Re: optima mid servo saver

The blue version is a rigid crank with no saver function and is kyosho generic, but tends to be found more on gas cars like the GP10, Super 10 and Pure 10.

I almost bought one on the spot but the box is absolutely enormous for a 1/10th. It's a re-release but this has to be the best value ca...

Ayk Pro Radiant

I thought I would explain my Mike Dunn question here rather than hijack the Dunn QA thread. There are a huge number of Boost shelled Pro Radiants on the internet, even stickered with Pro Radiant decals. InetRC suggests that the Boost shell was standard on the Pro: http://www.inetrc.com/AYK/Details/A...

Re: If you could ask Race Prep's Mike Dunn......

It's wrong to dilute this thread with thanks but even more wrong not to thank you and Mike for your time and effort. Thanks indeed!

Reedy had a motor line called Krypton so it may have been an ad for them.

Only half match I could find is this:
