Re: Vanning chain size question

With the kind assistance from a few other member I have been able to figure out the pitch of the chain which is 3/16". Thanks to all that helped me out. Now I can get my vanning project going.

Re: Vanning chain size question

I contacted the guy at landjump and he does not know what the pitch is.

Vanning chain size question

Hi guys, I finally got my hands on a Vanning but it is missing the drive chain. Does anyone know what size it is? I thought it might be a #25 like what is on a pocket bike but it is the wrong pitch.

Re: Bringing a Danny Thompson Nitro Panda back to life.

Well I am glad that you enjoyed my thread and video. I do have a few other cars that I am working on right now. I have already shot video for 2 other cars. The Kyosho Sandmaster and the Kyosho Turbo Raider Pro. I hope to have them together very soon.

Re: Tamiya Hornet 4WD

Thanks for the info. I thought that it looked interesting and a rather challenging conversion if it actually existed.

Tamiya Hornet 4WD

Hello All, I recently came across this video that featured a Tamiya Hornet that had a 4WD conversion kit. From the video it looks like it performed rather well. Does anyone know anything about this conversion kit? Here is the video. [youtube]MhQaZdp-WHQ[/youtube]

Re: Garage sales

Unfortunatly these ebay vintage gold diggers are not limited to garage sales. Here is a response that I got today from a kijiji ad poster: I'll entertain serious offers only. Avantes list on ebay between 400 and 1250 Vanquish is between 700-800 2013 Egress is around 400 at local hobby shop but requi...

Re: Garage sales

I love these guys that think that ebay is the be all and end all of vintage things. I used to buy vintage outboards. I can't tell you how many time people tried to tell me that it is $xyz on ebay and that is all that they are taking. I will tell you for a fact that not only did I get the motors from...

Re: Craiglist rc parts/cars posts, hilarity thread

Here is something that I just saw. It just goes to show that Craigslist / Kijiji hilarity goes north of the boarder also. This is so funny that I have to download some screen capture software to prove that it is true! here is the link: http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-hobbies-crafts-Lipo-batt...

Re: What type of plastic was the Marui Galaxy Chassis?

Thanks for the info guys. Since the chassis is ABS I am going to do a solvent bond. I will most likely use something like tenax 7R or ambroid proweld. Both of them are MEK based as I understand. These are straight up cracks so no filling is required.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread

Really? I would not have guessed that car at all. To be really honest I do not remember any Kyosho body coming pre trimmed in any form. This body has slots and holes already cut from the body. I was guessing one of the marui cars perhaps.
