I have a couple of these sitting around for testing purposes: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BW0Q6C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are many more 75MHz frequencies available than 27MHz, which I think there are only six frequencies in the USA. Regarding your TX module switching from 27 to 75MHz, I'm not sure that's possible. But I'd like to know too because I have a PCM1024 FM Futaba that has the module. But I was always un...

As far as I know the modulation is in the module so I think you can freely swap module bands. I know the earlier radios had different length antennas based on the band 27/75mhz. I believe the 27FM/PCM was designed for international travel as most countries allow the 27mhz band. Ideally you'd want to...

Also need to figure out what to do with this. https://i.imgur.com/sSGMO9M.jpg Delima... They're exceedingly cool and your gut instinct was to buy and install a new one... given the package is damaged it likely wouldn't be a consideration for a NIP parts collection so, if no one asks if they can buy...

I say slap it on. I think gear covers for Stealth with hydra can be found. I saw one somewhere recently...

Edit: Not if you are gonna run it though. But for display of goodies of the era.

Should be everything. Oh snap, I didn't realize it was the whole Stealth conversion kit... that's awesome. Right shaft, cover, everything... Nice score! I say slap it on.

Nicely done and documented

This kit was no joke, not sure how someone could install this between races, it was very involved... Don't know anyone did, was more of an install-at-home thing. Tuning it was nearly as difficult. Something regular slipper clutches had over it, quicker/easier adjustments. Multiple 'Drives with thei...

That blue one looks like you don't need to convert the Rooster. Red is the middle wire just like Futaba. But your current servo would need to be converted.
.

That has the Airtronics Z plug, which is wired the same as a Futaba J. However, the Z plug is a bit on the "petite" side, requiring you to trim down most other plug housings to fit.

This is the difference in the old vs new Airtronics connector.

Is there a special tool to remove the Tamiya battery connector? I need to solder the JST adapter to the Rooster plug, for the BEC. Can't figure out how to get that off without ruining anything. https://i.imgur.com/UUcCC76.jpg https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?p=548015&hilit=pin+extractor#p...

Oh, I misread. I thought he waa planning to change types of battery connectors.

In the video from '93, at 7:53, he made it sound like Brian Kinwald changed to the Hydra Drive between qualifying races; perhaps I inferred more than was there. I haven't run the kit yet, but I was expecting this to be like putting a fly wheel weight on a two-stroke dirt bike, to smooth out the pow...
