I bought my MRC Road Winner circa 1988, about 3 months before buying my first used Hornet. I had a cheap DC charger to charge my cheap battery for my MRC. I remember waiting for it to charge off of my mom's Dodge Caravan(Complete with wooden panels)cigarette lighter. It was like watching and waiting...

Nice, really like that early one

I seen those. I figured someone here would get them.

The Diamond One wet sanded and finished with two more heavy coats of clear, it was painted outside in the wind so it isn't perfect...but not bad, can untape the windows tomorrow, then it will be officially done

All done

Lots of talk about slot brush conversions on here recently, so here is a review from Radio Race Car magazine discussing the offering from Intronics.

An interesting read.

There is a lot more history behind several of the well known RC motor builders, all originating from the 70's slot scene. I started delving into this and ended up buying an original Mick Goddard (MG) 550 slot car, fully hand made from brass bars and plates. Super cool. Mick was big in the slot scene...

Got a BRP motor dyno, complete with box, instructions, and data sheets. Also came with Nexus Street Fighter and Trinity T-Tech (wind unknown) motors.

I’m Daryl Lane’s son. Most...

I have this minty 35T which has a red label too.

And another holy grail for me.
Delta motor, built by a certain world champion

Since most of my dad’s pics are gone from his posts I’ll start adding some of the cars back up. First one is a Chris Allec special, scratch built chassis that was raced at the nats before the double decker 91 worlds car. Chris gave it to my dad to run afterwards. https://filedn.com/lrK7XiCxEw7LTTVXJ...

After several years of searching, I finally managed to find one for a very reasonable price. Mis-titled on the Bay listing might have been reason it was overlooked until I came across it. With a BIN, it was mine :D ! Although, I have several other cars still in progress. Can never have to many, righ...

These just arrived today.... an original and unused Checkpoint slot armature, an MG one (never come across an MG slot armature before), and a bag of bits and bobs... notable for the slot brush gear hoods and brushes, plus a pair of round heatsinks which are actually designed to be pushed on to the t...
