The prices on 3d printers are becoming pretty obtainable. Same with the 3d scanners. So yeah....those are on my wish list!

I wouldn't doubt that the arm was rewound back in those days.

always drooled over them but never saw one in person. simple design, same basic concept still used. I bet they work great! Until you try using reverse

I dont have any info on it, but dang, thats COOL I dig the bearings in a 05 havent seen that before

If you tried the adjustment pots and cant get the motor to shut off, it may be fried- that would also explain why the solder pop fuse keeps blowing. I always set the pots with the motor connected but pinion off, just my personal preference. that way I can hear the motor but it isnt loaded. Might try...

yeah my memory isnt what it used to be so I had my fingers crossed

You literally just solder the pins together with a blob of solder. Again, its been a while but I am 95% sure that unit used the solder pop technology.

How many bearings in each outdrive? If you can push and pull the outdrives it sounds like there is something missing

Iirc the "fuse " on that is a solder pop. You just jumper the legs with a blob of solder. A diode may cause problems.

like these?

yup, i am betting ultima as well

The tekin has a fuse on the top opposite the adjustment pots, pull it and check it. I replaced a million of them when I worked in the store 10 years ago.

When you try to throttle do you get any lights?

My favorite is when they look at the decals to decide the title. "Rare vintage Texaco piaa dominos RC car". You send an email asking what it is and never get a response. Ahhh, craigslist ftw.

There is one nip on ebay for about $8 shipped buy-it-now...ends in 19 hours....hurry!

Doh! Just realized your not in the US. Sorry:-(
