unimog123 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 Very nice truck, I like it! However, I have one question - Why did you use two BBs and recievers? Well, the BBs for centering the weight, but why doubble reciever? Because of power consumption? I don't think so, Two Ls and servo with lights does not consume so much power like RC Buggy motor ;) However, I'm not sure ;) PS: looking forward to see the video ;) Thanks. About the battery boxes, I thought a seat would look good placed in between the internal rollcage since it would have been much harder to secure a battery box there instead. So I had 2 rechargeable batteries lying around and therefore I could put one on either side of the seat in the cab for more power,(1 battery for L motors/ 1 battery for servo and lights), and better balance and weight distribution.

Thanks, I though so, but I wasn't sure. Now I am. Quote

Ha Ha! "Lying around" I don't even have one! Quote
unimog123 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah, this past holiday season (Christmas and my Birthday) I got 2 more rechargeable battery boxes after I bought 1 over the summer and charger of course. So 3 in total. Quote
unimog123 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Wow that was fast. Looks great, I can't wait to see it perform! Unfortunately I have recently tried to find a way to upload video to my blog, but to do so I would have to pay 60 DOLLARS A YEAR!!!!! Unless it is possible to upload videos without a video upgrade I will not be able to post videos of my creations. I will keep trying though. Quote

You can create a free account on YouTube or Vimeo and upload there... then just link or embed the code in your blog. Quote
unimog123 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 I have looked at this Vimeo place, but I do not know if the videos go public among the site or are confined to your own personal account and settings. If anyone knows I would appreciate a response AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so I can figure out this whole video uploading dilemma. Thanks Quote
timslegos Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 In both Vimeo and Youtube, as soon as you hit publish, it is published to the world! No fees or cost involved at all! Then you can embed the link in your site to make it easy to watch. tim Quote
unimog123 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 I'm not so sure I want to do that, is there a way to keep it private through your settings or something similar? Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I'm not so sure I want to do that, is there a way to keep it private through your settings or something similar? Yes, I think there is option to make it available just via the link...But I'm not sure... Edited January 31, 2014 by Gzzig Quote
unimog123 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks, hopefully I will be able to use this website soon and start uploading videos. Quote
