Small, but sweet update.
Big shout out to @Toaster for sending over the circlips. Thank you very much sir!!

Long story short, I paid a visit to my pulmonologist on Monday and got a very good report -- no cancer and no more tests, praise God! Maybe there's still time to finish this and a pile of other hobby projects. :D Thant is excellent news, Doug!! Glad to hear it. When it comes to the Vette I know exa...

Beautiful build.
The body is looking soo good!

While waiting on parts I decided to refurbish a Novak HPc ESC.
Birchwood Casey aluminum black is really helpful when tidying up the cooling flanges.
The Novus 7136 plastic polish kit does the trick on the housing, a light rub with alcohol on the wires along with a new plus wire and we’re all set.

Impressive piece of kit

Nevermind. I found a scan of them and there is no date on it. It did remind me that they also had one for the Losi XX. That didn't come out until late 1994. So I'm gonna stay with maybe 1994, but both could actually be in 1995. I know RCCA did an article on the kit, but I have to figure out when. L...

Wanted to check if anyone can date the U1617A SACS?

Thank you, Jason!

Have you test fitted some batteries to see if they are loose with your current configuration? You could run a strip of dense foam tape on the underside of the hold down if you didn't want to shave down the cups. But if you are going for a super replica....... Looks like the tops of the socket heads...

Here’s something I noticed when cutting the styrene battery hold down. As Masami removed the bottom of the battery cups he probably had to grind down the height of the cups so that the battery cells would have a snug fit….. well that is my theory. Compare pics and look at height of the 4-40 socket h...

I´ll have to say Tekin 410K.
It was that highly sought after ESC that you never could afford and so different from all others.

Here's a question for you.
I have a Bolink LTO XL and there's no manual in it. I do not know if the manual got lost over the years or if Bolink even offered a manual for it.
Anyone know if there were a manual for this kit?

Congratulations Kedal! A well deserved win!

Okay.. this shows what color scheme I’m going for..
NOTE! Do not mix Faskolor and Tamiya’s PS rattle can paint. Faskolor do not like it at all!
I got my work cut out trying to fix the body.
