Trying to learn to pack lighter, but running full vintage gear that's kinda fragile, seems more is better, just in case.

Mmmm......Carbon fiber...yes please!

I have discharge resistors, Dean's Black Box, and all that jive. Anymore, I just use the discharge function in my Hitec charger. I put off buying a modern charger for years. That thing is worth every penny. I totally get that, I actually bought a modern charger a few weeks back (200neo or geo?), it...

.....and if you don't feel like dealing with the light bulb stringers.....10W 30ohm resistors do the trick. 20250218_122323.jpg 20250218_141337.jpg .....the last two packs ran just this past Sunday, on discharge.....beer for reference, when the resistor temperature gets as cool as the can, they're ...

For those interested, I thought I'd drop this in here...a little history of the Composite Craft Predator Lynx car....winner of the very first 1/10th scale U.S. On-Road Championship back in 1987 and then again in 1988 at the ROAR U.S On-Road Nats.....Bob "Bullit" Light (RIP) driving both ti...

All issues are downloadable PDFs with highlightable text so you can copy, paste, control/f, etc. THANK YOU!...

Another run video from my second vintage meet-up this year....this track was MUCH smaller than the last track. The previous run videos were from a 1/8th on-road track in Montlucon, France.....fairly wide open, but if you ran off the track, you were in the grass. This time was in Belley, France....a ...

Track time! The NIB with it's slightly older brother

Found another chance to run outdoor, on-road asphalt (can-am) at another great vintage meet-up/weekend....much tighter course, was designed for 12thscale. Took a while to get used to the track and find the right setup....but in the end the old Predator Lynx hooked up pretty good. I'll post a run vid...

Just my .02...but closed end Du-Bro links always seemed/seem right.

Well...I might have done something.
