In this video i take "pointless novelty" to a new extreme with a voice controlled RC car ramp. The adjustable kick plate can be changed remotely from wherever you are operating your RC vehicle just by using voice commands.

Off to the track to give the wireless engine SCADA module its first field test. The EGT and CHT aspects are tested in this video with the RPM additions in a future video. FYI, there is about a 500mSec lag between the run video and the display video with the display being slightly ahead of the run video

In this video prepare to get a little disoriented as Frankentruck takes you for a rough ride.

The OBR 47cc case reed powered Rovan 450 XLT Frankentruck goes to the track to see if the new home made/home anodized camber links can take a beating and survive

This is part 2 of a review on using the Caswell anodizing kit and in this video the 47cc OBR powered Rovan Frankentruck gets its recently machined turnbuckles anodized. Some things learned are surface preparation is indeed very important!

In this video i gear Frankentruck down a bit with a 62 tooth ring gear from a Losi 5ive T 2.0. This replaces the 58 stock size and of course a field test and carnage occur.

This video is part 2 of the wireless SCADA for RC's. I give a quick review of various ways to grab the RPM's with some scope profiles of the ugliness that comes off the ignition system. I conclude with a DIY hall effect sensor that gets "shoehorned" into the tight flywheel housing on these Taylor big bores

The Sledge gets an inaugural beating at a naturally formed glacial bowl.

This is the first video in a series on building a wireless SCADA system to monitor engine/chassis parameters from the pit area on 1/5th scale RC vehicles. Next in the series will dive into RPM and LiPo parameters.

In this video the Taylor 50cc powered Vekta goes to the hill climb site to test the scaled down production level PCB version of the failsafe RC kill switch. The low battery voltage sensing had to be tweaked a bit in software.

In this video i finish the aluminum battery/receiver combo box for the Taylor powered Kraken Vekta. Then it goes to the track for a test run. As usual the roll cage gets some inadvertent testing as well.

In this video the "failsafe kill switch" prototype is now on a PCB. Its impossible for 100% failsafe, but i'm trying to get as close as possible. Also i give a quick preview of the next electronics project for the 1/5th scale big bore platform. This project will be the start of a wireless SCADA system for remote monitoring of engine/chassis parameters with future upgrades.

In this video i dig out some 7075 aluminum, fire up the mill and fabricate some heavier duty hinge pin braces for the Losi 5ive T and its many clones
