WLToys 12427. Anyone else use/have one?

    The protector looks pretty sick. Looks like the big thing was going from live axle to independent suspension all around, so no driveshaft being thrown in weird orientations and breaking things.

    On my way down the rabbit hole, I saw the spectre, which looked like the 12427 with upgraded parts, and the rear driveshaft looked put together better than the one on the wltoys truck, very similar to the Traxxas axles. But that truck really isn't available and spare parts are hell to find for these things apparently.

    Part of me still wants to find an rc buggy with a solid rear tho. It did real nice at the dog park with the uneven surfaces and whatnot.

    I'm using ZoneMinder on my end with more rudimentary motion detection, hence CPU detection. (My current hardware is pre-IOMMU on the mobo, so no pci passthrough for me...)

    That said, if you have hardware that can handle X (via CPU, GPU, TPU, etc), then you gotta decide how you want to spend that. Whether resources are spent more in analysis fps or evaluating higher detail frames is up to what you need.

    Would you say that 15FPS is a good framerate for surveilance? Or could one get away with even less to lessen the resource requirements?

    If doing CPU-based motion analysis, you could use a lower quality stream (if available from the cameras to avoid transcoding load) for motion detection, then use that to trigger recording on a higher quality stream.

    Lost? I dunno, but they definitely didn't win, neither did Sony. That title goes to AMD, since they're making money, no matter who "wins".

  • Not the catchiest of names for an RC car, but not terrible considering it's price. Good enough for a dog chase vehicle. Combo (I think) ESC/receiver seems to overheat pretty quickly and the rear driveshaft no longer sent power to the axle (ball joint mounting failure). Aftermarket (aluminum?) replacement driveshafts were actually worse as they fell apart under load. Had to replace the roll pin with a steel nail and use heat shrink tubing to get everything to stay together. Anyone else have experience with this car/buggy/thing?

    That's fair. I guess it depends on how far you want to go with a sawzall. What I had in mind with my other comment was this guy's van, which apparently had a 1JZ shoved into it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odwakzXeECQ&ab_channel=PacoIbarra%2FTofuDriftVan
