  • This is my custom design kit for Axial Maxximus XL2 FPV crawler.  Originally the model uses flexible sheet of thin plastic panel to cover the chassis all over which can easily squished and dent during roll over,  Now i've designed thick armored style 3d printed (rigid ABS plastic) armored body kit which protect the internal components inside the chassis better.  The kit also comes with night acessories such as adjustable light bucket kit to fit common 12V SMD LED  for extra lighting source when FPV driving at night. Original intention was to keep the design for myself since the kit only works for my 'home built' recycled parts bin crawler model which is unique for my build but since much of the R/C and FPV ground driving community request me to release it for custom builder i've decided to make these  *.STL package publicly available for free download.

  • Hits: 2,233
  • This is an adapter which helps to convert TURNIGY/FLYSKY 9X radio control transmitter from air to surface (ground) control so it can be used on ground models like cars, trucks, on-road and off-roader.  The aim is to limit the movement of the stick to 'one directional' control per-thumb stick; up and down or left to right without accidentally mixing about with other axis by accident hence 'direction limiter' adapter which is required to drive an R/C cars.    The adapter capable of 'self-centered' the stick by adding rubber band on the mounting if the stick doesn't have centering spring normaly for planes throttling.  It works with various stick configuration MODES.  The adapter is easy to install by unscrew the top thumb stick by hand then slide in the adapter.  The adapter can be sticky tape firm in place or screw in by making a small screw hole on the top and bottom of the flat surface stick gimbal for solid foundation.  You'll need to print 2x adapter to fit 2 sides.  I designed this adapter so i can used back my TURNIGY/FLYSKY 9X radio for long range FPV driving on my off-roader because the 9X support modular radio transmitter that can be swap for long range frequency and also more channel support.

  • This is a simple, multi-purpose and lightweight mini camera mounting kit for my cycling helmet. Previously i used GoPro Hero and SJCAM mounting accessories to mount mini camera such as RUNCAM 1 or any stick/candy bar style mini camera but i felt the mount is bulky, impractical to mount various mini/lightweight camera and also expensive to source out. So i designed my own mount that can accept any camera generically and also has USB cable holder for tidy up the connection so i doesn't get tangled as i moved around.

  • So i made these set of kit for my ground FPV used to be added live in-cockpit style driving environment more immerse and realstic feeling inside both on-road and off-road model use with the presence of dashboard panel and functional steering.  The kit consist of 3x main parts; base holder, dashboard and steering wheel parts movable via servo. So instead having just FPV camera pan around the emptiness void inside the cockpit by having real dashboard, steering wheel and additional driver figurine with arms and hands extended to movable steering column makes FPV driving more realistic and addictive like vide games especially for all those scale wheeled FPV hardcore addicts.  More details can be found at 3D printing page section - Click Here.

  • Hits: 28,937
  • I design this casing to accommodate my new SJCAM M10+ action camera to bolt into my multi-rotor/quadcopter/drone platform for aerial photography works.  The original casing provided by the manufacturer that is compatible for use on multi-rotor/quadcopter or any camera platform attachment was too heavy and tedious to use especially when pushing the button around the camera when its already mounted, plus it has no protection against lens scratches which prone to happen during usage.  So the new gimbal casing (XL-RCP 24.0 SJCAM M10 series camera gimbal casing) for SJCAM M10 helps to solve the above problem with some extra features.  More details can be found at 3D printing page section - Click Here.

  • 3d printed pan-tilt set for FPV optimized for ES Drifter Ultralight: XL-RCP 16.0 XYCLOPS : Cockpit camera pan-tilt for 808 #16.
    I designed this because it need to have extra camera tilting feature that able to view straight to ground while flying in cockpit view manner without adding extra weight and avoid looking too bulky. This kit is similar design to XL-RCP14.0 HAWX EYE but slightly beefy, rigid, heavy by few grams and high mounted behind the cockpit.  HAWX EYE runs on 3.7g servos while XYCLOPS run on powerful 9g servos (optionally with 180deg after market servo) which is more commonly use by most FPV / drone flight enthusiast.  The most prominent differences between them is the sizing and they way how the kit was mounted on the plane.  XYCLOPS originally was designed for on ES Drifter Ultralight plane, it has seat mounted post and adapter to attached to the main pillar of wing structure for rigid placement and vibration damping purposes.

    This kit reduce the weight of overall vs conventional pan-tilt system in the market yet able to utilized popular 9g size servo.  This kit still retain its original purpose for cockpit flying experience with extra camera tilting feature. The narrow profile design starting from 808's lens all the way to the back allow more aerodynamic efficiency against the wind and reduce drag.

  • The smallest 3d printed pan-tilt set for FPV: XL-RCP 14.0 HAWX EYE : Nano camera pan-tilt for 808 #16.

    I came out an idea to design a pan-tilt camera set small and light enough to be mounted on the nose of a small plane without affecting the CG (Center Gravity) for the use of FPV flight (First Person View).  Also most importantly giving me a good full freedom viewing from all angle at close ground proximity flight without being obstructed by cockpit dash view and wings.  Originally i had both plane: Drifter Ultralight on FPV using pan only via 808 #16 HD camera keychain with live video output to wireless feed flying via cockpit view to simulate realistic in-cockpit flight experience. However after years of flight its time to convert one of the Drifter Ultralight into "Search and Rescue" style FPV drone like capability which able to fly low altitude and camera able to browse at extremely lower angle to check out ground details and tracking discreet movement below the flight model.
