So, in 89' what was period correct for batteries? motor? and electronics? and what about rear wings? and when did Tecnacraft stop making the gold turnbuckles and axles?

Magnum Jr and whatever rx and servo came with it. I think a Trinity Monster Horsepower stocker. If Quarterflash was out(which I think it was) I would definitely go that route. If mod is what you’re looking for, then Team Checkpoint or bust. And probably a Novak T-4. I’m not familiar with what Tekins might have been available. Although Futaba had a 5610 esc or something like that. I ran it in my Hornet! SCR 1200mah or SCE 1400mah I think. Or an Avenger pack! I haveone if you need it!

I am confused by the batteries--maybe a nice Reedy mod will come my way! And I am thinking Novak 4, NES rec'r and the Novak servo

Great Jay, you got any thing else? sanyo or tecnacraft?

for sanyos, you'd be looking at the 1700sce's and probably the 1200scr's.

Ok, Masami's 89' car had TR-31's on the rear--this wasn't a US frequently used tire was it? I was thinking more like a 2.0 x pattern was more common-I have both and was planing on using rear Yoke adapters and 2.0 wheels with the Losi meats

i believe the '89 worlds is where those tires first showed up, which is why there was such a big conspiracy because none of the other teams had them.

So any one else familiar with the tecnacraft timelines?

the only gold axles i remember tecnacraft making, for the rc10 anyway, were the offset ones with the e-clip. so i'd have to say you be looking in the 1988 range.

think they made the rear stub axles too.

Yes, they made the rears ( I have those ) and I think drive bones? Thanks for the date on the fronts--I was hoping for inlines

they might have made inline axles, i just can't say that i've seen them. atleast ONE of the tecna whores on this site has to have a catalog to find out for sure.

I only have some turnbuckles and wings but no wheels, I posted this a long while ago in the scans section. 1989 catalog: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8449&hilit=tecnacraft+catalog
and I think I do have a set of the front axles also. Here's a pic.
