I got this from Jeff Harris earlier this year when he sold off old gear from a hobby store that closed. I used it in my gold metal shelfer build along with the Tekin 411-G2 ESC

I loved that radio!! Fantastic find indeed. Might need to dig mine out to see if it still works.

Got to love the hobby shop name... SLO Hobbies.

The radio looks awesome, What a find!! Imagine the prices today...

Great Radio - an awesome piece of kit.

That radio is probably the single most "lusted" after radio that I have ever wanted. I wanted one so bad back in the day. Every time I see one now, it brings back those strong feelings of desire to own one.

Hang onto it - its a treasure!

The radio kicked butt in the cars but really shined in the boats. The ability to add torque steer, the kill switch feature and the third channel for a trim tab was killer.

Thanks guys! Yep, it just sits on the shelf, but it's so nice to hold. I have bought (and since sold) some beat versions on ebay and the forums and it actually hurt my memories of this great radio. Luckily I have this minty fresh one to remind me of what it really was like when new!

I love mine!! Pretty darned old, well used and still my favorite gear. Think I might have to get it out and charge up some batteries and take something out for a drive.

I remember the day I bought mine (new) from the store. As I was driving home, I pulled over just so I can play with the radio...and it had that "new radio smell" It's the only radio I've used ever since. Throughout the years, I've been lucky to pick up about 4-5 in total.

When I race my RC10 in mod buggy, this is the radio I use- digital steering servo though and it works as good as my 4pk-

I recieved I with a clod I bought about a year ago, l knew it was something cool when I pulled it out of the box but have yet to use it. This thread will be motivation to get it out.

I always wanted one as well but they were way out of my price range. Heck, thought I was king when I got the Magnum Jr and that was still pushing it price wise.

I've got one of those in really nice shape...but I've always been intimidated by all of the buttons and knobs.

I bought and used two of these "back in the day" when I was racing 1/12th and 1/10th scale on road. Absolutely GREAT radio. The electronic adjustments made it really easy to set up a car and change to fine tune to a different track. I still have them both, receivers and some servos. They both still work great. I would never get rid of them.

Still use mine as my main transmitter.
