They were white way earlier than that futaba but I did just pick one up not long ago and it’s a treasured part of my collection. The white didn’t stay white for long, and luckily mine appears untouched (pic is not of mine but same radio) Jeff, it hasn't happened yet but one of these days I'm gonna ...

Your servo has a sticker reading: mfer. In American slang, that can sometimes be an abbreviation for mother-f*cker. So, in an attempt to be funny, I used the slang abbreviation to compliment your car. :oops: And to avoid any further confusion, your car does look beautiful. I really like the look of...

looks great, what 3d printer did you print the arms and bulkhead with? Thanks! They are printed in a 3D Systems Projet 2500 Plus. It is unfortunately not mine, I have access to it via a friends workplace. 8) I decided to make this one into a runner. I got some modern electronics for it, but still u...

Took the custom 1/5 scale out to the local park today to stretch its legs since this is only the 2nd ever run after completion. To say it exceeded my hopes for speed would be an understatement. It's actually kind of scary to see something 50lbs and nearly 3ft long going that fast. It's definitely go...

Thanks for the update on the "pin" durability. I'm very interested to try this out on some of my vintage buggies. Problem is, I'm not sure where to find round X-section trimmer line. Everything I find locally is always some other shape with corners (star, triangle, etc.), to better chop t...

I've been going deep down the rabbit hole of making my own tires. I made a version that uses an insert, then I spent a ton of time figuring out how to cut inserts out from upholstery foam. Unexpectedly it was way harder than casting the tire. But man, these things GRIP! There's a few minor details I...

Sprint chassis?

Sieg SC3 lathe. I still have to clean the packing grease off and check everything, then she's good to go.

OK, I am going to add some of what I know of the Revolution motor range, having looked into them for a while. Back in the day I had a 17triple early yellow label Revolution motor. The early Yokomo-based motors without the gold fins of the later Yokomo models were the normal magnet versions. The chan...

This kind of reminds me of at work when someone hits "reply all" and then everyone "replies all" telling them not to "reply all". It's quite a bit of fun.

Anyhow....

Welcome, aircooled!

This topic reminded me of this Project Farm video:

I don't have an Associated bearing in front of my to measure, but there's this guy from McMaster Carr. Fits 1/8" shaft, 7/16" OD. For future folks the McMaster carr part is identical to the associated part D8CDF602-2266-454F-B54B-1E78CA45401A.jpeg The dirty one is from the kit and the cle...
