There is a BEC in the form of dropping diodes , under the switch is a dropping diode . I've never run mine with the mechanical Speedo so don't know the details exact function of it .

I already see 3d printing as the affordable future of Vintage RC Racing , as parts become scarce they become expensive and race cars become shelf queen's , 3d printed parts can put them back on track where they were designed to be .

I don't know if it helps but all the shafts on the Zerda have machined flat areas for set screws to locate , maybe a burr is catching on the flat area stopping the shafts coming out .
As an old mechanic I had to give this advice to my apprentice's many times " Use More Force Luke"

At the front of the cage maybe 20-25mm from front is a cross piece with screws in it, you could hide a joint there that might make it just short enough for commercial printing, it would also be away from most roll over stress.

Just tried Fastrax shocks and they are really nice threaded body shocks with double O rings and double PTFE guides , excellent value .

It's virtually impossible to put a price on but between £375 and £575 depending on the day could go higher, if you put £600 buy it now on eBay it might go or sit there forever .

My daughter took one of the pythons out to bask as it's hot today .

That looks awesome , are you keeping the stock remote long linkage servo steering or going for an up front servo ?

Kydex is easy and fun , you can score it with a Stanley knife then bend along the score to crack it like Lexan .

Started modelling the Mini Mustang , got a wheel printed , looks nice , somehow I made it too deep but easily remedied .

Starlings arguing over my bird feeder , meal worms are like crack to them .

Nice thread idea. :D I'll throw in the SG Racing (Tag Racing ) Coyote for being the first for two things. Firstly saddle pack battery's in a buggy, and secondly the first centre line transmission 4wd with just a spur on the centre prop shaft and two bevel geared diffs. Pretty sure it's the first and...

Started on the PB Mini Mustang Chassis , not finished yet as I'm starting with the left side and only the elements that are mirrored on the other side , no motor hole yet but my brain just turned to mush so it's time to stop . Yesterday I also drew up and test printed the motor plate , then adjusted...

It can be frustrating trying to measure warped/shrunk parts and trying to determine if something is meant to be 25mm 25.25mm or 25.5mm , the solution I use a fair bit is to make 3mm holes 3.5mm instead , this not only allows for hole shrinkage in 3d printing but gives you a little wiggle room as wel...
