Re: Amusing Engrish typos on Asian R/C parts
I had to read this thread in short sections because I've been laughing so hard I cant focus on reading. This is legitimately hysterical. Found this one a while back: Yeah, that one is logical though, as the commonly used word for "transformation" in Asia is the Japanese word "henkei&...

Re: Tamiya chassis confusion
To expand on @ GoMachV's pretty thorough details, including what @ Frankentruck has mentioned.... mind you, this is all off the top of my head. Basic 4WD touring chassis list and history : TA Series touring cars: Original onroad / light rally 4WD chassis, began with shaft, but then updated to belt ...

For the braces for the suspension arms, Pargu makes them in alloy.

Re: Things that irritate you
The flip side is bad street design, as earlier mentioned, poor or lack signage of which side route you need, etc. Poorly marked streets, either the signs are in the wrong spot or buried in shrubbery. Where I live, they've taken to "street beautification" which is traffic department talk f...

Re: All the Lazers
My big concern at the moment is I replaced the belts with new Tough Racing belts, but ended up with a front belt that's as loose as the one I replaced. Both the eBay ZX-R (pictured behind it) and the Facebook Lazer are pretty taut. This is my first time messing with a Lazer, so I'm not familiar wit...

Re: Parts for a vintage Kyosho
Hello Stuart Just saw this so kinda late but... You might try http://www.kyosho.com/jpn/support/instructionmanual/pureten_fazer/pdf/31396_FAZER_McLaren_F1_GTR_m.pdf Not sure of exact model, but maybe a start. Chuck If it doesn't look like this one, it likely is the 1990s model. I think the manual s...

Re: Things that irritate you
There used to be a time where you could judge a book by it's cover, Mercedes drivers, BMW drivers, women, old folks, whatever. In today's world, all that is out the window. The only ones you can kinda shoehorn into a stereotype is a Prius driver, and by extension, most electric vehicle drivers. Wha...

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
The plug looks like 1980s Robbe/Futaba. IIRC, Robbe (like other European manufacturers) often renamed imported products sold under their own name. Yeah, it's a Futaba G-Plug, and likely from before 1985, but I don't think it's a rebranded Futaba servo. The case doesn't match any of their old servos...

Re: Things that irritate you
Honestly… These days with society and everything else going on there isn’t much that doesn’t irritate me. I understand the guy in Falling Down more and more every day. I took two (well three...but the third isn't relevant to this thread) lessons away from the Covid-lockdown period: - I can be much ...

Re: Hybrid buggy build
I'm not sure the high-torque servo saver + S3003 servo is a good idea...that may lead to stripped servo gears (which are all plastic on the S3003) because the servo saver spring is too strong for a standard servo like the S3003.

Re: Composite Craft Predator Lynx re-build
The top of that chassis looks more worn than the bottom
And that front wheel mounting method Can't imagine that those wheels turned very smoothly and true.
Anyway, I'll be following this.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
#3 and #4: I'm tempted to say "very early 1980s or late 1970s Tamiya F1 or F2 car", but don't pin me on that.
