Yeah the super rooster is all that I've ever used. Wish I would have held onto a few more...

Might build up another clod, but limited with electronics and chassis now....

You can still find Super Roosters on eBay but the price is always going up and they are likely to be used.

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

I ended up picking up the one everybody recommended... I have an old pair of Speed works Monster mash motors that I may use. A less modified old school truck perhaps.

I use to have more motors, but lost some stuff when my basement flooded.

Hi everyone,

Need some help. I have recently found my old RC cars at my parents and have fully refurbished the first one from early -90s. The car is a electric raider outlaw.

After replacement of mechanical parts and a new 7.2V 3000mah battery it...

Last post

Even a good vintage ESC can be had pretty cheaply these days. On my old Raider I ran a Futaba MC112B. I just picked up a vintage one that looks like it was never used, for like $25. The nice thing about this ESC, is it mounts just like a servo,...

Can anyone tell me if the Novak 1 came with heat sinks please? The kind that slip on over the ones molded in the case?

Last post

Heat sinks were an optional part - not needed for 12th scale but needed for 10th off road. Two (black) heat sinks - one longer one for most of the FETs, a smaller one for the single brake FET on the right.

Just got this gem in the mail today. Popped off the wiring cover and discovered this:

And we've been wasting money on speed controls. You could have just hooked the motor straight to the receiver like this!
Can't imagine this worked too well......

Last post

Ummm.....no you can't do that! The white wire is a pulse. Black and red are power and ground. You don't have anything there to control power with. The esc is not just an amplifier, it processes the signal.

Wish I read this earlier. I spent hours...

How hot a motor you guys think I can run on that esc that comes in alot of the re-re kits before it lets the smoke out?

Last post

ive seen people running the 19t trinity komodo conservativley geared. i ran it with my hotshot re-re for a while with the 17t pinion and it worked just fine. didnt get too hot on me, neither the motor or esc.

I have an old Novak 4 (not a T4) speed control that is mint that I wanna put in my old Hot Trick car... I don't recall the specs on it.. How many turns can I go down to safely??

Frank

Last post

good points. Thank you sir..

If you are gonna run old batteries like 1200's or 1400's and maybe 1700's a 16 turn should be fine, but if you are going to use newer batteries with 3000+ mah only use a stock motor cuz it'll get quite hot after...

I recently acquired a used and rather abused Novak t4 speed control. It came free with my car because the seller didn't know if it worked or not. So I tested it with my multimeter to find that it has a short circuit inside of it. The short is...

sounds like alot of work for little gain......
my thoughts exactly. novak t4's, if you really want one, are plentiful on ebay for next to nothing.

if you really want a brushed esc, since most people go the brushless route these days, you can get...

How many ever ran one one or even heard of one? I had it in my Hot trick Frog back in the 80's. Still works too (I think) lol. Made in the USA too

Last post

I still have a 500 (no brake). I took it apart to try and add brakes, but never did. Ran great for an inexpensive basher back then.
