Brimod Thermal Charger

Quote

Post by dinglem » Fri Feb 11, 2022 6:09 am

I have been after one of these for several years now - i never even saw one back in the late 80's and i think they are even harder to source than the Brimod shocks... Anyway I have finally managed to locate and buy an absolutely mint example so am pretty chuffed to have expanded the Brimod collection a little

Very cool, never seen one either. Any idea what year they were released?

The adverts introducing the 'new' charger were in the Sept '88 Radio Race Car edition.

I used one of these for many years back in the day - probably my fave charger. Oh so simple.... I recently picked up this pair - one from the legend that is Richard Isherwood. He told me Glyn Peglar had revised the thermal sensor bulb on it to...

On the PC1 the red light comes on when you connect the pack and press the button then the green light comes on when it peaks. I assume the PC3 is the same but haven't tried it.

Anybody remember the Tuna Charger circa 1982? It was the first commercially available temperature sensing charger I can remember. They were made by a racer named Gary Slayton who worked for Panavision in SoCal. Here's a pic of mine, complete with...

Hey I ran across a photo of Gary Slayton. Now I remember his nickname was Gumball , looks like he was a slot car guy from way back.

He's the guy on the far left

I have heard of Brimod shocks - they were pretty exclusive and expensive BITD, and were made just down the road from where I grew up. This evening I picked up a huge stash of cars and spares,including my old CAT XL which I sold off in the early...

Yes please do - very interested in finding out more about this.

I have posted these up on a few FB pages over the last couple of days, but thought I would add them on here as there have been a few posts about Brimods over the recent years. One mentioned how hard it was to add the cap O-ring seal without it...

As some of you might have already noticed, I am a bit of a fan of a small British manufacturer by the name of Brimod - their premises being located about a 15minute drive from where i grew up.

In the late 1980's Brimod shocks were known as the best...

Glad you like it. It isn't quite finished yet, still waiting on the arrival of another large Novak sticker for the other side, plus learning from the Hybrid entry, this one will have electrics too. I have the original Nosram esc complete with Brimod...

Does anyone know if these might be available anywhere?
I purchased an RC10 car recently that has 4 Brimod shocks on it that have been anodized red apparently, but the shocks are in dire need of a rebuild kit to replace the metal and black rubber...

if you can figure out the sizes, you can probably pick up orings at a specialty hardware place, like mcmaster-carr, etc.

other than the standard oring, what type of rebuild parts do you need? some pics or dimensions will help figure out what might...
