I have thought about finding a broken radioshack car, gutting it and fitting it with hobby grade electronics. Problem there is you still have toy grade suspension, steering, gearbox, well, everything really. I have always been a big fan of hard plastic bodies on cars. I did crawling for about 10 ye...

My old rustler diff has been pretty solid. But definitely like the new diff on the end. If I ever attempt a rustler build, Id give the new diff a try.

Thats pretty cool. I honsetly miss nimh batteries sometimes. No worrying about puffing or explosions. I wouldn't mind if they came back. I hope eventually they discover a new battery technology that has the run time and out put of lipo, but without the dangers and easier to handle when charging/tran...

Do they make one for 5th scales?

I prefer the look of brushed motors and the graphics on the cans. I still have a few kicking around. I just wish it was possible to make brushed motors that performed and lasted as long as brushless motors. Well maybe its possible, but how much would it cost?

The other more concerning thing is when my wife looks up something on her phone and it then pops up on my phone :shock: :shock: That's an old trick I use - when I want something, I search for it on my wife's phone - then all her ads are driven toward my search...Skynet is getting smarter...

We don't mind. No one will complain here. Share more. I still want to make it to Zmax in Charlotte. Never been to a 4 lane drag race before.

Directions? May take me a bit...

I second that. Right behind you.

Funny how the USPS works. Your stuff would have been late otherwise. Good find on the bike. Any plans to paint it or display it as is?

Dude that thing is like a time capsule. Glad you found it after nearly 30 years. Id say run it, but with mjdern electronics. Just for the ease of use and longer run times.

Nice!

ETA: Im jealous of some of you guys set up.

The purple and pink definitely gives it that 80s/90s look and feel when neon/fluorescent colors were popular.

Wow, that bike looks pretty impressive for '79 tech. Good find.

Sweet! I didnt know people cared about the radioshack/walmart stuff. I thought everyone only cared about the hobby grade stuff. I have thought about finding a broken radioshack car, gutting it and fitting it with hobby grade electronics. Hahaha
