Hey Guys, A few years ago, there was an article in the forums here about how early ESC's were made with some components of a servo. I believe it was Tamiyadan that did the original thread? Anyway I have a project in front of me that I would like to build a "replica" of one of those early E...

My guess as to the cause of this, would be an incompetent user, coupled with an intolerant technology and poor engineering and quality control of the power system. That being said, from my R/C Li-Poly flying experience, even when using the best cells (korea made), the best charging equipment ( Germ...

Ok so the year is 1991, and you are racing the same gold pan you have had for years. You already drilled your chassis and swapped in a stealth trans, you put the long arms up front and all those goodies. Good motor, novak electronics.....what would have been the hot wheels of the day?

I was thinking kydex as well for an option. Have you ever hot formed dimples in it for the countersunk screws?

I was looking for something like that as well. I think I will just mold up my own out of either CF or aluminum...havent decided yet.

Yeah thats what I used, still have the original 50 yard spool I bought.

Ya ya I know, but the reality of it is that I want to toss this down and run a few laps with my kiddos and not have to break out the soldering iron. I just picked up some NOS race preps on the bay ( for cheap ), so I am going that route I think. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Race-Prep-Pro-2-Connectors-72...

Yes yes on to that battery pack! Did you find any braid yet?

I did not race this one. I started in 95 myself so this is a couple years before me.

Hey Guys, Finishing up a "runner" goldpan rebuild. The car was last raced in 1990 or 1991 so I am putting it back into that configuration. Though I know hardwiring was popular, for practicality I am going to use battery connectors. Trying to decide between Anderson and Race Prep pro2. Whic...

Boy isn't that the truth. I have always considered traxxas the "boy among men"

My $50 gold pan. Didn't think I did too bad considering the stealth, Novak T-4 and Novak Receiver. Someone put a lot of holes in the chassis! Looks like it was raced and not bashed as there is not a scratch on the underside and nothing is stripped or beat up. Kind of a weird combo, looks like it was...

I too love that idea. I thought I freaked them out enough when I pulled the antenna out of my radio and its not 4" long........ "Pardon me while I.......whip this out"
