Re: best body for composite craft/rpm worlds buggy?

No that chassis sits naked currently. I will eventually get an Andy pro arrow I think for it.

Re: What is the rarest R/C part you have

I certainly remember that project. It was fun if not stressful putting those rare wheelsn under the knife. Glad they worked out . Yeah I guess rare and valuable are kind of different. You can argue any of the parts I make are rare, because I make things in low qty. But probably not very valuable. Th...

Re: "Just Released MIP 4 x 400 4WD Kit" REvitalizing a long term WIP

It appears that your esc is plugged into the bat port. It should be in ch2. But the photo is fuzzy and it might be just fine. There may also be something wrong with any of the three pieces

Re: Bucky II - Garden Tractor Class Puller Build

Good, glad that helped. Anti-sieze is always a great idea with stainless steel, regardless of the other material.

Re: Bucky II - Garden Tractor Class Puller Build

Don't stress over that. You won't see any significant galvanic corrosion unless you are soaking it in saltwater. Just build it man.

Re: Piece by Piece or Parts lot

I scour the net for a particular part if I need it and also look at badly worded listings and generic things and have purchased a lot of items for just one particular thing. It seems to work out well in the long run, but you do get some stinkers from time to time.

Re: Graphite RC10 with fuzzy dice

You would think. But I'm being really nitpicking for a particular reason and those have 13 coils, the image of the spring from amain has only 11. I've been trying to figure out a black spring with 13 coils for a replica. They may well be right and the image is wrong, but trying to clarify.

Re: Repairing Novak 4 esc _ what tools and what parts?

Mouser digikey arrow Newark and many others. If you know who makes the part, such as Fairchild or ti or whoever you can often order direct.

Re: Repairing Novak 4 esc _ what tools and what parts?

this iron is pretty cool, it's got a 'turbo' button for getting through tough solder areas, like heavy ground planes. funny that iron you listed has all of these specs but not the wattage. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hakko-20-Watt-to-130-Watt-Presto-Soldering-Iron-Pen-Type-980-V12-P/204215963 your l...

Re: Repairing Novak 4 esc _ what tools and what parts?

generally yes, you can update the whole bank of FET's with appropriate replacements and it will work fine. However this is a little bit of a tricky job due to how compact the circuitry is and how well you can solder. So you definitely want to be careful and use your iron efficiently. First and forem...
