Get One Here on Amazon: amzn.to/3qT49HR This is a 1/18 scale FJ80 "80 Series" Land Cruiser - (it was available in the US from 1990 to 1997), called the 'Katana" from ROC HOBBY. The noise form the stock electronic speed control and receiver is hideous and I want to swap it out. The only issue?! It a combo.. and I will need a SMALL ESC and SMALL Receiver. I hunt through my stuff and bust out the TEKIN BXR ESC made for small RC models.. and it fit PERFECTLY with my Spektrum SR515 5 CH RX. Now, to get it all in there.. and see if it makes any difference..

Nice! In my opinion, that's the best version of the Land Cruiser. The 80 series, it was available in the US from 1990 to 1997. Would love to have one of these 1/18 scales, I'm loving my 1/24th, but I think a 1/18 would be a little bit more usable outside.

Nice work finding out why it was so loud! Never thought about it being the acoustics! I might try a small bit of foam surrounding it on mine and see how that works before changing it. I'm still jealous of your indoor course..... 😍

@GordoAquarium 3 года назад

Did the foam work out fine or did it still do the noise

It's an excellent upgrade for this Katana, the test run is conclusive and of course your explanations of the work to be done are perfect.

Doggone it, I love that Little truck, but for now, I love my 1967 Chevy pickup 1/24. Went out with it first time Sunday , my friends at backyard crawler addicts on Facebook. It was their fifth year anniversary of being in RC, and there course they start building, the last three years I've had the pleasure being part of . When I first got back into the hobby 2012 I had nobody for 4 years , just me myself and I, and your videos. Now I have places to go, and have met a lot of great people. And I will always forever be grateful to you medic. For inspiring me back into the hobby. Thank you. You and your family have a great holiday season

I'll never forget my first job out of truck driving school, hauling tomatoes, they told me there's only one thing we don't do around here, turn into the field and cross the rows, you have to follow the row and turn at the road or you'll get jacked around like nobody's business so guess what I did, crossed the rows and put the pedal to the metal in first gear, lost a lot of tomatoes to the ketchup and was sore for a week 😆

@aljensen7779 3 года назад

With all these 1/18 scales, I'm still waiting for the first Teton to show up. Aaron, now you're talking my line of work. The reason the whine was so loud is that the vibrations making the whine were transmitted into the body shell. The hood being up had very little to do with the volume, because the vibrations in the entire body were being converted to acoustical energy. Much of this is due to the screws keeping the body firmly attached. A cheaper solution would be to convert to a looser hold-down system & turf the screws.

@poppygoatshomestead 3 года назад

Its not just a shell though Al, it has a complete bolted interior, which would deaden the vibration. And the BOX aka engine bay definitely amplified the sound of the ESC/RX combo. That had nothing to do with the body harmonics, brudda!

@peregrineflow7354 3 года назад

Try some rubber washers on the body mounts and some bits of heavy double sided tape on the underside panels that are resonating. Or take it to Fargo and have Shep Proudfoot apply that undercoating

@addamwright1733 3 года назад

Maybe try and add some tiny O-rings between the body and the mounts to further isolate the noise? It is wayyyy better than before. The original video totally turned me off to them but with a few tweaks and mads it maybe worth looking into :)

@henrysimas4747 3 года назад

@joeowen6121 3 года назад

Have you considered putting a thin rubber O-ring between the body mount and body as well as a single layer of Gorilla Tape around the transmission clearance tunnel on the floorpan as well as the inside of the fender wells. Maybe it would serve as good dampening and breakdown some of the accoustics. Sorry I'm late to the show! Been on Christmas Vacation for a couple weeks!

Fms fire horse esc/receiver is silent on RU-vid video. But finding one for sale is difficult. It also has adjustable drag brake on the controller and more light modes.

@caseywattler6027 3 года назад

Have you or Lyle tried putting a heavy grease in the friction shocks to helping reduce the bouncing and improve dampening. The tops of the shocks come off of these 1/24 scale i believe.

@fun_rc 3 года назад

If you ask me, 1/18-16 got their attention way before 1/24s ... with all the chinese (wpl, etc...) models out there....the only problem with them beeing that you have to instantly upgrade the transmission's and electronics (they get broke after 1-2 uses), otherwise ...they have pretty good looking/scale hard shells and for the price...i see you guys didnt use/know them.

@sanjayrego3644 2 года назад

Since the body is already so sound resonate, I bet engine sounds would sound great if you could fit a speaker inside. Maybe in the cargo area?

@donaldsneffe 3 года назад

Nice, but the Tekin is still not totally silent. Check the AS12/6RW EASY ESC, 18 kHz, totally silent. Will make a video (in the Katana) soon. Have to change front turning light position to outwards, looks award inside. Did you use a different light controller, because turning lights still work?

@bcochener 3 года назад

Doesn't look like you lost the blinkers. Aren't they tied into the servo plug wired to the body? Anyway, great vid - I'm looking for a quieter ESC option as well.

@davidballoid2118 3 года назад

You could have used some gasket tape on the underside of the body, maybe some inside the cab on the floorboards to reduce noise resignation. High end full size cars and SUVs have sound deadening rolled on the inside of the panels to reduce cabin noise.

@SwampersRC 3 года назад

I'm thinking you might be able to reduce the volume of the transmission noise by using rubber o-rings to isolate the body from the frame!?! The difference in the ESC noise is pretty surprising though!

@say1033 3 года назад

Could you spray the undercarriage with a light coat of bed liner? Work as a sound deadener. Just a thought.

What tire will upgrade can you recommend, to give me some more ground clearance at the differential pumpkins. Keep in mind that I will be driving, in mud, as well as rock crawling. I'm thinking maybe a 2.2 Tire and Wheel combo?
