Thank you for all the info and taking the time to explain it to me Joseph. I'm not 100% set on having him use the vintage one, but I have several, probably 6-8 rollers I got over the years when I saw a good deal. I have lots of back up parts as well. I was looking it as a project we could work on together.....like I want him to build it all, know how it goes together and comes apart so when something breaks he can replace it. The RTR ones now take out that whole level of enjoyment, to me anyway.
I want to see if he really enjoys it so then I would rebuild my A stamp and the B5M that I have as well....that one I need to get some quality stuff for.
I have been contemplating electronics (brushless) for my new / vintage RC10 Worlds that is on its way to me. I want to modernize it and I have been lurking on this forum for a while and have seen some good options for a lot of things. However, I am...

oh, i was figuring off a 2.25 stealth, i didn't realize that you are running a 2.65.
OK, so I dont really know anything about the quality of older electronics and hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. So this is what I have:
Servo:
-Futuba FP.S148 x3..........they arent that strong but im not racing so these...

Just a though, If i treated the numbers like a brushless, the 25k rpm over what is likely 7.2 V puts the motor a little over 3500KV rating which is about 11 turns. I'm trying to find out if the motor is or isnt 11 turns b/c i'd really prefer reverse...
Hey guys. I'm getting an Ultima together and i'm getting down to electronics. I have an old Novak unit and some old futaba magnum Jrs i'm planning to use, but I have no idea what kind of servo would be appropriate for this era of car... from what...

I've got one of those old Aristocraft Challenger radio's with the matching receiver and 2 servo's all with 'those goofy big white plugs' 8) Think there's any interests in that or is it scrap?
I have the same setup I think, Challenger 2PX? It says...
i picked up a novak t-1 esc and a novak ner-2s receiver on ebay yesterday. they're both new in package. for the two of them, it was just over $45. i don't think the price was too bad. what do ya think?

they're yours if you want them, mel. i'll let you know when they show up.
I found these on a treasure hunt today and I'm pretty stoked. All but the FM XXL are sealed in factory packaging. The one that is open is brand new but not sealed anymore.

Yes very poor form indeed. I guess what I meant to ask is are these rare or interesting? Im new and started a build thread then got deployed so I haven't had time to post or use the system much.
What makes them rare and interesting is that they...
Hi guys, I'm rebuilding a Losi XX over in the Losi forum, but would like to tap into the wider expertise and experience of this board to ask you for any information you may have on the following:
On the ESCs, I have one Mtronics Viper Dash which...

Thanks for the info guys, and for the articles Jirka
I've been assembling a collection of vintage radio gear so I can start outfitting my buggies. This set up is slated for my 6016 buggy. First is my Novak 2H high powered servo which came out in 1983.
Next is my 1X ESC which was the top of Novak’s...

I had no problems swapping my NES1A from JR to G, it's fiddly, but with a good iron, steady hand, good light and magnification not a big deal.
