I believe it is too short. Two options I can think of from there: 1. I would consider cutting it, work out a D-cut at each end, and create a sleeve which would allow to lock the shaft end at the right length with some set screws.. 2. use a 2mm wire and bend it to the right dimensions... Thanks for ...

Just a quick precision, the propeller shaft characteristics are the following : - wire 2mm based - length 177mm - ends are 8mm wide At the end, the Tamiya TA01/DF01 seems to be very close from this (about 175-176mm). I've ordered one, we'll see once it arrives. Following. Thanks for sharing this in...

I had a visit to Mr. Cho's Pargu factory in Kimpo South Korea yesterday! With his permission, I am posting some photos from my visit and personal tour of his shop! Some of you have purchased from his store on Ebay where he sells hard-to-find vintage RC parts. He sells items that improve current vin...

My first memory of Masami was at one of our club races hearing one of the guys talk about this Japanese kid who just won the Worlds. He couldn't recall his name but he spoke about how the kid races using a stick radio and is so talented he can drive around the track in reverse and even drive with h...

Check out Maasaki’s (Masami’s Father) YouTube channel on his replica CAT build.First episode is the story of the buggy and among other things Talks about how KO quickly manufactured a servo for the 87 Worlds. Very interesting https://youtu.be/fIJdvk1wJ1M I agree completely! I've just finished watch...

Thanks. I was thinking about that too—I think it was the same servo on his Yokomo 870c? Trying to figure out what would be today's Ko Propo equivalent.

I was trying to look up what servo was used on Masami’s original winning CAT XL but can’t seem to find any info. I‘m assuming it was a KO Propo. I know what he used for the other electronics, but not the servo. Would anyone happen to know what model it was? Thanks!

Thanks! Really appreciate it. I'm going to try the Tekin one.

If you just want a basic serrated brush, check Tekin. They have brush and spring kits for standup and laydown. If I didn't already have a stockpile of brushes, springs, and the tools to modify them, they would be my most likely choice. Reedy, Team Brood, Jconcepts, and others still offer new brushe...

juicedcoupe and matt1ptkn, thank you for responding—this is very helpful and I really appreciate it! Just ordered some medium tension Trinity springs and will look into brushes. juicedcoupe, thank you for posting that reference from Trinity! Looks like the standard and slotted copper brushes will wo...

I have some older brushed motors that I purchased used. On some of these motors, I can tell the spring isn't original and the brushes need to be replaced. The problem is there's no instructions or documentation and it's challenging to find old information online. The only thing I can tell is they us...

Thanks guys! Sorry for the late response. a01butal sent JPEGs of the manual (thanks!). I think it was only missing the shock/damper assembly part—a01butal noted that there are 870c/AE shocks differences (YZ10 uses RC10 dampers/shocks, etc.) and I’m just about to gather/research that part. I do have ...

a01butal, thanks! That's so cool of you. I just sent you a PM with my email.

I have a YZ10/project and unfortunately I don't have a manual for it. This is the U.S. release version of the YZ870C. I was able to get an 870C manual online but I was surprised that there seems to be no online/PDF manual for the YZ10. Every place points me to the Works '91. I know the 870c is almos...

Alex B, thanks for looking at it and responding!
