Heli pilot's 1st plane

I've been flying helis for a little over a year (MCPX v2 and 120 SR). I'm looking at joining a club with an airfield and want to step-up to a 450 flybarless heli in the next 6 months or so. An...

RE: Atomik Barbwire Problem

If you can find a name on the ESC you might find the manual online. Very often, RTRs will still use various brands of ESCs, receivers, etc. I think it pretty much has to have an LVC setting, though...

RE: Atomik Barbwire Problem

You might have an LVC (Low Voltage Cut-off) setting on your ESC that doesn't match battery's voltage. If you haven't already, read the ESC manual and see if there is a way to set the LVC. You might...

Servo installation

I got a MG996R servo as an upgrade (using the term loosely), for the stock servo for my Redcat Caldera XB 10e. I'm new to RC cars and am installing my first servo and have a problem.

RE: Is there anything that I don't need to Loctite?

I talked to Redcat support, and they said not to use Loctite on their plastic (they need to edit their videos). Any thoughts on using Elmer's Glue for the screws going into plastic or even just an...

RE: Caldera 10e exploded view and parts list

Good info. I searched all over, but couldn't find. Obviously, the OEM doesn't identify the names of the cars so I didn't pick up.

Also, I like having the .pdf files as they are easy to...

Redcat doesn't have the Caldera 10e manual online so I made a couple of .pdf files, one for the exploded view drawing and one for the parts list. The exploded view isn't great resolution but you can...

RE: Waterproofing

I did some more checking around, and I think I'm going to try Corrosion X.  Though it leaves some residue, I think it will still be easier to use than the liquid tape/liquid rubber products.  I think...

RE: Addind water resistance to Caldera 10e

I watched the video and a lot of other Youtube in regards to waterproofing.  It is very interesting and seems pretty easy.  Of course, the $10, $20, or $200 question is, will you kill the component...

RE: Caldera 10e oil-filled shocks
