I bought the right tools. A good electric soldering station. Then a holding jig. And found some lead solder. Now after forty years of perfectly fine soldering. Now I produce wire art.
I'm really old school. The builds I have going are 2 Clodbusters and 2 Lunchboxes. Both Clods are on aftermarket chassis. A CPE Timewarp with 4 links and a Sicnme Ultralight with stock ladder bars
The only soldering I've ever done in my life was on one of your motors and it's good enough to get juice to the motor that's about all I can say
You are the Bob Ross of Rc crawlers. 🤣👍🏼
How can you not love a hippie holms hobby shirt !!
I Enjoy watching and listening to you , thanks for your time and effort, I always learn something
Thanks John!
Building a couple more Revolver-powered Brazin’ ATL for my favorite local Beach crawl spot, Corona Del Mar,CA😎
My dad was an electrician in the US Navy for 20 years, and he taught me how to solder when I was 9 or 10. I'm 73 now, and I think I can solder with quite a bit of confidence.
I went with a big dab, thanks John! Highly recommended!
Went with a big dab and then tinkered with toys lol
I love big dabs 😋
Thank you for your hard work
John, you are the best in the business man! I don't mess with anyone else for motors and, when possible, esc. Thanks for all you do and share with us.
Enjoy the channel! Thanks for the soldering tips n tricks
Almost 30yrs of hobby soldering and still terrible 🤣 not really that bad. Still using hako 936 I got about 25urs ago.
Working on a custom axial based 6x4 tow rig. Getting the rear gooseneck hitch model while watching. It has a 27t trailmaster in it.
Was just driving my hg-p408 running a torquemaster 21t earlier.
Fantastic motors!! Thank you
Nationals didn't get "cancelled"...just "postponed"...and, it was a blast. Ram a Class 3 Capra, with the Capra cage/chassis being there only actual Capra part - In the works 3-gear skid, SuperShafty trans in Vanquish 3-gear housing, Vanquish SCX-10 Currie F9 axles with SSD portals (4WS), Mamba X...and, of course, a HH motor.
Most PitA build - an actual Capra kit. Truthfully, the overall build wasn't too bad...but, getting the electronics in to and wired up...THAT was a PitA.
Oh...and, by the way...Wheaties still rocks.
I think many of us can highly relate! We continue to toon in because, birds of a feather, or same messy shop. What ever that quote was... lol. 😅🤣😂
Thanks for the superb electronics and your informative videos, you teach me a lot of deep dive detail about the motors specifically and you have helped me begin to understand the different motor types. Excellent information! In my T-Jet days we had a lot of motor wind options for those fantastic little pancake motors. (Which were my first introduction to the inner workings of an electric motor.) I spent my career working with large motors (up to 4160 V) and generators (up to 330 MW). I'm recently retired and RCs have been taking up a lot of my time. I soldered before but not to the level I am at now which (thanks to youtubers such as yourself) is increasing rapidly. Working on my Sherpa build today, I have to run in to town to gather a few bits I need to finish it up. I'm trying out your 5 Slot - 13 turn - Pro 540 and trying out that sweet new 16 Volt servo of yours. I don't typically put a project on hold, however, in this case I have paused my Bomber build (3500kv HH puller pro v2 w/Mamba X) and proceeding with the Sherpa. All those nice new little parts need to find their home. I am fortunate to have a few excellent shops here in the Denver area and can dang near get everything I need from them. I'll get back to that bomber soon enough, but I was up against a couple of those little Issues to work past, or is it just builders block?
My favorite scale accessory is a functional floor Jack that a buddy printed for me
Really wanna get one of these to build...
Love the rambling man!!!
From engineering to current media consumption I’m with ya in all of it ✌️
If I could only have more hours in the day I'd get around to finishing all my "projects". I just started working on my Lowered TF2 drift truck. 2WD, flipped the front hubs for that sweet camber, R1 13.5T and MST wheels/tires. Servo finally came in so final assembly just started.
Good one, John. Thanks
Just finished up an Alcista/Capra conversion. InTheWorks flat skid, DLux Fab Ham Berger transmission, HH Puller Pro V2 stubby motor, and Micro X ESC.
Send it to me lol.... I am praying that the sherpa kit comes back. Trying to do my first scratch build
I started soldering last year and I’m decent now. I bought the basic Weller 80W. I think I want to get a smaller chisel tip for it. I think the thing I’ve learned most is to get the smaller diameter solder and focus practice on tinning wires and contact points. I think people go into soldering thinking it’s like welding and it’s not at all
One of those on my bench for months lol
I’m just as unorganized and I swear I have a bucket of parts laying around and still end up needing to order parts to get my rig right😂
I LOOVE UR HOW 2 SOLDER VIDEOS MAN!! I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING INFACT. GOT A HAKKO INSTEAD OF MY ANEMIC GENERIC HANDHELD. I HAVE TO CONVERT MY ARMY OF TRX CONNECTORS TO XT60'S. HOPEFULLY A GOOD JOB TO LEARN ON. TRX'S ARE A NITEMARE!!!
