Hello, Are you a hobbyist? Do you like Radio controlled crafts? Are you interested in making your own crafts? Let's discuss ideas here. I will update with information on designing your own car or plane later. 5 Likes |

mebad: Welcome! I am actually working on a Quadcopter. It was scheduled for test run today but one of the motors failed. I have ordered for a replacement but will post pictures of the work so far. Please stay tuned. 3 Likes |

Sorry, people. I was actually working on a project and planned posting pictures and steps after I get it to work. It was a quad copter. (You'll understand why I used past tense later) I used the following: 4pcs 2212 1000kv brushless motors. 4pcs ESCs Kk 2.15 flight controller Turnigy 9x Radio Transmitter and receiver (8Ch) Zippy 3000mah 3S lipo battery. After setting up and configuration, I went outdoors to test the quad. 1st trial crashed into a tree. Luckily, no damage was done. The second time, it gained altitude fast. And in a twinkle of an eye, it disappeared into the sky. A 3-hour long search couldn't find it. I'm still searching though. So sad! |

Javen: If I know exactly what you're looking for, I could help you buy from online stores. |

Pls am currently working on a mercedes g wagon model, nd am having problems knowing where to get high torque motors nd rc receivers in lagos |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by ogocology: 12:24am On Mar 01, 2017 |
franclinstiles19:[left][/left] What's your model's size? What size of motor are you looking for? Not sure if you can get rc RX in Lagos. I usually buy from US or Singapore. You can also get them from China |

I've built a radio controlled plane before and I've flown it a couple of times. It was really fun to after months of research, fly something I built with my own hands. It did come with its own set of challenges as everything I did was done manually. You can imagine cutting plywood and shaping them into several ribs (the wing profile) with just a saw and sandpaper. It was well worth it anyways. Unfortunately, we don't have open spaces around and where I used previously is not so conducive so my plane is disassembled and chilling off in my wardrobe. 4 Likes 2 Shares

brendan007: That's great! It always feels good to have a project take off all the work. Unfortunately, space can be a hindrance. Also, getting accessories can be difficult and costly. RC planes/drones is quite an expensive hobby. After I crashed my first model, I ordered a new frame and other parts. I've been waiting for weeks now. The waiting kills the excitement and enthusiasm. |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by brendan007: 9:03pm On Mar 30, 2017 |
ogocology:Where did you order from? I usually order from hobbyking or aliexpress. Takes between two to three weeks. The hobby is quite expensive. Recall having to spend over $80 just to ship my package because it contained a pair of batteries- it was via FedEx and got it in a week. The hobby is quite exciting. |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by ogocology: 8:48pm On Apr 02, 2017 |
brendan007: I buy from both sites too. High tech pieces like Tx/Rx and flight controllers from HK and others like props, servo leads and motors from aliexpress. Frames too.. Usually takes 3 weeks or 4 at most but has been taking much longer since after the Chinese new year. It very difficult to get batteries now due to new regulations on transporting lipos. I ordered 3 PCs from a store in the US and shipping is free. I have one 450-sized quad now. Nothing beats the fun, bro. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend! 1 Like |

ogocology:I'm considering building either a quadcopter or helicopter but I'd prefer the Helicopter. Not quite certain which of the two will cost more. Anyways, I'll do my research. |

Javen: Drop your number. I will call you |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by ogocology: 10:18am On Apr 17, 2017 |
brendan007: A helicopter costs less based on materials needed. You need only 2 motors and a servo. The design is abit trickier, I think. I do not plan to take that on right now. Still practicing on improving my quad-flying skills.. 1 Like |

where do you get the component |
Re: RC Cars, Drones And Planes by ogocology: 2:41am On Apr 22, 2017 |
brendan007: These things can be tricky, bro. A crash can dent your wallet and dampen enthusiasm. So you gotta learn to fly them right. I have a supplier that sends batteries from US. Shipping is free. Let me know what you need and I'll check the cost for you. I just got 3 new lipos myself
