I am turning my mf-01x into a porsche 959. i have a masking set that will allow me to use the tamiya ps-4 blue , ps-1 white, ps-5 black AND to do the striping. For the striping would the ps-2 red and ps-52 champagne gold aluminum be the correct colors? Also, what would be the best order of painting....

Are there any new re-releases that caught anyone's eye? I'm still of the mindset that Kyosho's optima mid re-release is the most intriguing!

I have a trf102 and enjoy it. Was thinking about getting an older Collectable f1 car. Any thoughts on f201 vs. road wizard other than the 2wd vs 4wd difference? Or is there another f1 to considered. Might use it for light use but mostly a shelf queen

As for the esc, I try to keep the hornet with vintage electronics, so a novak t-4 , novak 410 or tekin 310.
As for the brushed motor, thanks for the recommendation for the number of turns. Which pinion gear would you go to with that?
And thanks TokyoProf and juicedcoupe for replying back

thanks so much for the thougts, especially thankful for that timeline from MarkyDents

besides the sport tuned motor, does anyone have an upgraded motor recommendation? just looking to do some backyard usage with the hornet but want some more speed.

was looking to get a "vintage" esc for some of my losi cars (jrxt, jrx2, xx4). I have the "brutus", "killer" and "mtm" motors. do you go T-4 or 410?

was looking for opinions on a steering servo for the blackfoot? any recommendation for how fast or how much torque the servo should have?

does anyone else have thoughts on whether a high speed or high torque maximizes what the jrxt can do

I was just planning for some basic use in the backyard or on flat dirt surface with little to no jumping. Just didn't know if there is a recommended speed of the servo and/or minimum torque that the servo should have to really make the most out of the JRXT. Thanks for the recommendation as it provid...

Was wondering if anyone had a steering servo recommendation? I was thinking either a savox 1256 or 1258. Or is there another one to consider?

OK, great. If that is what is supposed to happen then I am fine with it. I just thought something must be wrong. Thank you so much

xx4 question.png I have tried tightening and loosening the nuts that the yellow and blue arrow are pointing towards. Sometimes I just tighten or loosen the yellow arrow nut and sometimes I did the blue arrow nut. No matter what combination I do, these is "spinning" at the mesh point for p...

Finally replaced the belts on the XX-4 that I just got. But when XX-4 is stopping, a noise from the front of the car sounds like a "zip tie being pulled" just before the front wheels stop. The front wheels always stop after the rear wheels. I don't believe that this can possibly be right. ...

Im not looking to do serious racing. I was thinking of some type of losi revolution like a “Brutus” or “insane” type motor. I didn’t know which revolution motor was best for 4wd back in the day
