Thnx!

Thnx chabaka. I’ve had it since around 2007. I’m gonna see how it does or maybe get brighter lights.

I have the camaro and it is the fz02 platform vs the fz02l that the truck, 57 chevy , gto etc... are on.

These are cool scale replica RCs. I do have a few complaints on the design of them. The long chassis I have is limited to about 8 bodies from Kyosho and little if any 3rd party bodies. The short chassis is the standard 1/10 scale. So there a ton for it. I don’t understand why all the bodies couldn’t be designed to work on a standard 1/10 chassis and still look correct. Hop ups are 90% Kyosho only other than tires/rims and motor. But there is still a ton of work you can do to fix them up even more. There’s a few mechanical choices that seem redundant to me. But who am I to complain. lol. I’m having fun with it! By the way if you interested in the Trans Am body I have one painted in battleship with metal flake that I’m not gonna use. It’s in a post of u wanna see it

So I have a question for you. I added the led kit to my camaro, plugged into channel 3, they light up as soon as I turn the car on which looks cool but I thought from reading the manual that I could control them with the channel 3 switch on the remote. Have you tried that? Is there a trick to making it work? It just seems like it would be cool to be able to swithc them on or off.

I think that may just work on the super charged dodge charger. It has opening head light covers. I just realized the 3rd servo would also open and close the blower or it does on the new super charged chevelle. Check out the super charged dodge charger video on Kyosho website. I found this on Amazon. I might get this myself.

I just came across this too. Looks like there maybe several options to do this

You need these. Sometimes they are built in.

If your real into lights, rc4wd and mytruck rc have light controllers that have alot of options.

interesting, the book implies anything I plug into channel 3 will be switchable by the remote. I have seen a video of the charge with remote controlled hideaway headlights... very cool. My headlight covers are manually movable but remote would be cool , may have to upgrade my remote to a 4 or 6 channel!

 

[gragner66]

I ordered the kit from Amazon. Should be here Wednesday. Then see how it goes.

Are there holes to connect parts to headlight covers. The super charged blower comes with parts to work charger headlights. I think the chevelle super charged manual states it can open and close blower

so a little slow on the uptake in my case, I had totally misunderstood how the controller poweres a channel and now that I understand that... I bought the tenergy relay and I am looking forward to having on off control of my leds. I almost went whole hog and bought the kit to give individual control and simulation for brake lights and turn signals, decided I might do one later will all the goodies. I am leaning towards adding the sound simulator to give it a v8 rumble!

 

[gragner66]

Are u looking at the ESS 1 or Dual sound simulator. I’m wondering if the horn works on the 3rd channel I think. And the engine sound works on throttle channel. If I use a Y connector on 3rd channel would it work my lights and horn. Have u set up your remote lights yet? For mine if switch is in center position I push up lights come on. If I go back to center lights stay on. If I push down one more time they go off. Then go back to center they stay off. If simulator with horn was set up with lights wouldn’t the horn work continuously as long as lights were on?

 

[22SSragtop]

just set up my lights using the lighting relay as suggested. They work great on channel 3. This is the one I used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FLZXSD7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

I think the horn has to be on a seperate channel.

 

[gragner66]

I’m thinking the same thing. I was looking at sound simulator. It only holds 1 engine sound and 1 extra sound at a time

Hello, been a few months since I posted. Been working on a 1:1 project for son’s 16th birthday. Got it mostly wrapped up. So I’m looking to start a 2nd round on the 66 Chevy truck. Big Debbie is giving me some down time to scour the web for some upgrades. I ordered a 4300kv brushless motor for it today. And found some goodies that I haven’t seen before. Not sure if they been around for a while or new

So I wasn’t gonna go the aluminum upgrade route on this build to keep things light. But I came across this (new to me) And can’t pass it up. Lol. At least it will make chassis a little tougher.

Nice work!

 

[gragner66]

Got some of the Yeah Racing parts in today. Color matches Kyosho color well.

 

[gragner66]

Power on a budget. Got in a 4300kv brushless motor and 3s lipo. Gonna run the 3s lipo on stock electrics til they fry out. The 3s make the tires ballon up where 2s don’t the 3s heats it up so hot u can’t touch the bottom of chassis

 

[gragner66]

Finally got the program card and motor mount. Hopefully this thing will scoot pretty good now