Been practicing soldering. Coming from nitro rc, I still feel insecure with electronics. Thanks to you my understanding of esc’s and motors is better.
Thankyou for admitting that you've been taking your time with a build, not all of us get it done quickly!! I've had projects lasting years, that are still going this year and I'll probably finish them next year........ maybe🤣🤣🤣
My comp rig is a Corrupt Carbon Reaper Chassis. Reefs Triple 7 servo and 299lp servo winch. Esc is your BRXL paired with a 13T Magnum motor. Fish Shocks vanquish wheels and proline trenchers tires predator compound
I got my Sherpa on the bench again. Installing the raw ffm 😬 my soldering skills improve with each build.
Working on a brazin atl pro chassis. Was lucky enough to pick up a tgh limited 2.low in red. Using Holmes electronics (go figure). Just waiting for the shv 800 to be released to get the final components to finish the build.
I am just working on my 1/10 Summit setting the suspension up to my likings. and starting to setup my Element trailwalker for my 7 year old nephew.
At the moment I'm working on a Volvo N10 dump truck with 3d printed body and bed, based on a Axial UMG 6x6 chassis, using Vatera axles and transmission
Also working on a Vaterra chassis based 4x4 off road hot rod with 3d printed Dodge-ish body
Also got an almost fully 3d printed Jeep Comanche on the shelf to be built with a Radcat Gen8 Axe transmission and Traxxas Trx-4 axles
And just got my Axial scx10 III done and I'm trying to get it so be as good crawler as my old Vaterra Ascender, yes I like my Vaterras ;)
Love your videos and shirts, keep it up!!
A few months ago or so i bought your G10 comp chassis with Team Garage Hack 2.Low transmission their rims for the Capra axle the Capra a axles one of your servos i had as well as one of your 2200kv puller pro stubby motors and my mamba x esc along with 1.9 Pro Line Hyrax predator compound tires G-Made shocks Proline SR5 body.
just painted the body just need to figure out how i am going to mount it.
I mounted the servo on the axle so i could use slightly longer schocks.
I still have to get the side winch pulley to go on top of the body and i believe that's it.
I like it it is an awsome set up i will enjoy it much.
Eventualy i plan on getting your brushed esc and the Crawl Master Magnum Stubby 16T and see how i like it compared to the brushless setup i currently have.
I'm just good enough at soldering to do what I need to
My Sherpa is running a SW4/2200 revolver.
Send me some of those stalled projects/parts, I can do, as your also busy stacking gold bars as all successful entrepreneurs do!
Cheap weak irons still can’t solder 10g battery leads.
I’m thinking of building a comp/low CG rig. Going with Brazin they have the TRX4 transmission skid as well as all the bits to use a Sport kit.
With a scx1ii 4 link in the back 2 link in the front with a panhandler bar long frame still working on the rest of the drive train
Awesome im building the same rig with capra axles! You inspired me!!!
Just got my HH Crawlmaster Pro 550 15 for my 10-3 build. My Spawn brushless conversion is leading to necessary upgrades as things break under pressure (Trailmaster Pro 3800kv/Mamba X), and sways for stability. Next is to see where my loss of power in my Senton 3s is coming from.
Im actually finishing up m vs410 ultra im pretty stoked about it!
Awesoma chassis
Hey man I do comps in Springfield built my truck from the ground up. I would live to have a 11t magnum motor but it's a little out of my budget right now. And my soldering skills have really improved over the last year
I go buy feel on the pinion mesh i hold the spur and turn the pinion and set it so there is just a bit of movement
I’m working on the new merge chassis😈 from IERC🤙🏽💪🏽
Custom rig ! Have to agree ...thats what its all about ! Never will get a RTR again.
Would love to see you change the motor in the Rochobby jeep. I would like to put my crawlmaster pro 550 in mine but it looks like a daunting job
Soldering has been so much easier since I got the ts100
I love working on scx10ii i just built a gspeed chassis rig with a stealth x trans and a v2 stubby revolver 2500kv it is a monster love holmes motors
Tiger Woods biggest Wheaties guy ever! Love your videos!
i have hakko fx-888d soldering station i have wicked trouble with getting tip of the iron hot. its like few centermeters at the end that doesnt seem to get hot on some tips. some tips are fine.
I need a comp rig now thanks John lol
Ha! My sherpa build isn't done either.. its been sitting for at least a year too. Please cover your methods of attacing the body in detail when you get to that point. As well as shock setup for maximum performance.
I just picked up an Arrma Big Rock, sorry no it's not a crawler, it's a basher round abouts similar to a Traxxas Hoss. it has the Spektrum ic5 plug, so planning to swap in a deans for the batteries I intend to run. gotta get that rust knocked off
Working on a Sherpa c3 build!
