Still waiting on wheels and the body from Andy....in the meantime I had this esc, servo and motor laying around so I decided to put it in for better performance....it's an older 21.5 I used to race in 12th scale...the esc has timing and boost so I set them both to 30 degrees each....the receiver is ...

Here's the car and the backstory on it: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=16969

Here it is today

Benji "theytookmythumb" raced one in the late 80's and is your go to guy on this info...hopefully he responds or u could message him

Wow! Love it

I wish, we are restoring it for "Thumbs"....it originally was gonna be 9 to 12 months but has to be done for a Jason Fest May 21st (22')....hope i can score a decent Novak esc by then

....so much for my custom painted body from Andy, it came back today.....UNPAINTED!....with no explaination... I am a past customer too. Man, that's weird and disappointing. :? It was gonna be bad-ass! Oh well, I'm excited to see what you have up your sleeve. This was the inspiration received_26029...

Restored this today, cut comm, brushes, decal....usual stuff....ended up being a classic piece once I got it taken apart....It had a Joel Johnson signature decal but was all beat up....motor turned out to be a 17x3, same won 87' with in his Ultima I believe....motor rips.....31,100 rpm @ 7.2.v, 2.9 ...

That Green Machine is pretty classic, looks like no brush hood heatsinks from pic, hard to see....I like them best without the heatsinks, or whatever those things are Are you taking about the screw down heatsinks or the newer Paradox style hoods? None of my Trinity stock motors have the screw down ...

Resto is slow going now that we are back to work, but made a little headway....no its not a real Novak but it's gonna look cherry in there

Ole boy from Spain made them for me, he is on Facebook group RC Shelf Queens...it's his group

Factory Works Super Shot....the chassis isn't just a pretty add-on, it changes the steering geometry and this thing drives amazing
