Thanks, @Coelacanth . Do the speed controllers you're referring to incorporate variable gearing? I think the only way you can reduce torque (without also reducing speed) is by changing the gearing. Let me know! The punch setting on the speed control is more of a soft start so if you nail the thrott...

The other option is to fit a modern brushless motor and speed controller , they run much cooler and typically with modern Lipo batteries you can drive them for over 30 min but you have to remember to be kind the the old school transmition as well , modern brushless motors can be astonishingly power...

Very cool , I haven't thought about Barbapapa or Barbamama in decades

I have a question regarding replacing NiCad battery packs with NiMH on my 80s-vintage Kyosho Rocky. I assume the speed controller and motor were spec'd at the time to be able to dissipate the heat over the runtime of a NiCad battery pack. Since it appears that modern day NiMH can offer runtimes at ...

I've looked at these when they come up and had much the same response as you , curious , too rare for an organ donor for a Coyote , very fragile looking .
It's kind of got Mcferson strut suspension all round without shocks , odd choice .

Today I was mostly 3d printing polycarbonate Meteor gears .

Three years + and still running ,my longest thread , must be longer than winning an argument with my wife
While I'm here what are people's impressions on Fan RC replica RC10 Gold shocks ?

I guess it really depends on how much load you put them under , if you use a 10.5 brush less motor on lipo batteries then no they won't last long but if your running a 21t brushed motor on 7.2 NiMH then you'll get a reasonable life out of them . I have some Yokomo 834b gears printed by Shapeways in ...

Wich ones new the X1C ?

I think I'm more impressed with the painting of the drivers head ! as an old mechanic my hands shake like mad from a life of using air tools , trying to do detailed tiny painting is ... well I have a daughter who's very good at it now and I'm forever 3d printing stuff for her so she does the tiny bi...

As you may have seen I've now got a Mardave Meteor so as well as getting the old girl a new pair of sneakers and a new hat I've also started CAD modelling and printing bits , mostly just the gearbox and some gears , I was not initially going to do the gears as Mardave still stock two of the three ge...

If you make it perfect it wont be a Hornet anymore

Handsome lad ! Double prick eared means a very full on dog ! Best of luck and patience with leaving him alone , I'm sure you know what your doing but going out for just a few min at a time and slowly stretching it , often while there's food down is the way to go . Our previous household monster, Lo...

Well, it's been a few months since our precious Louie left us, so time for a new four-legged bundle of bark. This is Rudy , a 2 1/2 year old Kelpie. 20240316_165039.jpg We adopted him from a home where he was pretty much locked outside all day, and locked in the laundry all night, with NOTHING in b...
