Definitely hard to find these with the shunts. I've had some luck in the past on ebay by searching, "R/C vintage brushed motor parts lot".....they pop up sometimes that way, mixed in with other stuff and are usually cheaper when they do. Scored these Trinity ones a few months back....$65, ...

1984- All the kids in the neighborhood got Tamiya Frogs and Hornets for Christmas and were bashing away. Awww man....I was desperate for a Hornet! 1984-1985 - Dad was an engineer and as they do, he found a hobby shop out in the country near us (B&H Hobbies, Mechanicsville, VA.) and bought that n...

Something about dirt, tires, motor spray, solder flux, hot electronics smells all mixed together...you know what I'm talking about. If it was a candle scent it would be called "at the track". Very true. I recently bought some discontinued tires off eBay, NIP. When they arrived they smelle...

Basically created the pan car market in the early '80's......thank you Mr. Rule for all the great memories! RIP....all the best to the family. (pic lifted off google, not mine...but fits the post). Most cars in the parking lot at the track bitd had this bumper sticker!

Winner!

Hmmm....is it a BoLink Invader?

Six more new stick packs of 2500mah SCR NiCd's to convert over to saddle packs. Ordered yesterday, hopefully arriving before Christmas.

The collection so far.........

Electrics.....went with a mild 20 turn for starters.

Outdoor and indoor car....almost ready for the summer!!! Still need to solder up connectors to the esc and fab another bumper for the NIB...plus cut and mount another TOJ....and find somebody to paint them up. I've got 3 saddle packs already soldered up and another 6 more to do. 20240927_232120-min....

Cut and mounted another TOJ for the indoor/carpet car....thanks again RC10resto, I guarantee the NIB will never see any asphalt scratches! Will be running both this summer.

Made two new bumpers.....wasn't happy with the width on the first one I made a while back. The added width covers both front tires and should help protect the kingpin/graphite crossbar weak spots a bit better. For what it's worth, my chicken scratch/drawing is in the photo if anybody is interested. ...

Soldered up the esc for the indoor car....

Very cool! First post seems like it's wide open.....Can I come up from Cotignac/FR and play!? Pan car (1987/88), Brushed motors, Novak OG electronics, 75mhz AM Futaba Magnum Sr., running brand new 2500mAh Panasonic SCR saddle packs.
