the name and bind it with the new receiver, Then you only have to make small adjustments to the radio to make the plane fly well if any and add any functionality like flaps an retractable landing gear. Hope this helps.

Im using my old Jumper T18. You just have to play with the trim to see if it does what you want. I need to do more testing with the EXPO myself. As long as you calibrate your sticks to the Sim you should not have to worry about trim. The aircraft will fly straight but you might want or need expo to help you control the model better depending on the model in the sim. Im not sure how that will effect the specific model you're flying in the sim.

Sorry for the late reply but It is possible that I need to work out the timing. I may have messed up the timing when calibrating my ESCs .. I know have a programing card and plan to be sure that it fixes the issue. I did try a larger 40Amp esc but seemed to have the same issue. More to come on this. I hope to be able to share more on it very soon.

Awesome!

That is also my plan. How is your experience with that setup so far ?

That Is what I understand. I could not initially get it to work but I have not had time to revisit it. Thanks

I have enjoyed having the stabilization in the plane. Ive been too busy to do additional testing and flights but hope to do so very soon.

No I didnt, thanks!

Yea man. I Love it.. so many functions for racing.
