I wanna be Dave
Decided to get an Orlandoo kit so that I can drive it around the desk/room. My first micro scale rig, and now it has me contemplating getting some other micros.
Build Details:
Orlandoo Hunter OH35A01 Jeep Wrangler kit!
1206 SMD LEDs in Red and Yellow off of eBay
Xtra Speed Aluminum Clock Mass Beadlock Wheel
This is the progress so far.
Brand new kit!
Begin Build!
forgot to take picture of putting gearbox together.
Test fitting and test wiring. Eventually had to relocate the esc and receiver
Test fitting body
I'm now working on painting the body and waiting for my JST charge lead to come in so that I can charge the battery.
I've ordered some pre-wired SMD's for the rear as the kit provided ones just don't fit all that well. Hopefully the pre-wired ones do and are much sturdier. I've also ordered the Xtraspeed aluminum wheels, so those should look real nice.
Other than wiring up the rest of the lights, painting the body and assembling it.... the only issue I have is to figure out how to get rid of the pulsing. I've used brake caliper grease to see if it would help any on the axle gears. Loosening the axle housing a little seemed to help as it seems that having it secured too tight made the pulsing worse. If it takes time to get rid of the pulsing by wearing in the gears.... I wonder how long it would take.