Speaking of hard-to-get-to spur gears, try taking a spur gear off an Scx10 III.
Definitely getting good at soldering but I’m still using chela harbor freight wand. So I’m in the middle of trying to decide on a station. Thinking I’m going with the new Thermaltronics station
I absolutely love your vids and products 🤜💥🤛 I'm working on a gspeed v3 with trx4 axles and a stealth x trans castle sw4 and 2040kv holmes revolver NCDRC rs800 v2
Personaly i like the 2200kv motor because with my gearing i have the low speed control i want and the top speed to walk with the rig i may try a 2700kv as John said he likes it.
Thanx for askin John. My soldering is progressing but could use a fine point process on tinning of 10 gauge braided , what to do when there is spot of solder not sticking, dirt must be cleaned with stainless wire brush? Or brass wire brush, can I clean with ACetone? Ace Ventura?
Right now I am building a corrupt carbon works reaper chassis with super shafty Capra axles
Castle creation made the green gears for the 1/8 scale emax and I forgot what other tracks his car it comes in 32 pitch 16 tooth I believe they have other sizes as well those are very old that's old new stock I see.
Working on a rc4wd long wb with Holmes hobby motor
You should try a toyota motor mount instead of that FORD one! Lol. I'm working on my scx24s. Fun little trucks!
I'm working on a Tamiya Clodbuster and Gmade GOM
Bo Jackson is the first one of the Wheaties commercials that comes to mind 😳 😂
I need to learn how to soder and what wires go where
i am working on scx10v3 dont know what motor esc i want. i kind of want a crawlmaster sport and crawlmaster mini. let me know what would be a good team with stock gearing.
Do you know when these chassis’s will be back in stock? I’d love to build one 🙂
I'm building a one off Ford bronco hardbody with full drop interior with a opening hood and full engine bay
When will this kit be back in stock??
Tolerances or dimensioning?
Seems like tolerance takes a backseat to dimensions.
What are wheeties?
Whats with the angled skid, can some one explain
Sounds like your business is at that breaking point. One man can only do so much for so long. You need to hire a couple of business helpers to help get your business to the next level!
@11 employees right now. What I haven't given up now are the things that I enjoy or don't trust to hire out. One disgruntled social media manager can ruin a biz fast.
@@HolmesHobbies that is very true! Just dont get burnt out and wore out trying to do to much. It can really wear a man out and have real effects on your relationships.
I believe the last video was January 11 2020
Organization never heard of her. 🤣
Worst rig I’ve worked on is a Losi rock Rey and the easiest rig is the Capra.. the Capra literally has like 10 screws and you can have both axles and the trans out lol
ok, I hate 32 pitch noise, dispise the lack of space in a capra, love working on my Vanquish VS4-10's
At the moment i tune my scx24, i got the "furitek" i ordered🙏 and i am waiting for the engine.1 / 10 scale i am building a completely aluminum "injora"🤩
Been there done that don’t build an injora or use any of those china parts. It will save you more money just stopping it now before you get too invested.
@@mojaverc1585 yep,only the chassis is aluminium injora and it seems to be prety ok🤔other parts wil be genuine parts.
@@mojaverc1585 what kind of engine did you put with furitek if i may ask?
@@johnoakhead3106 if it has the gearbox in it just take it out and save the screws and bearings from it and put in any genuine 3 gear trans in. Also i dont have the furitek esc or any 24th scale stuff
@@mojaverc1585 Ok ,thx for the advice
Serena Williams was in the box of Wheaties 2019 to 2020 then the last picture that I remember was LeBron James was added to the box in 2020 after Serena Williams..🤙🏻🔥😎🔥👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My soldering skills are terrible. In my defense I am legally blind (macular degeneration) And even with jeweler goggles on everything is very blurry Like looking underwater in a pool. Adapting to RC tasks is relatively easy when I'm able to feel my way around However soldering gets painful when feeling around.(I always pay the $7 for you guys to solder my leads on) My approach to soldering is down to guesswork then taking a picture with my phone and looking after. Mostly I just have to settle with wires that are solidly in place. Sometimes it is very frustrating and I have spent over an hour just soldering battery connectors due to totally missing or horribly weak joints. "Feeling" solder melt and knowing where it is placed is not the easiest thing.
I think the only reason I am somewhat able to do it at all now is that I used to do it often at work when I was younger and could see. I have managed for the past two years in this hobby and haven't burnt up any batteries motors or ESCs or connectors. I always use EC5 battery connectors.
I dot remember the wheaties spokes person after.. michael phelps..
Well personaly, i'm putting 1k in a 100$ scx24 :) where is the problem
Wheaties . . . Bruce Jenner was on the box. Good lord, I am getting old.
Yeah. I remember my Mom saving the unopened box of Wheaties from the 1988 Super Bowl (Redskins, Doug Williams). Old days...
I remember Bruce Jenner was Wheaties
