Iris 1/10 TC - One #1

This is the original One. Not the update version(s).

There is a few design concept which make it different than other modern TC :

- 3 drive belts with equal length, which enable a complete center position of front spool pulley and rear gear diff pulley.

- Different way to connect upper arms to bulkhead

- Awesomatix-alike (but not exact) shocks at low profile position


Completed the central drive train.

RC28 #1

Started the project


But figured out that the Power HD mini servo does not fit
Even my other mini servo (for 1/5 bike brake) is way too big

Time to look for micro servo before continue the project

FW05RR maintenance

Ran the car a couple of times recently, and resolved a few issues so far - mid bridge bearings hub, 2-speed shaft, bearings on rear bearing hub .... now the front gear box problem.
Brake disc damaged too - ordered replacement parts. Still like this car a lot and shaft drive on-road is rare.

Axon TC10/3 build #4

ESC installed - this time is Orca Totam 100amp stock ESC
The ESC is solid metal which is thin and small footprint, however, it has a few wire connection including the on/off switch ... which end up make it look a bit messy.

Xray T4 2020 #1

This is a 2nd hand kit - previous owner built but never run

Installed electronics and completed the wiring over weekend, tested fit the bodyshell from X4, cannot fit. But it seems it can share the old bodyshell from older T4 generation.

The steering servo used this time is a new brand I have never tried, it comes with metal servo horn
