My wife wants to know how long she will have to deal with me......



Just kidding... that sounds like a great plan! No more having to sort thru the Losi posts in the non-RC10 section to find something interesting.

They were the same as the Hornet shocks from Tamiya. You can find "Hornet shocks" on eBay -- set of 2 and parts about $13 (TH19) and then you will need the Hornet D tree for the plastic bits to mount them. There were aftermarket ones as well (CRP, Parma, etc) but they are sought-after and ...

An inexpensive (relatively!) alternative that works with 1-6 cell lipos that have a balancer plug:

The nice thing about this one is you can use it for your plane batteries as well!

Hmmmm... buy, sell or trade? Can I give away? ;) I have a bunch of old batteries. I can get pics, but this is what I am about to recycle: (3) Leisure 1200mAh 6 cell hump packs - in the bright yellow shrink wrap 2 have cuts next to the hump to allow them to fit in Hornets if I remember correctly.

The kits released overseas often do NOT have one. For some reason they feel the rest of the world needs an ESC but they do not. Perhaps their breakfast cereals come with a TEU101-BK as a prize???

If Losi is your thing, then it looks like you did well. Those are two very decent examples. It looks like someone took pretty good care of their stuff. I think the gold rears look like Option House (Kyosho) bits, but I'm not sure. Personally, I look at those and see 2 more runners, but have fun with...

Freddy- do we want to know what the other two reasons are??

My track will have a mini-bar at each pit station..... Cmon Powerball!!

what first came to my mind was this Death Row Records pic...R/C gangstas for life :P I guess I'm old since Queen pops in my head before Death Row. :roll: And Jay, I think Kinwald runs for a couple companies.... he may even be in charge??? I'll try to get some more info for you. :lol: Edit: Ahhhh, s...

Did anyone else start humming Bohemian Rhapsody when they saw that pic of Pavidis, Johnson & Losi?

Just contact him through his website (aconsola listed it above)-- either email or call. They were quick to reply and I think it was about $8 a strap, but don't hold me to that.

Wow- before the VONATs I was looking at my frayed PureTech strap in my gold pan. After a late night search I also contacted Dwayne after finding his current website. Same deal, just via email contact, and I had 3 spare straps in my parts box for my RC10.... :lol: He even managed to scrape up a coupl...

Does there appear to be a single cross-mounted shock just below the wing? I may be seeing pixels that aren't there!

Did we scare Matt off?
We were just kidding mate!

Hard to tell, but I'm going with either an Xray or Tamiya Vanish??

Thanks for posting those. Everyone has added some cool pics... I need to get mine uploaded!

BTW Brandon... I almost fell off my chair laughing so hard at the 1st pic.... carpet oval racer???? How'd that do at the VONATs?
