RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Was just watching this RC documentary: nYrEScetFkU At 6:07 he says he played the Silver Dollar track on VRC-Pro many times. I went looking to see what VRC-Pro is. It's a free RC sim with IFMAR tracks. I have Realflight simulator for Heli's, figured I'd try this, it's free. While it's downloading I f...

For the stuck flywheel, I'm going to use a battery terminal/windshield wiper puller, other RC sites say that's the way to go without scratching the parts, or harming the front bearing. Will be here Wednesday. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/MEDIAX_792452-T1/images/I/61EE-PHnwAL._AC_SL1000_.jpg T...

Back to #1. The new 66T gear, brake disc, and hex adapter for slipper inboard hub. https://i.imgur.com/zMJsEoS.jpg Replaced the old S3003 throttle servo with my last NOS S3003. https://i.imgur.com/kIhGeX4.jpg Spur gear and brake back to new condition. https://i.imgur.com/l7oarlP.jpg https://i.imgur....

Looks great! I like how the ESC is on the bulkhead too.

To me, that's crazy that they used the same model numbers for the Rx, and Servo, even though they have a different pin layout. Any change in design should've been denoted with a model number change, weird stuff. Thanks guys! I would think so as well. But they did change case color, plug color and d...

So are you going yo stay with that Futaba receiver and servo? It all works, has the same wire order in the plugs, etc. I really want to go back to the Airtronics Rx that matches the radio and servo's that I bought with the kit in '96. Hoping to get the pin out right this time. The blue receiver and...

Really appreciate it klavy69 , I'll be sure to keep up on this in the future. Was able to get the servos in, and the new receiver mount installed on #2 this evening. https://i.imgur.com/ZC4Fdij.jpg I have (4) RC's that need the Rx battery pack, I have none left. Will probably go with the era correct...

My Losi Hydra Drive oil came without the box checked regarding the weight. How you know what you have?




Inertia is serious business.

I had not heard of fogging oils, found the Sta-bil.

What's the latest short term storage product, for After Run?

Thanks @klavy69

Just tested the BEC in the Rooster, as juicedcoupe mentioned, and as he said there's no need for any other power source. Thanks for that!! https://i.imgur.com/LCPQ6Oc.jpg That must be what killed my Rx, voltage in the battery port and then the BEC power from the Rooster. Now I need to figure out the...

Received (3) NOS Futaba S3003's for the stock GT, #2 build today. $21 shipped, incredible! https://i.imgur.com/6PDptVJ.jpg Little box dust on these but otherwise fresh as can be. https://i.imgur.com/l6Nrzk6.jpg I was always told to store my nitro cars with After Run in the engine. https://i.imgur.co...

This is the difference in the old vs new Airtronics connector. . Screenshot_20231209-184126.png . Screenshot_20231209-183815.png Much thanks!

Is there a special tool to remove the Tamiya battery connector?

I need to solder the JST adapter to the Rooster plug, for the BEC. Can't figure out how to get that off without ruining anything.

A better pic hopefully, same model number as my current one.




I don't see the blade slot in the blue one. They look the same to me, though not sure why the blue or what that's about.

I had heard that after 2002 Airtronics/Sanwa was very similar to Futaba, wonder if this is a newer Rx.
