Thank you for all the info and taking the time to explain it to me Joseph. I'm not 100% set on having him use the vintage one, but I have several, probably 6-8 rollers I got over the years when I saw a good deal. I have lots of back up parts as...

I see that R142JE is called out in the manual. Somehow I muat have gotten confused about the 152 superseding the 142. Thanks for the measurements.
20 does sound like a good starting point. Just making sure 23 isn't more common.
So what models from the gallery section are your favorites? Post as often as you like. Crediting the builder would be nice, but leaving it as an I Spy type post is cool too. This one will always be in my top 3 all time. Perfection... IMHO :mrgreen:...

I actually acquired Gene's RC12i from Curtis last year. It was not his personal race car but his promotional/marketing car. It is on display at Hobby Action Raceway in Chandler, AZ.
I’ve always been fascinated with R/C cars. I recall having a few low end ones that went forwards and backwards and only turned in reverse. One year for Christmas I got a Shinsei Dust Runner ATC 250 three wheeler. It was digital proportional and was...

Interesting... The white signal wire is connected to the #5 on the IC.

Our local track saw an uptick in novice racers with the Losi Mini B/T2.0. These were kept as a controlled spec class, but many kids, including my own, soon moved up to 1/10 scale.

In fact, the RC-10 is so old it still had the mechanical wiper speed control on it.
