My Radio Shack collection is pretty deep. It all started with the Golden Arrow in the pic. I traded some questionable stuff :roll: when I was 12yo . It now has modern electronics and a few parts from a Traxxas Cat. So far I have 4 of them. Then there are the Camaros, have one new in the box, several...

There was nothing there when I got it. I do need something for protection.

I value the opinions of you guys on this site. ill display the Diamond and Green Machine and not thrash them, they made it this far or maybe horse trade for some 1/10 pan car parts with someone who collects old motors. Going to order a Protekrc battery, that is exactly what I need for my older models.

Good to know on the motors. I have another Green Machine 2 motor i can use for parts as well as its pretty worn. going to look for my bumpers tonight, I think one is an RPM.

Going to order two quick run 1060's one for the T2 and one for the pan car and put the Novak esc into a shelf queen. Do I need a mount for a bumper or can I use the four screws under the front suspension? I have a couple of bumper options in one of my boxes of parts. As far as batteries I thought I ...

Could also be the radio CH2 neutral trim setting needing some adjustment.

Thank you for that. I will look into the settings this evening.

I have a few different bumpers I could try, great idea.

Just did a 7 minute run and this thing is fun to drive. One thing I noticed is when I let off the throttle it coasts for a second then applies the brakes enough to make it spin out. The motor and esc were hot to the touch, could this be why? is there an adjustment to the esc i can make?

Thanks for the info guys! I think I'll run it on Nimh for now. I have a lot of 3600mah and under batteries I run in some of my vintage models. Perhaps in the future ill go lipo and brushless, good to know it will handle it. I have a Talon that was given to me by another friend( I have great friends)...

I didn't think of rehydrating. I did that on my pan car and its been great.

I have the battery strap its just not in the picture. Was thinking of running as is. can the transmission handle 2s lipo? Brushless? If not I'd run it on Nimh and keep it brushed and possibly replace the esc with something more modern.

A coworker knowing I'm into rc gave me this T2. The receiver connected to my transmitter and it runs well. Can anyone give me some insight to this model such as is it stock, worked over? I know the motor is not stock and he gave me a Green Machine 2 and a Diamond 12 turn double 19.5 awg motor. What ...

Did that several times and no luck. Took them to the wire wheel on the bench grinder and they go in smoothly now. Whatever coating that was on them was locking them up.

Got the Kimbrough gears installed today. The pinion is lighter id say by a couple of grams, cant find my scale so I cant verify that but it is lighter than the pinion that was on there. Im going to need the motor spacer as the pinion needs to be more inline with the spur and is all the way down on t...

It goes around the base of the pinion. The gears should be here tomorrow and I can weigh the pinion and see.
