Re: Your top five cherished RC (by manufacture) in a collection?

My original lightened 870c race car
My original Works 91
Pinkomo
Brimod prototype
Concept Car 4wd RC10

(Quite tough actually... I could easily switch those last two for any of my Tomy Intruder, SWB CAT, CAT XL, Pro Radiant, Radiant Mid Supercharge Hotshot).

Re: What Speed Controllers Were Available Circa 1980?

Sorry - i am a few weeks late to the party here.... Nick Adams was producing his units from 1977, and i have seen pictures of his original prototype and design drawings for the Demon 1 from that year as he still had them at the time of his unfortunate passing. The Demon 2 was commercially available ...

Re: Demon motor feature identification

I think it was a label like the ones i have..... the POWER is at the top whereas on the devil logo ones it is below the timing marks.

Happy to send you a new original if required bud.

Re: Cherished electric motors

This is almost impossible for me to answer off the top of my head. Great thread to get me thinking about my collection though. Motors have 'value' for many different reasons, looks, performance, rarity or just an emotional connection out of nosalgia i suppose. My list out of my collection would cont...

Re: Cherished electric motors

It is funny - they look so basic but the MG Igarashi motor i have has the highest torque reading of all of my motors. The BoLink/Checkpoint slot brush conversions made the Igarashi motor performance step up another notch also, and I believe on the 83 1/12th circuit the Igarashi motors were more than...

Re: 834b Delta-ish racer

Little progress with the Delta build. I am planning to run this so it is being built to my own specs rather than sticking to what may be considered the norm.... Quick carpet mock-up looks as follows. 311447818_1157942205071239_5850168206422234634_n.jpg I have had some fun trying to locate the correc...

Re: 834b Delta-ish racer

Another massive find was an original Delta slipper clutch, thanks to a very helpful and generous member on this very forum - RC10resto, AKA Brian, who took the time to thoroughly check the item he had available to see it was all intact. In fact he contacted me with the item saying it might be availa...

Re: Hirobo 44B

I picked up one of these last year, but haven't done anything with it. It was too cool to pass up, especially with the Associated shocks, CRP chassis plate and stadium truck bodyshell. Wheels and tyres look good too, plus it also has a new pair of rims and some new in packet red ball joints as well....

Gear cover ID

I am currently playing about with a very lightened MMS car, and have stumbled across a really thick, ribbed gear cover I have not seen previously. It came with a rare Demon Dart bodyshell and one person (Jamie Booth) has suggested he thinks this might be a Demon gear cover. Anybody seen this before ...
