I've been playing Contra for hours now.

the first thing that poped into my head was;
up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,b,a,b,a,select,start
great, now i have to run over to my dad's and dig out mine so i can play with the kids.

you could tennis court paint. lowes sells it i think they call it "skid not". i was told this is what is used alot in the uk when they run on converted wharehouse floors. i found it on schumacher's uk forum when Birdsboro was looking for new paint but it was really expensive.

oh and the body is not bolink it's a mrp oswego supermodified

That body would be a nightmare to paint, but very cool in style!

i have one of those bodies,i havent attempted to paint it. i dont know if i ever will but is it one of the coolest oval bodies i ever seen.

i found these if they help. http://www.alldatasheet.com/view.jsp?Searchword=P60N03 the one on the bottom of the list is surfacemount but the rest appear to be standard TO-220 case.they should work but if you could find the original data sheet you could match up the characteristics better. i would us...

sorry i dont have any pics, or any handy to snap pics of. i would have to tear down a already built tranny since they are all currently in a transmission in my oval rides but next time i rebuild one i will have to take pics. as for mass production i no longer have access to a lathe like i use to. so...

the outdrives i had did not have a raised lip. they were completly flat accross the surface of the diff ring. i just machined down the the outer diameter and then the inner lip the ring fits on. while i was at it a also machined a D notch so i could run tc3 notched diff rings. they fit and work grea...

i have machined down aluminum b3 outdrives to fit in a 2.25 for oval of course.

Also for the temp sensor, do you really just tape it to the motor? use a wire tie. i usually run a modified venom temprature monitor on my brushed motors. they are normally for gas motors and have the thermocouple in a loop that is designed to loop around the head and slide in between the cooling f...

i always liked this style, a friend of mine has one. the best of both worlds and super quiet.

i used an old glass pyrex pot a few times no staining just rinsed out.

would it work better if you switched the nose tubes around from left to right? thet way the notch would be on the inside of the chassis then you could eliminate the nut. or would the braces still be too far apart?

Technics was actually Panasonic's high end audio line. same as Dewalt is Black & Deckers high end line. i work in a panasonic factory authorized service center and worked on lots of audio units. it was a damn shame when we threw out most of our paper service manuals a few years ago. but since mo...

i have an old pioneer sx-???? model that somebody gave me, im not sure of the model its at my dads house. it's one of the 70's models that has wood sides and aluminum front. it didnt work i had had to replace some output transistors and biasing resistors. it works now and it cranks, its so crisp and...

I've had these in my toolbox for a decade

those are heat sinks for heavy duty wirewound ceramic resistors. slot car gurus used them on the massive resistors that would stick out the top of the controllers. since the resistors were hollow one heatsink would go in each end of the resistor.
