Re: A question about modern brushed motors with vintage ESCs

Motor capacitors were for regulating RF interference. If you're using a 2.4GHz radio you don't need them, am/fm you do.

Re: The Lives and Deaths of RC Companies

My RC10 Graphite listed for $325 in 1989 and sold for around $300 retail. My ne w RC10B7 was $385 in 2024. That's a 28% nominal increase, but corrected for 35 years of inflation it's a net decline. $300 in 1989 is equivalent to ~$760 today. I dig the math, but... in 1990 Graphite's with bearings we...

Re: Blasphemous T2 retro racer

Re: APM Custom Hobbies King Cab Parts

These, I am not sure about. They dont seem to match the size of the APM King Cab side bars, but they do match a similar style. They could also be APM Clodbuster side bars, though I have never seen any pictures or adds for those, only a few people claiming they've seen them. Or maybe they're drawer ...
