Iris One.1

Interesting design from Germany company, made in TW kit. 

The chassis is designed with 3 driving belts and unique suspension - there is no traditional shocks and shock towers, it uses something similar to Awesomatix's suspension system, at least visually. 

The parts are made nicely, and the packaging inside the box is also interesting, individual parts are "packaged" inside from same packing as the parts are sold as replacement parts. 

I got the alloy chassis version this time.

Decided to test one new brand of ESC - Nitride from Elceram. There is an onboard digital display with physical buttons for ESC setup and data review. The ESC is built in a solid metal case, altho a bit heavy. Also noticed that there is no cooling fan. 

Equipped with HobbyWing G2 outlaw 4.5T motor

Wiring has been completed and electronics are all done

Xray X4 2022 #1

Another series of modernized TC I want to build after the experience with Yokomo BD series.

The build quality is Xray standard - parts and screws are well organized, open and use bag by bag. Parts fitting are nice, and with the new type of arms - I can save a night of work compared to those arms from BD family. Power HD has released a special version of its S15 servo - S-15X which is designed especially for X4, there is no need to install any servo mount and as the "ear" has been integrated with the serve case, with 3 screws - servo will fit directly on the bottom chassis.
