Scania CS20

Posted on December 14, 2020March 2, 2022
  • receiver Rx43d-1
  • geared motor G324M660P (kkpmo)
  • miro servo S18JST
  • lipo 1s 180mAh
  • micro SMD switch
  • micro socket for charging and for trailer connection
  • 32 LEDs 0603

This model was fun to build although the lights were a bit of a pain due to the lack of space here and there and the fight against light bleeding. The model has quite enough space in the cabin at the top to fit there the Lipo and receiver. There was a problem with the PCB, it was a little problematic to find a place for the PCB with resistors, but this model has a little more space behind the grill so eventually the PCB got fixed there. When the model was finished, it turned out, in line with my concerns, that the front end is too heavy in relation to the rear and it doesn’t want to accelerate on slippery surfaces. The problem was solved by the load of the rear with lead castings that matched the empty spaces on the back of the model. The lead was then painted to minimize skin contact. The model still doesn’t drive perfectly on slippery surfaces, but when it is a bit rough, it performs well.
