i used to use a jewelers screwdriver, the ones with the black tip and silver ribbed handles with the spinner on top. I had one probably 1/8" wide that was sort of stubby and fit in the slot nicely. I also used a pick tool sometimes. you can pry against the motor endbell and get the tab to start...

Also, if you have access to an arbor press or even a drill press, you can use it to gently press the motor apart. I've used a flat motor plate screwed into place ( or a scrap aluminum plate with holes drilled to accept the motor), then secure the motor upright between a couple blocks on the press ta...

Thanks guys. Like Todd I used to watch this sort of stuff on TV all the time.

My favorite was when TNN motorsport was on non stop Friday nights, everything from swamp bugies, to stadium trucks to monster trucks and more.

I'm looking forward to your ESC review. I've been thinking about getting that exact ESC for a long while now. The description wording in the Chinese acutions has always prevented the purchase: "High quality PCB plate, good linearity, high current capability, can be No brush and no sense of bru...

I actually load them with a combo of modern ae spacers, and traxxas rebuild kits which include the retaining clip and washer as these are easier to come by tha...

For a little warmer thought... dammit...shows up regularly on my phone but when I post it shows up sideways

Looks like a Team Cobra Nemesis

Tamiyadan gone ! That's a real loss , he was helpful and insightful ,its a shame .

Dan had strong opinions but I learned long ago that he was usually right. He was like an encyclopedia of knowledge of vintage RC and I'll miss the entire chapters of text he'd write in his forum posts, there was a lot to learn from him. I don't know what happened but his wealth of knowledge and expe...
