Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?

Well, It would seem that Eaustace (MIP) was not kidding me when he said he was pushing them (The Asso US) guys to re-re the RC10 a couple of years ago. I was talking with him about the possible re-re of an MIP conversion kit (the thread is on here somewhere), and he mentioned that he was pushing the...

Re: Best (ie cheapest place) to buy a Sand Scorcher ?

+1 for STELLA Models - they provide tremendous service and are extremely helpful.

If I am looking at getting a Tamiya - its the first place I look.

Re: "Hong Kong style" on-road buggies

Looks like the PB Mini Mustang 2 speed to me.

We tried them on just about everything - before they were banned!!

They would have been great on road - however 2 speeds in off road electric are pretty hard to drive - as you have no brakes...

Re: Kyosho Mooneyes Street Van......

Here are a few ideas...instead of box-arting it, leave a small shape of Lexan unpainted to look like one of those groovy boogie-van rear side "mood windows", like a teardrop or porthole-shaped window, and get a buddy to airbrush a little mural on the sides & back. I suggest something ...

Re: Mugen bulldog assembly help

Hi mate, Usually in a 4wd - depending on the motor, 1 to 2 feet is enough slip - probably a bit to much. Again it depends on the motor. If you are using the standard 540 motor (silver can), then a brief " squawk" sound from the transmission slipping is enough. This is how I set up my Bulld...
