Re: Opti-Beast Prime
 

I have taken a break from anything major or picture worthy. I have been doing lights, wiring, and little odds and ends. Once i pull something together I'll catch everyone up.

I did try making a pallet out of styrene last night. Simple enough and i think it looks like a pallet.

But why would optimus prime need a pallet?

I have an idea for something that i think you'll like, just waiting on materials. :)

I think I know why prime would need a pallet. If it's what I think it is I can't wait to see how you make em.

How about you take a roll of the dice and guess?

Energon cubes maybe?

Dice blanks from amazon.

Re: Opti-Beast Prime
 

Perfect find. Would never thought of that. I've been working on a build that's kinda related to yours. My truck is named after one of primes enemies. Bruticus.

That looks like one of those pallets that you step on just a little wrong and roll your ankle... Do not like!

Re: Opti-Beast Prime
 

The ones with uneven gaps.........Yeah its one of them.

Life has been getting in the way of finishing anything. We have been working a little here and there.

Alright Optimus Prime says, get your ars back on track and make me a runner. So back to work for me, Prime is just so demanding.

A major piece of the puzzle arrived last night, a flysky gt3c in silver. 3 channels of glory:lmao:. Optibeast is going to need a little more then 3 channels, my current tally is steering, motor, 2-speed shifter, gun turret, talking optimus voice box and eventually a winch.

The first think to go was hack it, I'll skip that as it has been done and by better. I will say that I used a usb st programming dongle, and the wire order is different then using the programmer shown in the videos. If someone wants to know I have 3 more gt3c to do, I can provide info on the differences.

First step 2 speed transmission.
I struggled a little with this, but only a little. In case someone else is planning this.

Power on--> select model--> go to reverse --> long press
select C and change to CH3-->MO0-->RE1-->PV0
enter.
Then go in and set end points.

Sorting out the receiver box this weekend and I get some picture along the way. I know how it works, this thread is useless without pictures"thumbsup"

Re: Opti-Beast Prime
 

Can't wait to see this in person at CRAWLTOBERFEST at Rausch Creek.

Re: Opti-Beast Prime
 

Its close. It won't have all the electronics I planned on in it, but I will use my back up parts to get it up and running.
Fingers crossed.

Oh it talks to you now........

Re: Opti-Beast Prime
 

Energon cubes - Incredible!! An LED hiding under that pallet would give them a nice glow... "thumbsup"

Re: Opti-Beast Prime
 

shh... im not ready to post that picture.

Re: Opti-Beast Prime
 

Optimus Prime has a little something to say about the Opti-beast Prime.

Ok now that's awesome!!! You have taken the build over the top adding Primes voice. This just keeps getting better and better. What's next transformation? Lol.
