I have some beat up machine wound modifieds with bushings. They cleaned up nice and I've trued the comms and added new brushes. I was thinking of removing the bushings and installing some bearings. They really seem jammed in there. Does anyone have...

So I've been after a Trinity Kinwald motor for some time now - to go into the Losi XX that I am to build from my NIB kit... the intention is to build this car as close as possible to the spec of the car I used to race.

The particular version of the...

I received a “very good” condition Magnum Jr. today just to have around. The one I have is the one I owned back in the day. It shows the many battle scars of heads up balls out racing. Drops, throws, Mello Yello and Cheetos. Electrical tape here,...

Anyone have info on this motor.Gold end cap and ST stamped on the end of can.Thanks. . . .

Hello all,

I have a bunch of old receivers that have just stopped working. I took the cases off of them and in most cases there is nothing that is burnt or leaking that I could see. Are there schematics available for any of the old equipment? In...

Just thought I will take a pic since I was doing a little clean up.

Bought a small batch of vtg rxs off fleabay and although they work the range is only a few feet. On one I even soldered on a new antenna just to be sure. The txs I am using have been range tested and are fully functional. I think I have about 4 like...

Any Help appreciated,

I have an old Pro Tech Charger. The model number is 707 Autopeak. I would like to try and get a copy of the manual if anyone possibly may have it. If no one has it then perhaps you know what types of cells it can charge. Is it...

New to the forum here. I might be little young...24 but I have a soft spot for vintage RC....especially Tekin, Race Prep, Maxtec and Reedy. Where is what I acquired over the years. These are brands I grow up around but never could afford being a...

Bought a small lot of futaba electronics lot off ebay. I was hoping that the esc would be the one thing to work but it does not. Every time the switch is turned on the led will come on and simultaneously the fuse will blow. Any ideas why? Took case...

Here are a couple of pics of my vintage motor collection. All of these motors were raced at one point in time. My favorites of all have the to be the Slot Machine 2 and the Parodox. They changed stock racing in there own right. First was the laydown...

Hello everyone,

I have just picked a new in box Novak XXL Fm reciever.

My question is can I use my old Futaba Transmitter as it came with AM crystals.
Would Fm crystals transmit perfectly from this Transmitter ?

I don't have a set of 75. mhx....

Can anyone based on the provided pics tell what manfacture or turn of this motor is? End bell says epic, can is sliver with japan stamp on bottom. Has bearings so it can't be too cheap of a motor. What would be some good replacement brushes? Thanks

First off Let me Introduce myself, I'm Rob AKA Stingerrray.

I've been lurking here for a month or two. I got a couple of old RC10 Cadillacs in the last few months. I have learned so much here already. In the boxes of things that came with these 2...

Greetings, I am new to the forum and RC's in general. I picked up an old RC 10 Team Associated gold pan buggy at a yard sell. It is in pretty rough shape but I bought a cheap radio shack 2000Hm(?) battery and the car ran pretty good. It has an...

I recently picked up this little gem from an old racer who was getting rid of a few odds and ends. He raced not just at National level here in Australia back in the 80's and 90's but also at 2 IFMAR 'WORLDS' events that I know of. He was a big time...

Soldered 3 capacitators to my motor. Seemed fine before I did that but how do I know they werent damaged in the process? How do I know they're doing what they're supposed to be doing?

I got it in my head to do a Novak receiver, this old Novak 1 ESC I got, and a Novak steering servo on my green and gold RC10 build. There are a few complications such as the servo and esc use the older Futaba connectors with some sort of pin...

Does anyone know the story as to what happened to ERP endurance racing products? I used to be sponsored by them back in the day...1990-'92.

I ran their matched batterys and had one of their motor zappers. Just curious what bacame of them.

I got this motor with a 1980 car, but being covered with a lot of dust it didn´t look any different than my other Igarashi stock motors.
Now when restoring the car I noticed this is a modified motor. As you can see from the pictures this motor has...

I am wondering if the output of this ESC is enough to fire up an '85 trinity world champ or an old twister motor? I could not find anything on this ESC. If I could get the old RC10 running lively on one of these motors I would be happy as a lark....

Anyone knows what is a good stock (non-rebuildable) motor lathe?

Or should I just stick with comm sticks and new brushes for motors that old...?

I just wanted to show off my NIB Tekin reverse module and maybe get some more information about it. Believe it or not, I only paid $18.50 for this off eBay last year. I'm not sure if I'll use it in a future project or just leave it in the bag. Has...

Hey everyone I was looking through my old brushed box of goodies a found these. I know I have GM1 on the left and a GM2 on the right. What I can not figure out is what the middle one is. It has the same can as the the GM2 but a different endbell....

Hey all, is there a suitable replacement for them? I called Novak and they said no direct replacements. Any suggestions?

In the course of some recent dealings, I've come across some old motors and ESCs that I thoguht I'd share. I haven't tested any of this stuff yet, but if it works, I'll probably make them earn their keep.

Nothing too exotic, but I personally...

I just picked up a Airtronics CS2P with a 99236 receiver and am trying to figure how to use futaba connectors on it, but I seem can't to recall whether or not that airtronics stuff was wired differently?? Is the signal wire the same way as futaba ?...

Here's a few pics of my spare motors and electronics. There's not many esc's as mostly they're mounted in buggies.

I keep them all stored in my old Trinity Mini Parts Hauler (Did they ever do another size of this?)

I used to use one of these...

Looking for pics of as many different KO receivers as possible

Been having another big r/c clean up & I found my 2 vintage Yokomo Turbo motors.

I bought one back in the day & it was a pretty week motor. They look cool though.

These will go in my vintage motor collection. Not new but not too bad though.

Using 100w Gun with Rosin Core solder. Cleaned solder points on cells very well, but cannot get solder to stick. Am I using the wrong tools?

I just got this 2nd hand Tamiya 02H mod motor'

I always wanted one due to the awesome ribbed can design. It is so different in it's design. The endbell is held with 2 long scres that goes through the can to the seprate mottor plate. The brushes are...

I don't ever recall seeing a Futaba Magnum Racer from Great planes, were these from a different country? Just won a car on eBay with one. The designation is the same as the Junior

Just had an old futaba pcm radio and reciever given to me. Very trustworthy guy, he told me it was working when he stopped using it a few years back.

Hello all,
I have a 6 gear Rc10 with full bearings that came with an old black plastic end bell silver can. I gave the motor a water-dipping break in, although I'm not sure how much it helps an old motor. When I drove the car, the motor gave very...

Got one 1/12th scale car from 1985/1986 with 2 Ko Propo PS51BS fitted for steering and mechanical speedcontrol. Someone knows this mini servo and what year it was released? I found some specs but no year.

Howdy,

Got myself a ko propo kr-288 receiver from a recent buggy purchase, is there any way to tell what frequency it is?

Regards

Rob

Just purchased a KoPropo CX-1.

Wondering if anyone can help me with a manual?

Thanks,

Just wondering if the tubing for old receiver antennas can be purchased locally? Maybe at TruValue, auto stores, Hobby Lobby, etc. Hoping someone will know before I start driving all over town trying to find it...must be somewhere. I would like to...

I'm looking for an education in all things 'TECHI' but mainly the earlier motors. Any info out there on winds and different versions?
