Hi, does anyone know of an led dimmer/controller that has a memory function to remember the level of brightness after a power cycle?

I'm aware that small esc's can be used to control the brightness, I've been doing that up until now, but a customer requires the memory function), but the esc's don't have a memory function.

Or do I have to try and get some custom boards made up?

Hey guys, I'm new to this topic and looking for a way to use an USB controller for my RC car. I remember seeing a video of an pistol controller with usb input that could do it without any more Hardware. But can't find it anymore. I also saw the Arduino way but it was too complex for me.

Thx in advance

Hi everybody, I’m guessing a lot of you have seen this over the past decade but we have been having some goose issues and I’m looking to build one of these. Not trying to hurt their company but current pricing is at 3k and to me it’s just a little bit of foam and some basic rc parts. Anyone have any recommendations as far as a parts list goes? Can’t decide if I should take the rc plane route like they did or just go with a car style. I only need it for grass. Thanks!

I am building a Tamiya TT-02. I am planning on using this battery (I will replace Tamiya connector on the car with an XT-90): https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-5000mah-2s-30c-lipo-pack-xt-90.html, and this motor: https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/reedy-radon-2-3-slot-4100kv-brushed-motor-15t-3.5mm-bullet/ASC27425.html. Any recommendations on what radio transmitter and receiver and ESC I can use with this build?

I have an XT-90 5000mah Lipo that I would like to use with my Tamiya TT-02. How do I change the connector on the Tamiya to make this work? What parts do I need?

I've been looking for hobby cars that capture a similar type of weird that toy grades have.

I want Hobby grades that aren't just a small real car, but have a weird gimmick or are just straight up not a real vehicle, think like those old tyco and taiyo rc's from the 80s and 90s.

I am currently building a Tamiya TT-02 kit and I am wondering what KV motor you recommend as an upgrade for the stock torque-tuned motor, that I can install without needing to upgrade other aspects of the kit. Also what power of battery do I need for this motor?

I have a project in mind for RC but I was wondering if I can switch the servo and motor control (the motor throttle to servo position?) if that makes sense. How would I do it and would it be an extensive process. I feel it's simple but just wondering the easiest and smallest way I could do it.

I decided on the WEP station because I had asked months ago the same thing. And this one was suggested along with the brand YYIHUA. This one was in my price range and I know I'd need a heat gun since it didn't come with one. I did have another WEP in my cart that had a built-in heat gun. But this one has better reviews and comes with helping hands. And heat guns are inexpensive so I didn't mind not having an AIO kit.

Any suggestions on a soldering station in the ~$50-60 price range that could be a better option? Preferably Amazon US. I already have an aMain cart loaded, and the Amazon cart too. I really don't want to add in a third shipment from another company. Not against it though. Just my preference.

Thanks for all the help earlier!

I'm looking for a flux that I can use for tinning my wires for xt60 plugs and for shortening wires for custom lengths.

Searching Amazon I see there are the standard flux pastes, but I'm see some fluid like flux as well in dripper bottles. (The two representative in the photo)

I've never used a fluid in a bottle before. And it's been 20ish years since I've even used an iron and other solder tools. Is there a best option between using the two? Is one easier for beginners to get used to tinning and connecting leads?

I'm switching from Hobbywing components to Castle (motor and ESC components for RC cars) and need to step up my sliding game (basically from scratch for how long it's been). I was trained in the army back in the late 90's to solder for my job working on the AH-64 Apache electrical systems. But since I got out I haven't touch anything. So I'm just going to start from a basic beginner standpoint and learn.

Should I just stick to the paste? Or is it fine to use a less viscus fluid to flow between the wires?

I'm looking to build basically a torpedo. I dont know anything about RC stuff, and this may fall a bit outside of RC, but the idea is to hopefully take a battery, a motor, a prop, and some sort of timer and shove it into a pipe with the prop attached to the back.

I want to attach this to a duck decoy to move the decoy around, and ideally have it spinning the prop for 10 seconds at a time then wait 10 seconds and so on till the battery dies.

The pre made ones have terrible reviews and look like cheap temu type stuff or you buy the $150 plus swimming decoys.

I just figured this pipe idea may be a cheap alternative, any suggestions on where to start or what to buy or whatever thoughts you have would be great!
