Cool, did you spot anything obvious when you had it apart that might point to why it doesn't work?

Little update....

These are for two different cars obviously, this one and my rory cull replica. Both require a futaba s131sh servo. I had quite a hard time finding them. Well awhile back, sofaking offered to pull a brand new one from one of his shelfers for the lett replica (pictured right). Then justinspeed had one in the runner he just built, and I asked him if he'd be willing to trade that servo for another one. He said he had plenty of servos laying around, so he pulled it and sent it me.

Thanks again guys. :)

Got the battery assembled. Also cracked the esc back open to install the correct on/off switch and got it mounted in the car.

Looks great!

ok, i got the electronics all buttoned up. other than changing a couple screws when i get aluminum replacements, swap the zip tie on the esc from yellow to blue (at the receiver), and clean up a used gear cover until a new one comes along, the chassis is done. now i can get to work on the body and sourcing the rest of the decals.

this page from a booklet i saw on ebay a few year back was the inspiration for the build.

That looks fantastic Jason, I think the only thing it needs are some higher resolution photos! :P

Gotta be cool for someone like him to be asked to sign an RC car. Ya know, it's not like he was a famous baseball player, and is only known within a small group of RC people. I know it'd be cool for me if someone remembered something I did in the 80's and wanted my autograph.

Also, love that he used the Airtronics XL-2P, that was the radio I was running at the time, and still have two of them.
