SMITHMASTER SCR PRO 12s_1ST

We are Smithmaster Co., Ltd., a company that has developed and is currently exporting the RC car “Smithmaster” to countries such as the United States, Canada, and France. 

Today, we would like to introduce a video review by a YouTuber about SMITHMASTER SCR PRO 12s 

This video focuses on testing the SCR Pro in a 12S configuration, exploring its performance and addressing potential issues during operation. The main theme revolves around troubleshooting and optimizing settings for improved control and performance. Viewers will gain valuable insights into electrical problems, gear adjustments, and evaluations of different motors and configurations, offering helpful tips for anyone engaged in RC hobbies.

SMITHMASTER SCR PRO 12S Introduction

The presenter introduces the SCR Pro equipped with a 12S setup, expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming testing experience. Anticipation about the vehicle’s performance is highlighted, with lighthearted comments contributing to the upbeat atmosphere. The tone remains casual, emphasizing the importance of setting adjustments before starting. Some minor adjustment challenges are mentioned, indicating potential troubleshooting needs.

Troubleshooting Technical Issues with the SCR Pro

The presenter is facing electrical difficulties with the SCR Pro, unable to pinpoint the issue’s source. Preliminary checks on the receiver and radio settings have not revealed any faults, leading to some confusion. Transitioning from an R5 Turbo to the SCR Pro has introduced questions regarding compatibility and potential problems with the speed controller (SC). Concerns about damaged cables require reevaluating connections, especially with a slightly damaged steering servo cable.

Performance Insights and Adjustments of SCR PRO 12S

The presenter operates the Airnake V12 Pro with a Leopard 530 kV motor at about 50-60% power to evaluate performance before making quick adjustments. The first step involves reducing steering sensitivity by lowering the dual rate for smoother handling. Removing the original body cuts 1 kg off the weight, allowing for a smaller 19-tooth pinion, enhancing flat terrain performance. Radio signal issues suspected to be linked to the metal radio box result in intermittent control loss while monitoring motor and battery pack temperatures.

Initial Setup and Adjustments for Performance

The user operates with an Airnake V12 Pro and a Leopard 530 kV motor at roughly 50% to 60% throttle. Plans to reduce the dual rate are aimed at minimizing steering sensitivity for a smoother driving experience. These adjustments intend to foster tighter turns, and initial observations indicate improved performance over prior setups, with notably faster speeds.

Performance Assessments of the SCR PRO

Previous assessments suggested that the original 18-tooth pinion was sufficient. Weight reductions of 1 kg, achieved by removing the original body, might affect future modifications. Testing a 19-tooth pinion reveals a balanced performance on circuits. Current wheels display rigidity with minimal ballooning, offering solid response yet limited flexibility.

Adjustments and Issues in the SCR PRO Setup

A new Obi Wi Max 5 G2 and 650 kV combo was installed in the R5 Turbo, initially noting stiffness in the setup. Adjustments to the startup power settings from 30% to 10%, and then settling at 35%, improved performance. Radio signal loss prompted evaluations of metal radio box interference, despite proper antenna placement. The close proximity of the motor to the ESC has resulted in heat transmission, though lipo temperatures remain acceptable.
