If you make it perfect it wont be a Hornet anymore

As you may have seen I've now got a Mardave Meteor so as well as getting the old girl a new pair of sneakers and a new hat I've also started CAD modelling and printing bits , mostly just the gearbox and some gears , I was not initially going to do the gears as Mardave still stock two of the three ge...

I think I'm more impressed with the painting of the drivers head ! as an old mechanic my hands shake like mad from a life of using air tools , trying to do detailed tiny painting is ... well I have a daughter who's very good at it now and I'm forever 3d printing stuff for her so she does the tiny bi...

I guess it really depends on how much load you put them under , if you use a 10.5 brush less motor on lipo batteries then no they won't last long but if your running a 21t brushed motor on 7.2 NiMH then you'll get a reasonable life out of them . I have some Yokomo 834b gears printed by Shapeways in ...

Three years + and still running ,my longest thread , must be longer than winning an argument with my wife
While I'm here what are people's impressions on Fan RC replica RC10 Gold shocks ?

I have a question regarding replacing NiCad battery packs with NiMH on my 80s-vintage Kyosho Rocky. I assume the speed controller and motor were spec'd at the time to be able to dissipate the heat over the runtime of a NiCad battery pack. Since it appears that modern day NiMH can offer runtimes at ...

The other option is to fit a modern brushless motor and speed controller , they run much cooler and typically with modern Lipo batteries you can drive them for over 30 min but you have to remember to be kind the the old school transmition as well , modern brushless motors can be astonishingly powerf...

Very cool , I haven't thought about Barbapapa or Barbamama in decades

Not quite in the mail..... but met up with this nice Jason bloke today, after he drove down from Sydney to Melbourne (1000+kms) to say hello... 01.jpg He dropped off some stuff that has been piling up... 02.jpg Including a massive box of Schumacher vintage parts, cleaned, categorised and organised....

Does he deliver to the UK :?: :lol: Van might get a bit wet.... Maybe you should come down instead, for November's Vintage Bash.... no time like the present. If you have to, steal a loaf of bread ;) It's no such a crazy idea , my daughter's boyfriend lives in Sydney and I have a small boat coming i...

That all came out really well ! I love the dashboard

Had a good display of Rorys balls here too . It's really ultra rare here to see anything like this. It's a real tick off the list
