Some update (almost there!):
- I need a shorty battery
- I need a soldering iron to install the original motor that I still need to clean (surface rust)
- the right rear wheel is locked, I need to check the transmission, never seen this before
- I need to acquire a Protech I body and paint it!

So I found this while doing another deal. Guy wanted a crawler so I traded him a fully built TRX4 sport. Actually ended up with another truck (the red humvee) and an extra esp z4 chassis and wheels/tires too.

All I knew about it was that it was a clodbuster and it had alot of aluminum parts.

And now you know you have a month or two of mortgage/rent if you ever need it.

Found this YZ10 last week,the owner bought it as a kit in '94,ran it four times on asphalt and shelved it.
The tires were dry rotted and one shock was slightly leaky.
I couldn't get over how original it was,all of the kit screws are there,no rounded...

OK, so not quite a barn find, but giving the condition it is in, I felt the title was appropriate!

I've owned this Madcap since new - I'm not sure of the year - but it was a Christmas present from my parents sometime in the early Nineties. After...

I also found my old fast charger - I remember saving up hard for this bad boy - originally I only had one battery and the slow charger, so I was limited to about one run a day!
Can these old nicad units charge nimh batteries? If not, what is my best...

Well finally found a suitable belt for the pulleys Powge S3M516, so 516 teeth.
Looks a bit silly as its only 3mm wide but sourcing a wider one from Xray hopefully.

Also sorted out the CVD's
Found an easier solution for the rocky, ran the 3racing...

Hi all,

Half of the fun of these finds is the story

A friend of mine overheard a conversation regarding old RC cars and chimed in that he has something at home that's collecting dust.

Well what he had, was this piece of history!

It came with a...
