Rest in peace little buddy, you will be deeply missed.

It certainly gave a good like-for-like comparison, particularly for standard 27T motors. We used to get handed hand-picked MG motors when we were competing the standard class, and those motors always consistently gave around 2-3000rpm more than the off-the-shelf equivalents we had tested previously....

Decided to play around with a Nikko Dictator. To be fair, this is a radio shack version but mostly compatible. I have a proper Nikko coming for the final build. It cost me $35 shipped, so I can't complain! The car isn't too far from hobby grade really, except that they make it near impossible to swa...

Ok folks, I know nothing about these, but have just been given this as part of a large score. It was thrown in for free so I am looking for some info on it please. Can anybody tell me what I have here, what I need to look out for etc... I have never really fancied a Sand Scorcher before, but now I h...

I've had this old RPS dog for years (I bought it from Doug aka Apexspeed) and had gathered some parts for it over the years which were thrown in the box as I stumbled on them.

H-arms are for losers, 5 link for the win.

Excellent question. That would be pretty cool to see a 4wd ds. I would say there needs to be some custom work on the front end to fit the trans.

update with very special scale cars

Had to make some copy's of old pictures of my off-road car when I got it many years back. I could not get the OPS engine to run but was put to good use in my shelf car I'll post later.

Here's my dominator after installing Jeff's Factory Works Chassis, mini-mags, Duratrax box spike tires and Putnam Motor. I am missing the chain tensioner.

Those early check point motors used slot car sized brushes and springs.

I never had them, but I would assume you could just use the slot car shunt wire too. Solder the one end to the hood and tuck the other between the spring and brush.
