Thanks for all the advise. Will check those out.

And planning to run them on a Turbo Optima/Javelin 4wd buggy. So, having 4wd front will be nice.

Hi Hi,

I used to run ProLine Dirt Hawg in the early days for general bashing around. I was wondering what could be a modern day equivalent?

Not much has to do with Tech but Stick Radio has been really pricey. I see 3 options at the moment. 1) Futaba 4GRS, US$389 - amainhobbies.com - just got one 2) Futaba 7XC - US699.90 - rcmart.com 3) Sanwa Exzes Z3 - US$699.90 - rcmart.com The 4GRS is based on Futaba 4pm. Futaba 4pm is only US$299. 7X...

I thought this youtube video is an interesting test 2 years ago. See https://youtu.be/Lo_sMLo0FIM?si=R4tT7Ouj6lvgil3K

You can turn on translation to english from the japanese host on youtube.

Pleasantly surprised that the hobbywing 1060 is slightly faster than the rest.

I am using the hobbywing 1080 (initial gen) at the moment. Pretty good up to 12T mod. I typically run a 19T mod for bashing. I kind of suspect that the Orac 800 is based on the 1080 given a similar set of setting card. Maybe with a better build of ALU casing. I had a Robitronic speedstar 2 that clai...

Seriously, I will think that the original will be stronger. However, my goal is to have wider gear option around my use of various motors.

I did some experimentation with the 3D-printed gear of my optima/javelin. Basically, the spur gear on OTW126 or OT208. Printing them with a 0.2-nozzle with PETG works for me, retaining the metal counter gear. I tested with resin as well, and they basically shatter upon full throttle. So far, with th...

I put up a minimum fee of $1 euro for all the STL files off cult3d. Way back I put it off as free but noticed that there seems to be a number of bots that start downloading all my files. Hence, the minimum fee intent to block off those bots.

Hi folks, Did a 3d printed design for battery holder for Kyosho Optima/Javelin. This is designed for low profile shorty pack that followed the dimension of 18.5x47x96mm. The original intent to have a better battery secure rather than velcro tapes and prevent the battery from moving sideway. IMG20250...

Hi folks, Just like to share my testing of 3d printed spur gear for the re-release optima/javelin. This allows for various options around various gear ratios. IMG20250503174210.jpg Currently, I have made 54 & 58 available for download at cult3d. Will be making more sizes available such as 52, 56...
