My first hobby grade car came from America's Hobby Center.

It's a Cox Bandido that was on clearance. I still have it.

Some more Ebay junk rehab.

I got a ECX Circuit slider with an electronics parts lot and picked up a cheap Torment parts car. Between the two, I've put this together. I bought a new battery strap, gear cover, and front axles.
Just need a body and some wheels/tires.

With a cheap Amazon body and tires, my spare parts Stampede is standing on it's own. Just need to put the decals on.

I have several of both. Other than the color and decals, they are identical.

Shipping would suck, but I'll trade a Shredder for the Micro Pro.

And the Cirrus cases don't match with the Hitec cases. Hitec is smoke and Cirrus is true clear.

If you don't need a vintage servo, Blue Bird makes some smoke/clear ones that match fairly well.

For future reference, these Ace receivers are also good for space limited applications. They are a little shorter, but wider than the Hitec/Dynamite.

Gulf Coast?

Still going!

It's lighter now but still going. I measured 8" in the middle of my back yard.

Ugh.

That's about the only way a 25T quad is gonna happen.

For me, motor maintenance usually involves grabbing another one from the pile, and seeing if it works :P :lol: 8) :shock: :oops: Oh, my...

Verify the thread on those CRP axles. The last ones I got had M3.5 threads and came with M4 nuts. I also have an older set with M4 threads.

That was almost my first "hobby grade" car. My dad liked the idea of buying a Cox product instead, with was actually a Kyosho.

I have this for reference.
