Radiomaster MT12 EdgeTX - 4WS Four Wheel Steering Jacob Scherer 2024-01-06 | Another tip on how to set up 4WS with Drive Modes on the Radiomaster MT12! Buckle up, because we are getting pretty technical with this one... Feel free to pause or slow the video down. Also feel free to ask a question in the comments below!Note, if you need to trim or reverse a servo, I suggest doing so in the Outputs screen and leaving the Mixes alone.Another note, instead of turning the Global Var into an Input and then using that Input as a multiplier in the Mixes, you can also directly use a Global Var as the weight in the Mixes tab. I recently re-learned that after making and posting this video... Let me know if you want to see an update to this video with that method of setup instead.As you may be able to hear, I also added Special Functions to play audio files for the different modes, but, I didn't go over how to do that. Originally I wanted to wait until there were official sounds to post directions on how to do that. I've opened a request with the Official EdgeTX Sounds team to add the sounds there, but until then, here is a GitHub link for the audio files I made:github.com/jakezilla/FourWheelSteerSoundsAdd those sounds to your SD Card and add Special Functions to play the tracks when your Drive Mode is active.Here is my request on the official EdgeTX Sound GitHub; you can keep an eye on that and see if/when the sounds are added:github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx-sdcard-sounds/issues/9500:00 Intro and Background02:15 Demonstration03:02 Trim Step Change04:03 Logical Switches04:54 Drive Modes05:44 Global Variables08:02 Input Mapping09:40 Mixes10:55 Outro
Radiomaster MT12 Edge TX - Motor On Axle MOA Setup with Overdrive, Dig, and Burn Jacob Scherer 2024-01-06 | Just a quick video on setting up Motor on Axle with the MT12. I've already posted a video on this, but had some suggestions, and this is the update!Note 1 - Make sure to calibrate your ESCs without any overdrive active.Note 2 - Most modern ESCs will calibrate just fine with full throttle being 100% or -100%, but if yours doesn't, you can invert the channel on the Outputs screen.00:00 Intro and Background02:50 Demonstration04:24 Logical Switch for Forward and Reverse05:40 Mixes10:17 Dig and Burn with Trim Switch11:46 Outro
Radiomaster MT12 EdgeTX - Motor On Axle (MOA) Mixing Jacob Scherer 2023-12-17 | Keeping the theme going this week, I've seen more questions on EdgeTX setup, in this case configuring Motor On Axle (MOA) rock crawlers!00:00 Introduction to Motor On Axle00:51 Example of MOA02:10 Configure simple MOA03:31 Adding in ratio knob05:03 Changing offsets for ratio knob06:10 "Fixing" rear ESC direction06:55 Adding Dig08:08 Outro
Radiomaster MT12 EdgeTX - Trim Switches as Outputs for Dig, Diff Locks, Winch, 2 speed, plows, etc! Jacob Scherer 2023-12-16 | EdgeTX treats trim switches differently than the other input switches, and using them to drive outputs can be a little confusing. Here I show you the easiest way I know of to configure the 2 way momentary trim switches to do different common outputs.Joshua Bardwell's video on using these switches for Dual Rates and other things : youtube.com/watch?v=DcJnIJSHdgg00:00 Introduction00:57 Flysky Nobel NB4 comparison02:03 Momentary 2 way switch for Winches, Dig, etc04:04 2 way set and hold for 2 speed, plows, diff locks, etc06:31 Outro
Losi Promoto MX - when am I going to get mine?!? Jacob Scherer 2023-07-22 | The Losi Promoto MX has been the hottest thing in the RC world in a long time. The only thing that hotter is the discussion around when everyone is going to see one!In this video I try to use some facts and some educated guessing to estimate when I’ll see my bike that I ordered on June 27th.Sources: http://web.archive.org/web/20230627192735/horizonhobby.com/product/1-4-promoto-mx-motorcycle-rtr-with-battery-and-charger-pro-circuit/LOS06002.htmlfacebook.com/LosiRace.Inspiredinstagram.com/losi.rcyoutube.com/@LosiRacing
SCX24 Furitek Lizard with stock brushed 88T, vs stock ESC with 88T Jacob Scherer 2022-03-23 | After running a friend’s crawler with the Furitek Iguana brushed ESC and FlySky Noble radio, I was wondering how the Lizard+brushed motor would feel with the stock radio. The low speed functionality is just outstanding with the Furitek. The lack of whine at low speeds is super nice too. I know the Axial V2 electronics are much quieter than the V1, but I really don’t like the V2 transmitter’s lack of High-Medium-Low speed settings, and the ergonomics just aren’t as good for me.I didn’t record it, but I was just messing around on some indoor obstacles, and I genuinely think having better low speed control makes it noticeably easier to get through some tricky lines.

