My 1093-ST arrived over the weekend, and I am super excited about this truck. It looks great, and seems to be a very nice quality truck for the price. Check out the pics, and video, and stay tuned for more info. This truck is now back in stock, and on sale here for $179.99 This truck is compatible with most, if not all Axial SCX10 II Honcho parts, and accessories. First mods. Removed the stickers, and added 3D printed mirrors and door handles. Also 3D printed a snorkel. Thingiverse file here. A nice feature of this truck is that the light buckets on the roll bar, and on the front bumper are designed to accept 5mm LED lights. I just happened to have some, and some resistors in one of my boxes, so I had to wire some up. Next step will be to wire up a set for the bumper. See images below for how the truck looks after a few mods. More custom mods, and review updates coming soon! Please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Looks like Gearbest is keeping the FuriBee F90 Wasp around. This time as the F90S Honeybee it is a ready to fly, with 1s battery. At only $19.99 just add an AIO camera and you've got a 90mm RTF brushed FPV trainer for around $30
The new Tianqu Visuo XS812 GPS drone with HD camera has arrived! EDIT-11/21/2018 This excellent quadcopter is available here for $78.99 during the early Black Friday sales going on now This is an excellent value in ready to fly drones with GPS position hold, and return to home. The package includes everything you need to start flying your new quadcopter, and capture HD pictures, and video. Not only is the camera WiFi enabled, so you can use your phone, or tablet to see what the drone sees in real time, but the camera module also has a micro SD card slot allowing you to record your flights in higher quality than if you're just saving to your mobile device. The GPS function is incredibly accurate, and does a great job of maintaining height, and position while shooting pics, or vid. You also get GPS return to home, so with the quick press of a button the drone will return and land itself within inches of where you took off from. A great feature which helps keep the pilot from losing the drone in the event that you lose orientation, or if you just want to bring it back without having to pilot it yourself. Just like the other Tianqu Visuo quadcopters that came before it, the XS812 is a folding design making it very easy to travel with and store. When unfolded you still have a decent sized 250mm drone that is easy to fly, and large enough to still see at a distance. The XS812 is an excellent model for beginners just looking to get into the hobby, or for those that are looking to upgrade to a GPS drone with many great features. Check out the pictures, and don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have. Stay tuned for flight video demonstrating the GPS functions, and pics and video from the on board camera. Happy Flying!! |
