Here is a no stamp chassis…slightly thicker @ 1.67mm.

Received a Dahm’s Avenger 2000 van body today. I collect Dahm’s and van bodies, so this was a double score.

Rx looks like a Futaba RP-104H which is J plug…it was standard with the FP-3PG radio.

The esc in the movie car is a Futaba MC11B (G plug)/MC111B (J plug)…note the 3 adjustment pots instead of 2 on the MC112B. The MC11B/111B is rated at 130A continuous vs 100A of the MC12B/112B, so it was better choice for 7 cells and a modified motor.

I did a cosmetic cleanup on this oddball Trinity #2020 Reverse Rotation Monster Horsepower motor. Removed the caps and cleaned off excess solder & flux while trying to preserve the original label. It also had a pressed on brass gear that I had to cut off with the Dremel. Before - https://i.posti...

#5607? ..so now we’re up to a run of probably 6000..that’s a lot! I thought I read somewhere that the Classic Clear had 2500 produced?

Cool! Are the shocks gunmetal? ..can’t tell..

That is the first race grade RC vehicle we owned. It was by younger brother's, he still has it.

Now, doesn't it technically need the retrofit XX Transmission to be a Pro SE ?

The ProSE initially came with the LRM transmission w/slipper. Retrofit & Hydra-Drive came later..

Nice collection! Now you need a Black Edition, my favorite, which Tamiya is re-releasing soon.

Tamiya Tracks..

After the Classic Clear, we now have this 40th anniversary kit.

Just put on a set of the Marwan reproduction W5031 square block tires.

I received a nice lot of 8 Tecnacraft turnbuckles in 1 3/16” & 1 7/16” lengths for a great price. https://i.postimg.cc/nMbp2kHs/9-C1160-A4-C208-4-B7-A-8513-7836-B2917-BE6.jpg And two pairs of the Marwan reproduction Kyosho W-5031 square block tires. These look, feel and smell great! ..Also recei...
