It should be exactly as it was in those pics, hiding somewhere in my mess of boxes

Best all around shock? Hands down, I’m a Kyosho gold guy. Best shock that held oil the worst? Delta. Best shock that is nearly impossible to bleed? Delta Best modern shock? Too many to choose from. Most overrated shock? Trinity hands down. Complete rubbish Most interesting shock? Progressive technol...

You won’t find performance Sub C cells anymore, nor name brand even. You can source some generics off Amazon or eBay fairly reasonably but you know the numbers are a lie. I have had decent luck with Tenergy batteries from hobby king, and they have a 7.2v stick pack rated 4200mah for $18, and you can...

If you are set on using that charger, Amazon does have some loose sub c nicad cells. I’m pretty shocked actually.

It looks like there are still Tamiya nicd packs available. I don't know if they are still making them or if they are just still on the shelves. I have a couple Onyx nicd packs that I bought a couple years ago but it doesn't look like they are still available. I had bought them so that I could contin...

There are a couple saddle lipos that have that indentation on the bottom shaped like the subc cells molded in....i saw one at the onroad track this winter. next time i am there i will look and see what it is...if its still there. As far as your vintage esc and lipos it should be fine, just dont run ...

I second the thought on NiMh... they may be about the only way to go for you in the near term. I too was a racer from the same era... and had packs from Sanyo 1200's, up through the 1400-1500's, and quit racing shortly after the 1700 SCRC's became huge. Funny thing... of all the packs I ran and buil...

Funny thing... of all the packs I ran and built... for MY setup, I had a couple 1400 packs that just "felt" right. Perfect punch, charge characteristics, and easy peasy maintenance. I second that about the 1400's. I had my favorite battery as well and it was a Sanyo 1400SCR saddle pack. I...

Given perfect conditions for the vehicle, tomorrow morning, and of course having the day off, what RC four wheeled vehicle would you take out for the most fun? Carpet car, you found a track with brand new carpet free to play on. Buggy / truggy, you found a perfect dirt course with perfect grip. Craw...

I have BSR wheels and tires on a couple cars. They were available and reasonably priced, which fit my needs.

Also check CRC. They have foams but the RT1 tires look awesome.

RJ Speed legend wheels and tires will fit and work fine. Probably the most affordable. For a runner you might look at the CRC rubber tires, they are life changing. If you have old wheels kicking around, check with gone bananas racing skinz (on Facebook) they will mount up fresh foams and true them f...

Hello, This winter, when tidying my attic, I found back my old toys including a RC12LW I bought in 1993 when I was a teenager. This car almost never ran, maybe 100m of test drive in my parent's house driveway. The box later suffered from a flood in my parent's cellar but, fortunately, the car was st...

Little update ;) https://media.joomeo.com/large/60bbdaf39a9e8.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/60bbdb066060e.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/60bbdb14a4a87.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/60bbdb23de0c0.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/60bbdb3735ba6.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/60bbdb4...

Futaba used to offer these two spec lists for their older discontinued receivers and servos. Now they're only available through the Internet Archives site. That's a bit of a pain. So I decided to edit them a bit, and post them here for easier reference. FutabaDiscreceivers.png FutabaDiscServos.png

You don’t see racing like this anymore.
