Yep, that logo is so 80s!

This looks like the car to me and a great find! The RCCA article mentions it getting stepped on by a corner marshall.. do you see any signs of that? Funny you mentioned that. I did notice some body creases and a large one on top of the roof kinda shaped like someone's foot. It's hard to capture wit...

I've been away for some time. 2023 has been a rough year for me so far. But been getting back into things now to get my mind off daily living and hopefully it takes a positive turn from this point on.

They do show up from time to time but it seems harder to find a gem nowadays. Mostly luck of the draw it seems.

Wow! Sure looks like the real deal to me...awesome! Seriously nice find there! Steering blocks are white vs. black...but bending kingpins and swapping blocks was common bitd...and they're the same style. Yep - that is the only difference I see as well. You may be right about the front end being reb...

I have been hunting for a nice Tekin Titan ESC and took a chance on an untested unit. It passes power to the steering servo and the light indicates that the throttle calibration works, but it won't turn a motor. Does anyone know of someone that does ESC repairs? Any personal experience with their w...

So, this guy has had my money for a week, and refuses to ship or provide tracking number because of numerous excuses. So, I get PayPal involved (paid via CC through PP goods or services), and they want me to sit on this for three weeks??? WTF kind of protection is that??? Why TF should this take th...

I was leaning nicd as well. I measured the voltage just for giggles and it was at 4V. I would have thought it would be dead all these years. Just for curiosity, I will slow charge it and see what happens

Have an NOS PTI stick pack but no markings anywhere indicating NICD or NiMH. Any way to tell without cutting into shrink wrap?

Bravo for reinstalling the brushed setup. It belongs in there!

Great car and build! Congrats!

Got railroaded!....what a scam...my "NOS" Tamiya Technipower just arrived...I paid big 💰 for...it's used...has rust on it...has spare used brushes in box too..soldering is below par by far on it...motor even has engravings on it... it did come with original box and manual...the only upsho...
