Stock gearbox


Stock spec gearbox with arm mounts to keep things fair


A total savings of 61 grams which is quite a lot. And the reduction in rotational mass should free up some horsepower.

It's only a Hot Racing gearbox but I forgot one detail above, I redrilled a B3/T3 motor plate since I couldn't find a Traxxas motor plate/guard. I really wanted to use an RC10 motor plate but it just didn't fit well. I should have stuck to the Stealth idea but time is starting to get away from me to...

Not necessarily dinner but these little southern delicacies made it all the way to Australia, yeeehaaaa, now where'd I put my RC cola...

:lol: :lol: I'm not sure my driving will be any better, I haven't really driven an RC car in about 6 years and my radio is from 1986, so it's anybody's guess as to what happens. At least I'll have a half decent Traxxas. :shock: crikey, what has the world come to.... Just seeing you with an Associate...

It looks exactly like one that was for sale on ebay not that long ago, with a silver crowd pleazer body and all. I hope it wasn't nearly a year ago.....

Glad your happy Alex, it was my pleasure

Today was a great day all round. Out of the blue Alex found a 27 Mhz Magnum Sr. in Australia of all places, I was all too happy to take it off his hands

Now I have a matching pair.....


Thanks Alex.

I'm pretty sure I used Tra**as #2739 for my SRT. I'll double check when I get home


I can confirm the pins I used were #2739

Quick search on eBay.au came up with this from the UK

That walking and swimming duck is interesting.

Well, modern radios are technically safer for old cars, nothing worse than a bad glitch or runaway which causes you to break something rare, hard to find and expensive....

Blah, can't figure out the youtube thing, must have changed.

I think the idea of the water bath is to prevent arching between comm segments and flush away any carbon deposits.

This is my Vintage racer for an upcoming event in a couple of weeks, I don't think I could have picked a worse race car, lol. I only picked the Hotshot because it was cheap and I needed something to fill in a second class. I hate silver can racing as it's a cheaters class where your up against oddba...

Great work RJ, you've created the quintessential vintage RC image... old radio, Tamiya RC bag, and a Hot Shot - add gold wheels to the Hotshot, a set of fast charge 'suicide' leads, and a leaking 1200 Nicad, and the picture would be complete! :lol: 8) Step away from the idea of it being a race meet...
