    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    I'm gonna cruise over to the bank after work today and chat with them about getting it financed through them rather than a 3rd party bank. The bike just came out a handful of months ago so it's fairly new, no used ones up for sale yet. I generally like to buy used but I've been eyeing the FZ-09...

    Motorcycles?

    Went to look at a bike yesterday I have been deeply curious about since its stripped down naked brother came out. It's an FJ-09, the more adventure sport version of the FZ-09. Has the same inline triple powerplant as the FZ, but less brutal on the sensitive throttle part (or so I've been...

    $10,500 is MSRP. Lowest I could find is $9,995 around my area. Gonna go talk to my bank today... The dealer I want to work with wants to bend me over through a 3rd party bank, but not gonna let that happen.

    Power expander for 30cc?

    It definitely sounds like you might not be supplying enough power for the servos. Some of these servos can draw 3-4 amps peak for a split second depending on the loads on them. Try the lipo to see if it will help. If it doesn't do anything then try a different receiver. Lastly, if that doesn't...

    That's a tiny airplane. I can't imagine it would be terribly difficult to build it. Most modern kits come cut out so that everything is basically plug and play, meaning you literally build a jigsaw puzzle and glue it together.

    We get to ride year round down here ;) But this kind of maintenance should have been done a while ago... Looks like it's time to change the oil/filter now...

    ZTW Gecko vs Castle Creations

    Temperatures: The motor I measured to be at a peak of about 145 *F before I added a baffle. Never saw it much higher than about 135*F after that, and that's doing a lot of high alpha shenanigans. I do not know what in flight temps were, these were taken on the ground directly after the flight...

    Oh the joys of owning an 04 650 dual sport with 32K on the odometer... This weekend it's valve shims that needed to be replaced to get proper clearances, next weekend it's timing chain tensioner lever replacement time, then after that I need to get a new piston/rings inside of it because it...

    50-60cc pau edge 540 build

    Very nice cowl install! Regarding covering: Not much can be done about the covering once it leaves the factory. It's one of those things that is affected by weather of any kind, and these things do get to us by sea. Lots of weather changes out there that can cause all kinds of whack covering...

    Hacker/Jeti Spin ESC's are just amazing, they're incredibly efficient and they just seem to function perfectly. Programming is a little tricky using the JetiBox but that's just a little small bit of hassle for a setup that is gonna smoke everything out there (figuratively speaking). I was...

    I think Home Depot had some that were something like 25" long. But I just got a standard 16" bracket and fitted a piece of PVC pipe over it, cut a slot along the bottom of the pipe and shoved it on. It's definitely sturdy enough.
