Recently built a Tamiya VW Bus model, and wanted to go all magnetic body posts to keep a scale look. Also added the Tamiya TLU-1 LED kit, and found it was a hassle to constantly plug and unplug the ElecHawk light switch module in to the 3rd channel on the receiver every time the body needed to be re...

I did some reverse engineering and confirmed that the charger circuit is only switched in when the radio power switch is off. Charging is only enabled when the radio is switched off, which makes sense. I have some NiMh cells, but not enough and different capacities/ages. I am going to mount a 12VDC ...

Hi folks, just thought I would introduce myself. Been racing since the late 1980's and finally getting my back catalogue back together of my favourite cars. Just picked up this B3 and B4. I used to race a B3 back in the day at the regional's and have fond memories of that car. Anyway Hi and thanks f...
