Yes, pretty cool kit. I still trying to get use to driving it. I tend to forget which way does what.

On your Tx, did you remember to reverse the steering servo channel? With traditional front steering, left is left, and right is right. But, with rear steering, left is right so that it turns left, and right is left so that it turns right.

I did reverse it and I found it didn't completely solve my problem. I have the steering and throttle on the right stick. Up and down and Tilt on the left stick. Then, if you happen to have a Tamiya Rig with the MFU Sound kit, you have to remember all those stick moves. I think more seat time will solve it.

Lesu details are incredible.
Always a top shelf build!

Do you have a build thread?

I wish I could remember what YouTube channel, but someone did a multi-episode build of a Lesu forklift. Not my thing...but, the actual buildin of it looked cool.

I have some video when I first got it together. I didn't do a build thread. I should of thinking about all the stuff/questions I tracked down. The RC Sparks video was super helpful. Especially programing the remote. I made another version to the pallet and added side loading openings. I print these upside down and now noticed the right corner is lifting just a tad on the print bed.

Finally talked myself into ordering my 1st printer. Bought a Creality3D Upgraded Ender-3 V2. Hope to be making parts soon. I've welded stuff up for years but this will be a new venture for me.

I just bought a Ender 3 v2 too. You'll like it. My bed wouldn't stay level so I upgraded bed springs.


I use Prusa Slicer and the Ender 3 profile that comes with it.



The directions leave a little to be desired as far as assembly goes. I'd suggest watching a YT video. This one is for the Ender 3 but still pertains to the v2 https://youtu.be/dQ0q9zLygTY

Found this cool IBC container on Thingiverse. Took about 20hrs to print. The cage had so much support, I found going slow was the best way to remove it all cleanly. Fits the forklift perfect. My son liked it so much he wanted a 2nd one with a red tank. Gonna need a killer Pallet rack soon.
