I tested the electronics for my JJ Ultima build next year. All work great!

Project update:

Installed the engine and clutch plus a few bits and bobs I‘ve found over time.
And a little hint how I‘m planning to change the layout for better weight distribution and engine cooling.

Two sets of rear tires, two sets of front tires, a decal sheet, and a tub of green slime is $100.44. That qualifies for free shipping. I'll take that. :wink: I hate 90% of how AE has handled this whole CC thing, but I am not going to complain about parts coming around that I have always wanted ........

My first remote control experience (besides those toy grade turn in reverse units) would've been slot cars. My brother and I had an oval slot car track sometime around 1987-'88, and also got a Tyco Super Duper Double Looper track with the two Lamborghini Countach slot cars, that thing was a huge de...

Body is complete...any names on car are people that helped or offered to help on this car or Max Q

So just a quick question .............. where do the garage / home-builds go now? I think they were lumped in the "Vintage Other," but now that is sub-categorized into all the makes. Where do the home brews go? :) Well that depends. Is it entirely custom, or is it based off an existing mo...

Starting out the new year 1X better than last year. I've missed out on a few nice Novak 1X units but this one was right condition, right price and just needs a replacement power switch added. I can take care of that.

If you are after an XLS you are kind of stuck searching hobby shops that might still have new old stock. If you are USA based, Amain is where most of the Schumachers come from, and they are a distributor to smaller shops that cant afford the buy in for Horizon and HRP. That means you can often find ...

Finished the build minus the body, used all new/very good electronics, all Futaba, as per the box. Enjoy!
I haven't decided if I'm going to tackle the body or have a pro do it. Not a terribly difficult scheme, but I'd hate to mess up.

17 hours into Deathstorm2024 and this, I haven't touched my driveway yet except for the tire tracks. I'm 60 miles straight east of Todd for reference. People were freaking and raiding the grocery stores and emptying shelves over the weekend for this supposedly brutal storm :lol: :lol: image000000 (...

I would like to take the kid sledding though, so kind of hoping we get something halfass worthwhile. Who needs snow for that? Just tie the sleds to the back of the ol' grocery getter and have at'r. :mrgreen: Don't tell the wife I called her the grocery getter. :? :( :x :wink: :wink: :wink: :mrgreen:

So if I wanted to have this motor freshened up a bit could someone tell me what brushes I would need to find that would be correct for this type/brand of motor? You will want stand-up brushes, not laydown brushes. The difference is how the brush and the curved contact end are oriented in the endbel...
