I think I revived my Futaba PCM 1024 battery

Not completely sure, but after three charge/discharge cycles it was holding strong. Discharged again, now charging the recommended 15 hours. Wonder how my old stick packs will fare....should probably be working on the chassis but have my geek on so playing with batteries now (just replaced my iPod Classic battery while cleaning the PCM)...

Ni-Cads die hard.
I have a bunch of old Sanyo and Panasonic cells and they all holds and takes a charge.
3 secs directly in parallel on ONE of the 12V batteries on my Toyota, brings them back to live.
But mind You, it must be from a TOYOTA

I got this from Jeff Harris earlier this year when he sold off old gear from a hobby store that closed. I used it in my gold metal shelfer build along with the Tekin 411-G2 ESC

Still use mine as my main transmitter.

Hi fellow vintage radio nutters.
I have a 1024 handset which I would like to convert over to 2.4 spread spektrum. I have plenty of Spektrum receivers and wanted to find out if there's a way to use a Spektrum module for this radio?

Last post

Anyone no if this will work with old Futaba 1024?

So its been a long time, as some of you may or may not know its my favorite radio. While cleaning up today, I found an old Spektrum Transmitter and Receiver Module set. So I charged the old radio and receiver packs, popped in the module, put the...

Alright it works, I pieced together an RC10L ss (which some may have noted is in the bay) and it works with no issues. I used a standard Futaba Servo and the Tekin 412p. Car ran no issues, the range was what is to be expected at the track, I did not...

Just had an old futaba pcm radio and reciever given to me. Very trustworthy guy, he told me it was working when he stopped using it a few years back.

On to the present day..... Transmitter powers up, servos glitch once when the reciver is turned on...

Hi All,

I'm looking to start a build of a vintage dirt oval EDM car, and was hoping to find a Futaba Magnum PCM FP-T3PB radio to go with it. Does anyone know of any leads on one that's in good/working condition? I see them pop up on eBay from...

Last post

Thanks all for the information. So is it correct to say that there’s no issues with running 75 MHz, it’s just more prone to conflicts?

There are no issues with it. Anymore, the chance of having someone on the same channel is extremely rare.

Out...

Picked up what looked to be a real nice pcm 1024. Looks to have had little use but I can't get it to power on. There was no battery or battery holder. I've tried a battery holder from my AM FP-T2PD and still won't power up. Noticed that inside the...

Someone sent me a link a while back to a package Spektrum sells that plugs in to the rectangular module on an old Futaba pcm radio where the crystal is housed (and the package included a receiver). It gave you 2.4ghz in the old radio body if you...

I was thinking about doing this mods, but I decided to order a flysky FS-GT3B and maybe a few more receivers later. Plus I think it would have been more expensive to mod all of them. These were top of the line and a must for gas cars especially the...

I have (4) RC's that need new Rx battery packs. Is there a better alternative to this type, these days?

Thanks.

Should've posted this in vintage electronics, instead.

Excellent options, thanks!
