I built a Kyosho Javelin when I was 16 years old. Now, I am a very mechanically inclined person, but even so, at 16 that is a pretty rough RC for anyone to tackle. The belt/chain drive assembly alone is a bit of a challenge. But there is nothing better to give you an understanding of your RC...

The lite is 2 separate pieces. So if you go out in the field you just take the DC portion. It is almost small enough to fit in your pocket and is 300w. It is just a cool little charger. I am just guessing here, but most of the AA battery chargers you buy have weak power supplies. So maybe they...

If I had known about that Hobbymate D6 Dual Lite I think I would have grabbed that one along with the AC PSU. It's a pretty slick little charger using the same ISDT OS. It even has an Eneloop charge cycle. Still trying to figure that one out, like there must be a balance board in the works or...

I didn't know that lol. A guy mentioned it in a vid. I just flip my screen to IR when I start a charge and read them there, then after the battery has charged I leave it sit for a bit and read it again.

It has an IR meter. It shows when charging. But I see what you mean. It would be nice to see at idle. But I have a multimeter too 😉

Hota specs Model NO.: D6 Pro Input Voltage: AC100~240V / DC 6.5~30V Charge Current: 0.1~15A * 2 Charge Power: DC 325W * 2(650W) AC 200W(Support power distribution) Discharge Power: Internal discharge: 15W * 2(balance port 10W) External discharge: 325W * 2 Battery Type...

What is the wattage per channel on that charger? Is it really 100w? It's only 18v AC input, which seems kinda low for a battery charger at that price.

A good charger will run you around $100. But you can buy cheaper ones. I use a Hota D6 Pro and love it. I am not sure, but doesn't that rig take 2 batteries? You can look at SMC, CNHL, Gens-Ace, etc for decent batteries. Or if you want to go with a value brand you can get Zee brand batteries...

In the vid I saw of the Summit it was actually quite a capable crawler as well as a decent basher. That was what got me thinking about grabbing one some day.

I saw a Summit review video awhile back and it looked pretty cool.

Wow. So that is actually a lot bigger than a 1/8. That's crazy that they call that a 1/10.

That is good to know. Can you share a pic of a Summit next to a regular sized 1/10?

So true. Even being in the hobby since I was a kid, it is overwhelming trying to decide on what I want to buy next. If only I were a rich man! But that makes it fun to me, watching others buy and build RC's that I don't have (yet).

The smaller cars will have less power because they are smaller. But scale speeds and power will likely be comparable. And there is no problem at all asking questions bro. We are all here to help and learn. And we were all new to the hobby at some point. So ask all the questions you want. Before...

Now there ya went and done it. I was trying not to pressure another poor soul into buying an SCX24, but you opened the door 😝

1/10 is a lot bigger RC.

You have to consider that is a RTR Ryft also, albeit a highly upgraded one in vid 2. The kit comes with upgrades that the RTR doesn't have, like a 2 speed trans, the sway bar, and I think better shocks, which are Pro-Line if I remember correctly. I would love to have the whole line of Axial...

This is pretty good. This guy has a lot of hopups on his rigs.

I don't think the Ryft and the Wraith are all that different are they? I never looked into the Wraith though. I just saw the Ryft was available in a kit which is what initially turned me on to it.

Welcome to the forum. I don't own a Summit but have always kinda wanted one since I first saw it. It's not a very popular rig here from what I have seen, but I am sure someone here has one and can help you out. The Axial Ryft is a slightly similar kind of vehicle if you buy the kit version...
