This will be my review of the MZ YY2003 – a 1/12 scale 6x6 military truck. This truck is a nice looking scaler truck with full proportional throttle and steering, working LED headlights, 6wd with locked diffs, and a 380-sized motor powering everything.
Banggood sent me this truck for review (two of them actually, first one broke). Thank you Banggood for allowing regular guys like me to review your new products!

There is also the YY2004 version of this truck, in a slightly different body style, in a grey/green color –

On to the review –
My box arrived in pretty rough shape. Banggood did their typical packing job of a layer or two of foam wrap over the box, but it was no match for some angry postal employee –

Today I am looking at the Eachine E011 "Block Drone". This is a small quad that is another "Inductrix Clone". The headline feature that makes it stand out it the top plate has building block / Lego attachments! Also, it comes with a lego-ish mini-figure, that gets to ride the quad like a skateboard.
Fun, right? Well, let's get into this review, and see if this is "just another clone" or if it can stand out...

Unboxing -
The package arrived in typical Banggood wrapping – one layer of foam sheet padding, wrapped in packing tape. Also, it had a “Bump” on one side of the package that experience told me was probably the AC wall plug converter.
I assumed correct. Although, I later realized, this truck didn’t need the converter, as the charger is a USB-plug. There is nothing in the box that could use this converter. Oh well, glad you were thinking of us anyway.

(I am trying to move my reviews over here to the blog section to easy reference. This review was originally posted in the "Electric Powered Cars" section here at RCG. I've made some minor edits from the original thread)
This is my Unboxing / review thread for my new RacerStar 2838 4500kv motor and 35a ESC combo.
I previously had the RacerStar F540 and 45a ESC combo, but while testing the waterproofness, the ESC went up in smoke. (apparently only the motor is waterproof). I contacted Banggood, and they agreed to send me a new unit, and Tobey gave me the option of switching combo’s, so I picked this 380-sized motor and ESC. I am hoping to test this combo in my 1/16 4wd Mini-Trooper SCT, and in my 1/12 2wd truggy. The Mini Trooper came with a 2040 4800kv brushless motor, and is now running a 2445 4700kv motor. The 1/12 Truggy is running a 390 brushed motor.
Combo currently sells for $26.99 USD and can be found here:
http://www.banggood.com/Racerstar-28...5056684201606A
Unboxing –
Packaging was standard Banggood. Which is to say not much. Plastic bag/envelope for the outer layer, with a few wraps of foam around the RacerStar box. It arrived undamaged, though, so all is good. Inside the small black RacerStar box, was another bubble wrap bag, with the motor ESC combo inside, and a one page photocopied instruction page.
This page gives specs for the various RacerStar combos, and shows the different programing options.

This will be a mini-review of my new soldering station – the “Create It” Digital Soldering Station from Radio Shack.
TLRD –
60W power
3 Presets temp setting, Plus manual temperature settings
Heats up really fast
Solders 10g wire onto bullet plugs quick and easy.
I like it.
Longer version –
For the past year or so, I’ve been using a very old 150w soldering gun for about 90% of my soldering. Last Friday, I was soldering a plug on a new battery, and crossed the leads with the hot tip of my gun, and
POW! Sparks everywhere, and my gun tip was ruined…
So off to my local radio shack I went. My first choice was a new tip for my old gun, but they didn’t have what I needed. My second though was a cheap 60w stick iron for about $15. But there on the bottom shelf was a full soldering station. Digital temp control, three presets temps, plus manual control, it used the Radio Shack “Proline” style tips, plus it was only $89 – cheaper than the TrackPower digital soldering station from Tower hobbies. There has been a lot of talk on the forums about how nice it is to have a full soldering station vs just a stick iron, so I decided to try it out.

This thread will be an unboxing and review of the Racerstar F540 3000kv motor / 45a ESC combo. I received this combo as a review sample from Banggood.com, where it is currently selling for $35.99 (price may change) For the motor, there are options for 3000kv, 3300kv, 3930kv, and 4370kv.
http://www.banggood.com/Racerstar-F5...5056684201606A
I choose the lower KV because once testing is done, I am planning on this motor living in an older 2wd 1/10 racing buggy. I am hoping the F540 will be a good “middle ground” power plant for older cars – similar power compared the brushed motors these cars were designed for, (not so much power I must worry about stripping hard to find gears) but with the higher efficiency of modern brushless motors. Will this motor be up to the challenge? We will find out!
Today, the package arrived. Unboxing time! Shipping time from China, with the basic Banggood postage was about three weeks to Texas. The package was “soft packed” – outer layer was a tough plastic bag, inside was a box wrapped with several layers of foam padding – Good packing.

I have been running my Mini Trooper now for about a year, and decided to make this blog post as kind of a long term review, and a catch-all for all the modifications I have done to it...
First, The Truck!
(From Hobby King)
.jpg?h=d3cevJZ5Trfb2Uf0HHdOZg)
The Turnigy 1/16 4WD Mini Trooper is great fun with plenty of performance features usually only available on larger buggies such as fully adjustable suspension, oil filled shocks, metal diffs, diff cups, dog-bones, and F/R anti-sway bars.
The chassis features a twin deck design made from tough 2mm fibreglass and the shaft driven 4WD system is protected from the shock of landing big air by a spur gear mounted slipper clutch - making the Mini Trooper our strongest electric 1/16th Almost Ready to Run car yet!
Equipped with a 25A brushless power system, this little 1/16 Short course truck is both powerful and fast. Small and quiet enough to zip around the living room on a 2S LiPo pack, or take on tougher terrain at your local dirt track or park - the Mini Trooper is at home on loose surfaces.
Tough, 4wd and Quick!.....What more could you want!
Spec:
Motor: 4800KV Brushless inrunner (2040)
ESC: 25A Brushless (with Reverse)
Battery: 2S LiPo (98x25x40mm Max Size) w/ XT-60 connector [Required]
Servo: 15g Micro
Traction: Full Time 4WD, Twin Diff with slipper clutch on Spur gear
Length: 245mm
Width: 190mm
Height: 120mm to top of Cab
Ground Clearance: 20~30mm Adjustable
Required.

I recently received a PXtoys Sandy Land 1/18 MT. So far, I am still in the “getting to know the truck” stage, so this review will be more of a First Look. I will try to update this post as I get drive time on the truck. BangGood.com sent me this truck as a review sample. Most of the below was written for the BangGood review, before I realized they only can take 500 words… LOL
Truck can be found here
After I finally got my 1/16 sct running right, and I started having a lot of fun with the small truck, I also stared to realize how limited I am when running my big RC’s around the yard. Most of my RC’s are 1/10 or 1/8 scale, and very fast. I have a lot of fun with them, but need a lot of room to let them “stretch their legs”. Running them in my yard is a bit frustrating, because they are simply too fast. That 1/16 sct, though, seemed about right. This leads me to think I need to expand my collection of cars in the 1/18 and 1/16 size range. This leads me to the Sandy Land. When I first looked at the Sandy Land, I was not sure if it would fall in the Hobby grade, or Toy grade, but decided to jump anyways…
Unboxing –
The package arrived in what I have learned is typical for a lot of Chinese postage – Badly smashed looking.
Opening the box, though, was good news – no damage.
