New Receiver idea

Post by eddy »

I cant beleive nobody has had this idea yet, but if you take out a micro rc plane receiver and put it on a bit/zip, you could possibly get propo and all of that good stuff we all like.

I don't know if anyone has actually done it in this country, but in Europe, especially Germany, I've seen some bits adapted with micro airplane receivers.

You should check out the TTTT Table Top Truck Trials... just search TTTT, here's a thread on tinyRC that has sources for the parts, check out the electronics links. http://tinyrc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8583

Here's a thread that has some good pics and links: http://tinyrc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8583

Not a problem. You might search some threads here too...there were a couple of sources for lipos that a few pimps found. If you're looking at any of the past builds and see a piggybacked foil packet, that's the lipo. Now, if I could just remember who did what. If I think of who had them I'll see if I can find the thread with the link.

For something bit size? How small are they?

As you can tell, I've obviously never owned a mini z. :???:

About the size of a Zip Zap.

Read the thread betty links to. He details his whole build up, and shows the board in the car.

It's not that no one thought of the idea, it's that many of us played with bits because they are relatively inexpensive. Hobby grade micro-electronics can get fairly pricey. MiniZ/Iwaver PCBs however could be found reasonably cheap.

Thanks Dave, I'll have to find that link, I have an extra epoch PCB that I've been thinking up uses for. I may use it for a 6x6 build eventually. But it's good to know that after I add too much juice and cook the epoch pcb that I can use a mini z.

OH, and Eddy, PCB= printed circuit board...it's the flipped up part in the picture below. BTW, it's not my picture I borrowed it from R7R.
