For "real life" experience I took a crappy cell pic of my current shelf rotation. This is my fate 'til I build my barn or move. Again, servos and a motor maybe, but escs and rxs are out of the question for me.

For your build definitely add the electronics. You're using the mechanical speed controller and without the servo you've got no where to mount the wiper arm. Once you got both servos in there's really no reason left not to put in the receiver too.
As for a motor I think every car should have one...regardless whether it's a runner or shelfer. Even if the motor is left unwired, it's better than the hollow look of an empty motor plate.
Not sure if you saw my gallery but I prefer to install electronics. It really adds to the realism and challenge /creativity to find cool vintage servos, esc's, etc. The bad part is that it adds significantly to the cost.
It doesn't matter to me... Personally if you are displaying them on a shelf and not running them, its simply a model car regardless if it has electronics.
Everyone vote!...building an AGI Jammer...should I go simple Bolink front-end or more sophisticated RC10L4 front end...need reasons with replys...thanks!

He's a facebooker. Kevin Allen Pallen. Just in case you wanted to see if he could save you some dough outside ebay.
I am toying with the idea of having some parts reproduced for some of the vintage Losi stuff. Molds will cost a fortune, I am sure. But might be enough interest from the people who want to run them and not just have them sit on a shelf.
So what...

that is the same problem i was having for the idler in the 6 gear transmission, $1000. or more just to make the injection mold
I just finished getting all the Losi manuals and explodes, uh, linkafied ?!
The all have links to search for part number on eBay. In the explodes the parts numbers link and the manual parts lists link to eBay to search for a part number.

Sorry, had to bust out a little Europe. Well, I’ll make one final poll with the top 4 to decide an overall winner. Still haven’t thought of a prize yet, but don’t get your hopes up for...

Hi guys a simple question. Which colour roll bar should I use on my Hot Trick Dog Fighter? Both are Hot Trick, one is gold the other black.
Cheers

Well thanks for all your input guys. I am going black as I don't like the mismatched gold anodizing. I will also probably change the shocks for some Kyosho reds to keep colour coordination.
The gold roll bar has now been put on my freshly built Hot...
Hello all,
I was talking with Avid R/C, and they said they may consider selling some new bearing sizes with rubber seals if there was enough interest. I specifically asked them about 1/4 x 3/8 flanged and 3/16 x 5/16 flanged bearings, used as wheel...
