It didn't seem like there was a great deal of interest in the kit here for the asking price. It seemed to be pretty run of the mill except for the factory gold truck nose plate.

You could also remove one of the other FETs and use it as a guide to trim the leads on the replacement. Make them a close match and put them back on the board to verify that the tops of the built in heatsinks are even. The trick to soldering is to get the lead and the trace on the PCB ho enough to ...

My first attempt using a knife to shave the pin didn’t work IMG_4272.jpeg I used an Emory board to file down the legs and they fit easily IMG_4273.jpeg Folded over the leads. Did the ground plane pins facing the wrong way. Some of the pins looked as if they would cause trouble, so I trimmed them a b...

Body looks really good all polished up. Nice work ! ...But it isn't a 2048 Camao: https://www.rjspeed.com/bodies/Bolink/BL2048.html https://www.rjspeed.com/images/images/Bodies/BoLink%20Body%20pics/BL2048.JPG Your body is a Firebird/Trans Am.

Sorry if this is elementary stuff you already know. I don't know much about any of this at all. Any help or notes are appreciated. Since the only challenge I have is with the width of the legs as it gets to base I guess I'll try and shave them down with a drywall knife. Speaking of not knowing thin...

So the replacement fets showed up last night. Compared to what I took out they behave quite differently so there is some hope that this can fix the esc. One problem is that the leads on the new fets are the wrong size IMG_4264.jpeg The width increases as it get closer to the body. The original ones ...

Looking at the body I saw a similar paint scheme on a 1/10 bolink prepainted body

Does the body on my car look like the Bolink 2048 '75 camaro?

Did you get an answer to the Futaba G plug configuration question you posed earlier? This is what I believe it is. To be sure, though, just use an ohmmeter on the servo side. I got an adapter that let me plug the older G servos into a modern receiver. The servos both worked, though I am not sure if...

With respect to the hole so close to the edge: in addition to it being unsightly and weak, I have to wonder why it is so close. Is the hole slightly out of place? Or is the hole correctly located on a tab that is too short? Honestly a lot of the original AE engineering could have been better in ter...

It seems that I'm going to need to repave my driveway to drive this car. The ground clearance is minimal with those screws head sticking out of the chassis. I can see why the flat countersunk screws would have been a trick upgrade. It helped me find the high spots on my wood floor by getting hung up...

In the past they have said that it would cause them to push off production of modern parts that are selling and essentially isn't worth their loss of time. It all boils down to sales and if they believe there is a profit. There is a solid belief in their part that vintage parts won’t sell. At this ...

I can't believe that it would have cost RPM so much more do to this on their own. I'd jump at the chance to get made in the USA parts from a company that has been supporting RC since nearly the beginning.

Michaels just went to $470. https://www.michaelsrchobbies.com/asc6007-rc10-classic-40th-anniversary-kit-limited.html It's making me think these really were a limited edition, to 5,000 units. Time will tell. Seeing how they overextended themselves on the previous re-release. It makes sense to make a...
