Not quite the post... a local pickup win off eBay. Cool, and very cheap, box of junk:
A real hodge-podge of mixed parts, from heaps of wheels and tyres, to Frog and Fox gears and bits, to a couple of sets of Porsche 959 headlights.... a trio of usable receivers from Futaba and AE, a Tamiya TLU LED light unit (WITH POWER PLUG!!!), a brand new LiPo buzzer...... and even a complete old model Pajero spare tyre sprue.
Definitely happy for the price

A couple more Yokomo kits to put with my YR4m2. Thanks Jeremy!

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
A whole mess of stuff from Grainger. I actually got more than that but the rest isn't hobby related. I should be good on wing and nose tubes for a while.

Fresh off the boat.
I received that exact same Lightly Tuned Tamiya brushed motor in a parts lot including the F-Bomb WLToys 144001 project car I'm working on for my daughter. 28T...what might be suitable applications for this motor? Any 1:10 buggy you want to go quite slow? A crawler perhaps?

I already knew that it was slow-ish to begin with. That didn't really bother me as this vehicle rarely gets used.
But its going into my semi-restored Stadium Blitzer, it deserves a Tamiya motor. It has a Futaba MC 112B esc in it, so I am limited in motor selection. I'll switch to the larger pinion option, but that will be about it.
It previously had a Kyosho 34° Super Stock in it but it is going into my 2014 Beetle.

Thanks, let me know what you think of it when you put it in your Blitzer. I'm not sure what use I'll have for mine, it came in a lot with 3 other brushless and 1 other brushed motor. I assume it runs a tad better than a stock Mabuchi, with better quality in general...plus being rebuildable and having adjustable timing.

From what I've read, it is supposed to be a rebuildable replacement for the silver car. Supposed to have about the same top speed but better torque.
As it comes, the timing is locked. But the modification is simple.

I've been digging, doing some research, tapping into the past. On my journey I've Found some very interesting early posts by a lot of currant members here in the archives. Very interesting stuff! I encourage newer members to do the same, as the old...

Nope. I'm not clicking on any links in this thread because I know one of them is going to be Farmer's pic. :P
None of them were about that picture.
But now one of them refers to it.
But seeing how often it is mentioned in this thread, it sure...
This seems to be a hugely popular thread on another forum out there, so let's see how it do here?!?
Simple, what did you do RC wise today? Pics or it didn't happen! Painted a body, rewired a ESC, mounted some wheels, finished a 3-year project...

Yesterday did a lot of practice and tuning on my AE B6.4 and Schumacher L1R. Finally getting comfortable again with indoor carpet and getting used to the L1R which is still a new platform for me.

Big jumps and take some pictures of cars in action :D Looks amazing, I'd love a garden!
Thanks to Hoopty for the design, and Mrlexan for the production. They look great. And Thanks again Jay for the body and wing to put them on, can't wait to get 'em dirty. :D

The seller even included a free gift of 4 bearings. Wow, can't wait for my tires to show up too (same as what's in the pic here).
Got a bunch of stuff now, including the RC Channel rear metal kit, SRB alloy chassis and nose. Just need the RC4wd...

since there is no rc4wd local distributor here in our place, they didnt ship here without approval, wasted a lot of good stuff from them (we need to order in a long process)
There's a local track I've been wanting to check out, Sparks Park. I think it's the only one on my side of town. We watched a little practice yesterday and made a point of stopping today to see some racing. This was the first race for both me and my...

In my experience, 25 heats is about average. I just moved from southern CA to the Kansas city area and noted that the tracks in CA seem to be more super cross like than here in KS. Before I got my RC10 Classic, I raced modern 2wd buggies along side...
