1989

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?

[THEYTOOKMYTHUMB]

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?

[scr8p]

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?

[scr8p]

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.

[Charlie don't surf]

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

[scr8p]

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.
