Which Orlandoo build?
 

I'm looking to get an orlandoo in either a defender or jeep, but I'd like to use my flysky gt5 radio with it.

Is there a specific kit # that includes everything but the receiver and radio? Is anyone running a flysky radio with these tiny trucks?

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

All the normal kits are just the chassis/tires/body. you'll need to order a servo motor, esc, reciever all separate.

and any radio works so long as you got the receiver for it.

just make sure when you order a kit of your preference, you pick up a n20 motor for it (suggest the 300rpm) and a ESC. for the servo there are a few sizes that fit, but it seems like the 1.7-2.2g servo's are best. I purchased a 3.7g servo and had to custom mount it as it was too large!

I do see kits with electronics and/or a radio, but i also see the barebones kits being sold. If I can get one with "everything" but the radio, that would be a good start, but I appreciate the other suggestions.

Does the 300 rpm motor offer enough torque for crawling?

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

I feel the 300rpm is the most balanced of the motors, it gives it a little speed to move, while maintaining plenty of torque to crawl.

if you intend to exclusively do crawling you can go with a slower motor, but you may find it feels a little TOO slow. and anything over 300rpm is better if you do more trail-like driving without as much crawling.

many users prefer the ~200rpm range for their trucks, and it's not a bad option either, I just personally felt it was TOO slow at full throttle!

I heard the wrangler has a metal gear in the axle and the f150 you have to buy it as an option.

I’m planning on a Jeep someday myself. Look forward to seeing your posts on it!

There are many threads on the Orlandoos in this forum. All the ins and outs, shortcomings, and surprises as well as simple and complicated mods. Phaximus has brought a lot of the info.

Does anyone know if they offer the Jeep preassembled? I do not want to build it. I just want to drive. lol.

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

No.

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

While I totally want one now that I have a BlackJack. I do not want to put it together. Those little screws...lol.

I love all the options you get with them. That looks WAY cool. But the pricing adds up to get one rolling.

Get the Jeep, Flysky is fine because i use on all of them. I used 120rpm motor for serious indoor crawling cause they have plenty of torque for group convoy if you wanted to push other guys on the trails. My next Defender build has 80rpm. Stay away from F150 unless you like to collect them. "thumbsup"

Beautiful trucks! I ordered the Jeep with everything except the receiver/radio. Looking forward to building it! It'll come with the 120rmp motor (I believe), so I'll go up or down on the next motor from there after I've had a chance to try it.

Invest in a good head lamp!

I am in the middle of assembling my jeep and couldn't believe the size of the pins and screws. Keep a clean and organized workspace as well. Luckily they give some extra quantities.

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

I use a headlamp for everything! Also, make sure to magnetize the screwdriver! You couldn't build this kit without a magnetic tip.

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

The worst part for me on my Jeep build was those friggin' little smd lights. :roll: As if the screws aren't small enough for an old man, solderin' those #*%&-ers is a bitch! I went thru 3 or 4 fails to get 'em all lit up. :lmao:
Have fun and post 'er up!

I'm sure! The electronics are the part I'm dreading the most. I can weld, but not solder :lmao:

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

I heard you can get presoldered smd lights for cheap ton ebay. That might be an option - I haven't even touched the lighting on my truck yet [emoji23]

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

Yep, I got some for rock-lites on my TRX. They're definitely the way to go if you don't mind a little wait and a little more cost. "thumbsup"

Hm! I will have to look into that. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Which Orlandoo build?
 

I skipped the lights on my D110 and my son's Jeep; would be kinda neat, but not really necessary and we are using 2ch radios I already had. Then I added larger tires to my D110 and had to cut the front lamp holders for clearance under full-tuck, so guess I'll never wire mine...
