Finally replaced my T3PB PCM and completed my set
Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2024 6:21 pm
Always regretted selling my old FP-T3PB, Finally managed to grab an absolute mint condition one in Japan.
And a matching FP-R113P receiver.
The FM FP-T2PDF i discovered last year in the box, transmitter only, and the original FP-T2PD was mine from new, i ran it in my Optima mid custo mspecial from Snelson O'Conner cars in Manurewa.
as you can tell from its battle scars, also the wrist strap was in poor condition and I'm looking for a replacement.
The 3PB was quite a rare beast in New Zealand back in those days, pretty much had to go to large regional or nationals to see any.
They were so expensive, most of us were running Acoms techniplus or Megatech FP-T2BK's.
The FM and PCM are 40Mhz which was quite rare here as well, 27, and 29 were most common as 75Mhz was for aircraft.
Still keeping an eye out for the previous generation magnum senior FP-3PG as well, they do pop up occasionally, There was a supplier here clearing loads of them cheap back in the day (Bill Leckie RC Cars) so may still be the odd one sitting in someone's shed to recondition. (PM me if you can help)
