I've got this little RC28T and feel like it could be fun around the house. It has one major flaw though. It has no radio. Associated doesn't sell a replacement either. So I'm thinking that it just needs a new chassis loaded up with the smallest electronics that I have.

The missing element is the battery. There's a little 1S lipo in it, but I'm not sure running the Novak Spy on a 1S lipo is a good plan. Would I need a voltage cutoff or just runtime limit myself? Or, should I go with a little 4.8v NiMh battery?

I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner yet, but wanted to get this B3 buggy cleaned up. Yes I know it's missing 1 dog bone. Other than that, it's practically new. My kid would say it's lit and I'm cap. Thanks? 😁

bonus question
4) Any way to keep vanilla white nylon from becoming yellow over time?
Thanks!
I really think the only way is to keep it from UV exposure and air contaminates (smoke/oils ). Then it's just a matter of careful disassembly,...
I bought this awesome-ish frankentruck off of ebay. It was advertised as a Losi GTX, but I think I've determined it's really an RC10T3 with some team / factory parts that has a new chassis and the transmission has been swapped into a mid-motor...

The Frankentruck lost its body to one of the EGTs. But it got an upgrade. The replacement was from a shelfer GT, but didn't quite work with the T3 rear shock tower. After a little trimming and the addition of a pair of carbon fiber RC10B4 hub towers...
After seeing slotcarrod´s thread about his B2 runner I did feel an urge to (try) re-build mine which obviously was a mix between a B2 and a B3.
Have been trying to suck in as much info as possible about the B2 and this is todays stand,...

looks great. I have been doing similar with an old B3, but my route was almost all used parts slowly building a runner for cheap. I close to finishing soon. I heard a few parts for these are available from Thunder Tiger via the Phoenix BX which is a...

This one is a TL-01 I picked up a few years ago, it came with the esc and Futaba radio already and worked well. In an effort to interest my wife in my hobbie (another 1 of...

Ok, so i've finished putting the chassis back together and fitted the new wheels to her :D I still need to fit the new body mount kit and the remaining radio gear :wink: Still progress made :lol:

I see 6633 and 6614 on eBay for $30 shipped ea. :shock: If you want to try and save a few bucks you can try Facebook r/c groups. I agree with the 3/8 x 5/8 outdrive bearing mod. We were doing those in the very early 90's when bearings were roughly...
