My 1986 Kyosho Rocky.

Totally torn down and cleaned/restored.
New body, paint and decals.

V12 "I know I had old RC10 and Losi axles which would do the job. But seems they have gone." If you had the older style RC10 maybe RPM hinge pins might work for you. 2.28" OA according to RPM. I think the newer style RC10s had approximately 2.1" hinge pins rpm hinge.JPG Chuck

Looks perfect

BBQ pork butt sandwiches with chow and swiss on a toasted hoagie.

Dry rubbed and on the grill for an hour.
Slow cooked in chicken stock with onions, carrots and celery. Defatted and pulled.

Before reading the build thread for RC10resto's Edinger I hadn't ever seen it.
After reading the thread I was hooked.
A really nice example of an early RC10, that is what it's all about.
Congrats Brian!
Love the car.

Thanks again! Interesting... The white signal wire is connected to the #5 on the IC. But only by soldering across 2 separate copper pads. This is shown in your pic inside the red oval that I drew. closeup.2.jpg Pic taken showing no connection between white wire output signal from receiver to #5 inpu...

Thanks so much Frankentruck!!!!

Can you see the open hole that is near the #5 leg of the IC? Or is there some thing else there.
It is blocked by the blue "lollypop" looking blue capacitor.
and if you can a pic of the other side of the board

Thanks again so much!

I have found some interesting quirks with this ESC. If anyone has a Novak NESC1 or NESC1x and can take a picture, it might solve my problem. After replacing the IC there was no difference :( However I did find the pinouts on the IC The #5 pin apparently shows the input. This should be from the recei...

Would there ever be a reason to use ribs in the rear?

Too funny

sorry if offensive

I took a couple more pics. One of the IC and a better pic of the board without the IC installed. With the IC removed the and the voltage regulator moved up the second pic also shows 3 small transistors marked 2785. One faces the forward and the two on the left face the larger FETs. According to what...

Thanks Frankentruck This is the 2nd receiver the Novak1 has been on and I tried it in the servo slot as well. Both of those receivers work with other ESCs but not the Novak1. So I just ohmed out the 3 wires from the ESC to the receiver plug and they all check OK. I had replaced the 3 wire harness fr...

That is a good thought Juicedcoupe. I just tried to see if there were any glitches to be found. I could only read the 100k on the right (speed end point) pot. It seems fine even in the circuit. Can't read left neutral pot, but it does vary when turning the pot. Both pots do feel surprisingly smooth ...

I tried to cover all my bases first but could have easily overlooked some thing.
So, like usual, I dove in head first.
I am definitely not an EE.

Thanks though.
