Re: Tamiya "Turbo" Frog

I modified the rear end to put the rear arms on bearings, and the diff has the screw mod. Main weak ar...

Re: Tamiya #53122 Acto Power Motor
You could make a motor flag. A brass rod with a steel square on it. You insert it instead of the rotor and the flag should point to the center of the magnets. The magnets don't just lose magnetism, they lose center too. Would give you a feel for how strong they are. If you were in the UK, you could ...

Re: Demon motor thread - no others please
Yep, and I was GUTTED. I think the bakerlite core had gone brittle. The moment the cutter touched, it went bang.

If anyone happens to have a 12x5 armature so i can put that back to how it should be, let me know. It currently had a random 17 single in it and that situation distressed me

Re: Project Hyper Hornet
Liking this!
As you can see from my grasshopper post, I'm all for trans swaps in this chassis!
Get rid of the awful front end too, even of its just with crp double wishbone parts.

Re: Tamiya grasshopper, for the track!
Would really like a lexan grasshopper body for this.
I like the way the hard body braces the tub, but the rear wing section is fragile.
Was it parma that used to make one?
Not seen one for sale for a long time though.

Re: Tamiya grasshopper, for the track!
Its first track outing was a huge success. It's far greater than the sum of its parts. Handles great, jumps great, it's amazing! A friend took this photo at the track. https://i.postimg.cc/nV4tP9Jf/FB-IMG-1673958037242.jpg Once the steering had been dialed in, it's very placable and stable, easy to ...
