Re: Race Modified; Mardave Meteor Project
Just to update this thread/build (& to add some gratuitous photos) .... Back in January earlier this year I raced my LWB Meteor at the Brett Davis memorial race meeting. Brett Davis was a prominent & popular racer (& vintage R/C fan), but was also well known for being the creator & o...

Re: JRX Pro SE runner build
DerbyDan - I measured the retrofit dogbone pin to pin. Approx. 61.7mm. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/sixdub/Vintage%20RC/20170312_130503_zpscxdi6c0r.jpg Thanks for measuring those for for me - so it would appear that the XX dogbones are the correct/same length - that's good to know since I ...

Re: JRX Pro SE runner build
My next 2wd runner/racer project is also a JRX Pro SE (been saving up parts for a little while), so i'm following this build thread closely..... & taking notes! Your car looks immaculate (like new) - I'm looking forward to hearing how it performs on track! I've run my LRM gearboxed JRX2 with an ...

Re: Brushless motor gearing
I run a 6.5BL motor in my XX - from memory I'm using a 20t pinion on a green (88t) spur & too be honest I could probably go up a pinion tooth or two - on an 8.5 motor I'd be inclined to start on a 22t pinion (or equivalent depending on which spur you have) & go from there :wink: Don't worry ...

Re: JRX-2 cheater + JRX Pro
Derby, are you running the dual ball bearing LRM Differential? I've never had one give up yet? The diff gear that I stripped was one with the centre bearing - the rest of the gearbox was standard LRM (aside from the slipper assembly & top shaft). The gear finally went after a whole year of regu...

Re: JRX-2 cheater + JRX Pro
I hadn't seen that one - cheers. Will have a read. Raced against DerbyDan at the recent Iconic RC Revival - but neither of us were using JRX-2's. Hi Kieth - I thought I recognised your pink & blue paint scheme! Your JRX2 looks great.... I'm sure you'll enjoy running the 5-link car.... I think m...

Re: Cougar MK1 restored for racing!
Thanks Retro! I know Mark well & his Cougar builds are something else - more display pieces rather than something that you'd ever want to run! This Cougar was built to race, as such is a little more rough & ready - I could have gone that next step - like done something fancy with the chassis...

Re: Race Modified; Mardave Meteor Project
Well - sorry guys I forgot this thread even existed.... but since my 'runner/racer' version of the Mardave Meteor is currently entered into this months Car of the month competition I though it best to update the story to where we are now! Up until now this thread seems to have been following the in...

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Hello, can someone tell me what is this body I had with a near new RC10B4 FT ? http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2016/08/04//16080411050817236514411398.jpg http://nsm08.casimages.com/img/2016/08/04//16080411052617236514411399.jpg This appears to be a Schumacher Fireblade EVO bodyshell - I believe Schu...

Re: Cougar MK1 restored for racing!
Nice one Naushad! :D I think you'll enjoy your Cougar... the beauty of them is that they were sold by Schumacher in so many different guises over quite a long period of time - picking up improvements & updates along the way that you can really 'cherry-pick' parts to build a Cougar to your person...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - July 2016 ** - Winner - DerbyDan
Got to say that I'm well chuffed & surprised (especially since the old Mardave Meteor isn't widely known Stateside) My vote was for Lonestar's lovely FRF2 - which a car I very much desire & his is a cracker!!

Re: Losi XXT CR Graphite Plus - Re-Rebuild
Truck is looking great! The white paint job on the body contrasts really well with the pink wheel disks - proof that a little perseverance is often required to be 100% happy with our builds & well worth the effort! 8) Major score on the earlier lightened/machined motor plate ~ they seem almost u...