Tiny Whoop Racing at Dollar Hobbyz 2/19/2022 Jacob Scherer 2022-02-20 | Another great night of racing in the books! This run was nothing special, other than the crazy (lucky) slip THROUGH the railing. Already looking forward to the next race on March 19th!

How does MNs fastest stack up against the 707? Jacob Scherer 2020-09-30 | 707 video credit : youtube.com/watch?v=uj7tfG4D6yE&fbclidJohn's got his car running out FAST, but Minnesota exists in a vacuum. We haven't had any cross pollination, so it is hard to know where we would sit against the fastest NoPrep guys.Perspective is tough on this one, but it looks dang close!
DJI Superview Test Jacob Scherer 2020-06-29 | I wanted to experiment with the 2 common ways I've seen to take 4:3 video and turn it in to the 'GoPro Style Superview'.

DJI Goggle Analog Adapter Module Reveal and Discussion Jacob Scherer 2020-04-28 | Files here : thingiverse.com/thing:4316407I made a case to mount the URUAV v2 analog module adapter to the DJI FPV Goggles. Only additional hardware requried is a GoPro screw and nut. You can use a standard M5x20 screw and M5 nut if you don't have GoPro stuff laying around.I also highly suggest removing the switch from the URUAV v2 board and just jumpering the bottom two holes. I've seen a lot of these types of switches go bad over time.
Social Distancing RC Fun (sorry for the length) (lol) Jacob Scherer 2020-04-13 | Not ones to let this situation get us down, a few buddies and I met up to tear up a local park! While, of course, following recommended guidelines for distancing and sanitation. Radio Control by its nature lends itself to interacting at distance, and the parks are empty of leagues and sports, so let's take advantage of it!Drinking game idea: drink every time someone says 'fun' or 'hoot'.

Blade mCPX FPV STYLE!! - FPVkng Jacob Scherer 2017-02-19 | I had an old mCPX on the shelf that I haven't flown in 5 years, and it has always bummed me out that it never really got used. I decided to install a small FPV unit and see what it is like to fly collective pitch from a first person view!VM275 camera - http://a.co/gXWoB6MYou can find this camera all over now, but I'm not good at waiting, and Prime 2 day shipping is nice! Also, if you are into Tiny Whoop, it comes with a free canopy!
Eachine QX70 Update! - Motor and Prop Swap - FPVkng Jacob Scherer 2016-12-08 | Out-of-the-box performance of the QX70 was lacking. Time for tinkering! After a prop and motor swap, this thing is ripping like it should!I broke a spar on the frame, and it is deforming/prop-rubbing more than I expected. Maybe not as stout as I originally though...
Eachine QX70 - First Impressions - FPVkng Jacob Scherer 2016-12-06 | EDIT- check out my update video youtu.be/ads-m5vfl9wDHL just dropped off my QX70! I charged the battery and shot a quick first impressions video.TL;DW - Punch is severely lacking, but the frame, FC, and AIO FPV unit are great. It would have been awesome if it was a Whoop Killer out of the box, but I've got high hopes and I'm looking forward to tinkering with props/motors/batteries to get this thing ripping!

Blowing out my Irrigation System Jacob Scherer 2015-11-04 | Just a quick video of my method for blowing out my irrigation system this year. Most people are under the impression that you need to pay a guy with a huge tow behind compressor to blow out your lines, but you really don't. I have 20 zones, with 95 3.2GPM heads, and with all 3 of these compressors I was able to run continuously keeping a pre-regulator pressure of 90PSI. I tested without Unit 1 connected and I was able to hold 60PSI. I'm sure I would have been able to do it with only the 10 gallon Harbor Freight compressor, with occasional breaks to let the pre-regulator pressure build up.The 3 compressors are all on different electrical circuits so no breakers tripped. They are plumbed to a common manifold. From there, I have a ball valve for emergency isolation if needed. Then I have a regulator set to 55-60PSI which is about what my water well provides.Unit 1 - My dad's Frankenpressor. Compressor is from a unit that cracked the tank. Tank is a 30 gallon Craftsmen unit that blew the compressor.Unit 2 - Farm built unit; gift from my step dad. Compressor is of unknown origin and the tank is an old propane tank.Unit 3 - 10 gallon 2.5HP Harbor Freight oiled compressor. This thing is by far the highest CFM rated 120V compressor under $150 I could find. It has similar numbers to $300+ 30 gallon units. Advertised at 5.3 CFM @ 90 PSI and 6.2 CFM @ 40 PSI, I actually get that kind of performance out of it. It is LOUD though, especially compared to the other two.
