Had a few minutes spare time, so got the (new to me) Kyosho 480 Gold on to the bench and gave it an internal cavity search. \ Glad I did..... that doesn't look right! 1.jpg Comm looks in pretty good condition... 2.jpg 3.jpg Not sure the whole thing is meant to look this 'twisted' though..... 4.jpg N...

Not sure the whole thing is meant to look this 'twisted' though..... That's about the only way a 25T quad is gonna happen. Well, that's good news..... thanks mate. For me, motor maintenance usually involves grabbing another one from the pile, and seeing if it works :P :lol: 8) :shock: :oops:

The skewed/slanted armature slots are correct.

Cheers @R6cowboy, thanks for that! Will feel happier when I put it up for grabs

I just finished cataloguing a pile of RC mags that I'm going to try to sell for the family of an old friend..... 20250125_172733.jpg 20250125_172937.jpg Seven boxes and four bags of mostly RCCA , Aussie mag Racing Lines , and Japanese mags RC Magazine and RC World . 416 magazines all together, inclu...

Bought a Tamiya Mini body from a local source, and it arrived today. Mini Body.jpg Interestingly, it's the older M01 style body, which takes add-in grille and bumpers... I was expecting the later style, with these details already in the lexan. I guess that's a good thing, right???? Now, got to find ...

Nice delivery today.... 20250130_164759.jpg Quite a list of stuff: - New built Schumacher Mi6 touring chassis, with a pile of spare belts to suit - New Protoform Firebird Trans Am body - Two painted but unused Protoform race bodies - Three used but usable race lids - Five sets of touring car mounted...

Ok so I might not have the terminology correct but here goes. In my understanding if you connect 2 2s batteries together you get a 4s power supply. So this would be a parallel connection right? Is there a way to connect 2 2s batteries together so that they remain 2s batteries ( in series) and don’t...

That's one way to generate a TRX1 re-release.....

Was it inside a brown paper bag that was on fire?

Is this a reference that I'm not getting? Or a jab at its rather poor state. It's a reference to dog poo in a bag, set on fire, and put on someone's doorstep as a practical joke - the victim opens the door, sees the fire, and stamps on it to put it out. Cue hilarity ;) Might have guessed, I'm not a...

I had been out of the hobby from roughly 1993 to 2008, this was one of the 1st places I found for some reason. Since then, vintage has bankrupted me, ruined my marriage, destroyed my career, and I live in a box under a viaduct with my collection of RC10's. And wouldn't change a thing, thanks RC10 t...

Continued the build on this Tamiya chassis I'm building out of parts I have laying around... So far, it's about 75% new parts.... hoping that it will match the body I have set aside for it!

10 points for anyone who can identify exactly what it is.... or, soon will be

This is definitely the best solution to increase the motivation scale.

I'm calling shenanigans on that statement.....
