No expert here....others will be able to add more....but...I think that's an OG Revtech modified motor 1987-89ish maybe. The blue caps and painted can are a dead give away. I'd say you might actually have a 12 turn Sizzler there! The number of winds is burned into the endbell of the second photo of ...

Latest motherload....A few guys here know my situation. Basically, I live overseas and only make it back stateside once a year or so. Well, this is the result of a years worth of orders bought and delivered in the U.S.....and I'm finally able to pick it all up! So, technically...all finally received...

Enough DU-BRO links to feed 2-3 Predator Lynx for a while.

Wanted to get back to my CC Predator Lynx build now that I've gotten all the parts needed....and more...but got side tracked with a CC Predator tear down I picked up cheap to use for spare parts for the Lynx. For OG Lynx..now I've got, the roller, one NIB and one more ebay new roller. Nice bits to a...

Set up all 4 rear links, rebuilt the Delta shocks and re-assembled the diff on the CC Predator Lynx.

Tie rods, e-clips, ball cups, servo mount...the right front bearings....after ordering the wrong ones first....aaannnnddd....of course, a few more Revtech motors for the collection...why not

Finally got the right length tie rods...so...on to the front end. Associated titanium, DuBro 4-40's to the blocks and 2-56's to the Kimbro. You've got to ream the 2-56's to fit the rod...but, they're self tapping with plenty of material, so easy to do. Futaba S132h and good old 12e/i/L front spacer ...

Electronics mounted and routed and decals added to the Predator Lynx.

Power Supply, XT90 connectors, 12/14/16awg wire and some heat shrink tubing. Really need the garage to be finished...workstation/crappy old dresser just ain't gonna cut it much longer

An OG, hard wired nicad runner....YES!!! Love how the first pics are strapping tape on the saddle packs and the second black electrical tape....NICE true period correct runner...BRAVO!! August build of the month winner?!? You got my vote....just say'n

Very cool thread! Was mostly into dirt oval and on-road oval/can-am...but did find this regarding 1987: Per Gene Husting: http://www.dirt-burners.com/rcdox/Race%20Reports%20etc/1987%20IFMAR%20World%20Championships%2C%20Romsey%2C%20England%20%28RCMC%2C%20nov%2087%2C%20US%29.pdf RCMC: https://www.over...

A few days ago. Time to get busy on some electronics!

Finally got the solder station, so started turning some stick pack SCR's I got a while back into saddle packs.

Since the old brain sorta started to remember how to solder with the first battery pack as practice....decided to finish up the electrics. Soldering 3 large gauge wires to OG 4 pin deans plugs...was not as easy as I remembered...could've used a few more hands/alligator clips :lol: But all in all hap...

Switched out an Associated and some other style connector on a Novak Digi-Peak Plus to XT-90 and 4 pin dean.
