Thanks for sharing Jeff, another golden era icon lost

So sorry to hear it. His build tips for the RC10 were amazing. I am wishing his family the best

I got this manual with a new built TQ10 I recently purchased, it also came with some cool Reedy documents,
I'll scan those later on. Enjoy guys! (by the way, are the scans still slowly disappearing? That sucks!!!)

Looks like I will be taking the 6 gear apart for deburring session.

I recently acquired a ton of old R/C magazines and I found this very intersting article where Jay and Jim Halsey are interviewed. Nice details about how they started in R/C, what they did before, some tips and some very interesting pictures too 8)...

Last post

This is a great post for the scan library, now we can come up with a more perfect repro of the Halsey championship car after reading this article. Super post David hope to see more of this stuff soon.

Thanks guys for the b-day wishes, I'm in good company and sounds like Jim had a real fun man's party, can't remember the last time I stayed up until 4 AM. Now getting up at 4 or earlier is another story. :lol: :D

I have had this book for around 8 yrs.

Mr Lone Star (Paul) seems to like this book since he asked if I had a copy.

I have read it over & over again and has every answer you could think of to do with brushed motors including stock motors & silver...

Last post

95% of it is in the pdf... the rest is about secret alignement tricks and comm diameter... 8)

Would still love to see a scan though! Who's gonna be the next rc10talk hero after IncredibleSerious and all his Schum scans??? Thanks again Alex!!! :)...

Damn maybe there is something more lucritive to repro than bodies. I have a couple copies of this book somewhere.

Last post

for electric motors, its a decent guide for maintence and such.. most of the info is super redundant, and alot of it you will never use in a million years.

rctech.net has it reposted their with all the extra repetitive stuff pulled out for free.

I saw that motor on eBay a while back and made a post in the Facebook brushed motor heaven group. Nobody was able to add any valuable input. I've never heard of Malung, and it's strange that Jim would use an off-brand like that.

Very cool anecdote on a rare car from an rc icon

Last post

Okay, I see. I prefer to stay away from facebook; not a fan. When I get some time, I'll post some pictures of Jim's old Dominator. It's unchanged since I bought it so maybe he will recognize it.
