Got the parts in. https://i.imgur.com/w6REyvQ.jpg Arduino SS Micro. https://i.imgur.com/RvInJaM.jpg Could've used just the Arduino board, and a male to male servo extension cut in half, to supply the board with the two necessary channels; but I want to make a 3 channel capable controller, so I can m...

Had to put #2's, 10e carb, in the oven to get it hot enough to remove the rotary slide, 300F for 20 minutes did the trick. It's slick as can be now. Problem solved. Got the M2.5 cap bolt set today, with (1) M2.5 x 16, the red head went back on #2 engine with no problems, tight as can be. Stripped ca...

_VUxqGbj0KM Even though I put the wires in backwards on the motor, like Frankentruck mentioned this Rooster would have needed to be reversed to make it work right, so it goes in the correct direction currently with the wires backwards :lol: . Was surprised to see it goes as fast in reverse as it do...

You could also reverse channel 2 on your radio. Some ESCs need that done. No big deal. If you reverse the channel and it runs correct, then you're good. Forward should be on command, and I think there should be pause before reverse can be commanded. That's an excellent idea, will definitely look in...

The new Rx is working well, so is the new servo. https://i.imgur.com/JZfUNzm.jpg But I hooked up the blue and yellow wire backwards on the motor :roll:, when I plugged it in for the first time the motor was wide open. No harm, but now I need to redo the motor wires. Have a RC plug kit coming, might ...

Those are generic bullet terminals, from the auto parts store. It would have originally came with this type. They are open barrel type terminals (require the correct type of crimper) and have silicone sheaths. Screenshot_20231215_160806_Samsung Internet.jpg The terminals themselves are cheap and ea...

The pile has landed.








Time to see if any of it works . The wrapper is still on the Rx I was looking for, and the servo connected looks NOS too.

Nice work juicedcoupe ! Those Amazon caps did have some seriously short leads, nearly too short. I think I got it though. https://i.imgur.com/DqpBpPB.jpg The bullet connectors that come with the Rooster aren't a very clean look, but I left them that way for era correctness. The new Rx should be here...

According to the Rooster manual, I'm supposed to use (3) 0.1uF caps. https://i.imgur.com/hrKMmc7.jpg I have (2) of the caps setup from + to -, but I can't see a third ground tab like in the manual. https://i.imgur.com/xTvqqn7.jpg Does anyone know where the third cap would go on a stock motor? EDIT: ...

Cut new neoprene battery pack cushions, and mounted them. https://i.imgur.com/OakM00H.jpg #2 was missing a front bumper, and that's about all. https://i.imgur.com/OKI2xmo.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VyIu32a.jpg New SR3000 Rx going in #1. https://i.imgur.com/Ae5WDEl.jpg Another SR3000 Rx will be here for...

Your welcome :lol: :!: Big thanks to RC10th for the heads up on DSM modules, from this thread: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=48851 - was about to go with another FM 75Mhz RF module, and he talked some sense in to me. Wrestled with the idea of the DSM module being from '04, and not '97, b...

Turns out you can DIY/make the USB to Rx adapter for using your favorite Tx on a PC, that will work with any game/racing sim for PC, including VRC-Pro. oSYgT6n2bj0 The Arduino SS Micro can be had for $10. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXXBDB63 This looks like a fun project with a useful purpose. Doing...

Got the Spektrum DSM module. Removed the FM antenna and RF module. https://i.imgur.com/HmylCYm.jpg Peeling the label wrapper off, completely NOS. https://i.imgur.com/MgAYfhL.jpg But then the Tx module would not go in bind mode. I started to worry I bought a broken one. Read the Spektrum Manual, and ...

Can't believe someone out there is making the specific, RC10gt box art decal sheet, so stoked. The seller sent me a nice email, letting me know he's in Canada and it could be a couple of weeks until the sheet gets here. Ahh... the moment when the internet shows you exactly what you want... with a &...

The radio gear should be here today, waiting on a Futaba RF Module, the Spektrum SM1000 and a SR3000 Rx, circa 2004 NOS. While not exactly era correct for a '97 RC10gt, it's as close to the era without running crystals, done with those things. Seller's pics. https://i.imgur.com/Af35n4s.png This RF m...
