Gah, my eyes!

I think Kyosho makes neon pink tiewraps. You better use those.

It wasn't aimed at you, but rather at a certain other poster who ragequit at a certain point and replaced all of the text in their posts with a single dot, rendering certain threads in the Kyosho section (and probably also the Tamiya section) unreadable. ...I think I need this smiley for you: :D and...

The more I look at this, the more I think I maybe should just get a new comparable 2.4 GHz stick radio instead (probably Futaba) and keep this one for any 40 MHz FM receivers I come across...

In the late 2000s I bought a Hitec Eclipse Pro Car 3-channel programmable FM transmitter to run all of my faster RC cars (well, the ones that actually saw a track... :lol: ). Now I would like to convert it to 2.4 GHz by swapping the module. Looking at the options for modules, it seems that certain m...

One curiosity: the uprights are fixed on the upright axle by a setting screw. (one note : I don't put grease on parts that are exposed to dirt as it tend to capture the dirt, so no grease here (if needed I'll spray some PTFE dry lube on the axle). Put a tiny bit of blue locktite on the settings scr...

Tamiya (TBG): 16-1/16” x 6-9/16” x 4-5/16” I'm comparing this to the Prerunner (TA02 version) in my Tamiya catalogue, and the dimensions are off - the TBG version is smaller than what is listed in the catalogue (and I'm pretty sure the catalogue is correct). So it looks like TBG accidentally shrunk...

Let me guess...you cannot use a hard final gear for the vintage Optima on the re-re, right?

That’s why I asked.

People have been banned before for trying to avoid the Buy/Sell/Trade regulations on here...

I still have the radio somewhere. I didn't have a charger with mine. Just took AAs. You may be able to use a universal one. They have different size inserts and they are based on voltage I think. I bought one for an old electronic dart board with no cord and it works well. Something like this. May ...

AFAIK, the problem with the Pureten Alpha cars (and many other of Kyosho's cheap offerings) is that parts often look like they might be compatible, but often are not because the size and shape of parts differs just a little bit (but still significantly so) from the more competition-oriented Pureten ...

I grew up with Airtronics stick radios, then to pistol Magnum sports and jr.s....Jr's being oh so classic....but my all time favorite vintage transmitter is the Airtronics M8, partially because Thumbs got one for Xmas one yr (probably 96'ish) when I had fallen out of rc and he was still in it hard-...

• xx for the year of release with 59 corresponding to 1984

According to this:

that is correct, for Showa 59 (Japanese year numbering according to emperor rule).

Thanks. The latest controversy that led to the stewards taking a ridiculous amount of time to penalize some drivers was actually the reason I though I'd do something F-1 related not related to the current season :lol: So, after getting some new superglue I fixed up the carbon axle, flipped it 180 de...

Then I installed ball bearings in the ball diff and reassembled it: IMG_2410.jpg IMG_2411.jpg When mounting it to the car I discovered the aforementioned problem with adjusting it, so I've temporarily removed it (and the whole rear axle assembly) again. I then attached the top deck: IMG_2412.jpg The...
