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.

This kit was no joke, not sure how someone could install this between races, it was very involved... Don't know anyone did, was more of an install-at-home thing. Tuning it was nearly as difficult. Something regular slipper clutches had over it, quicker/easier adjustments. Multiple 'Drives with thei...

Nicely done and documented 8) Thanks MarkyDents ! I looked all over the web to see if there was another Losi A-3139 RC10 kit installation thread, wanted to see what this was all about. Just the name Hydra-Drive had me wondering what this could be and do, had to find out for myself. Turns out it's n...

The eBay seller in Germany never got back to me about the Spektrum SPM1012 kit, with the SM1001 and SR3001. But I found the earlier version though, which is closer to era correct for the USA-1 NC, and GT. Seller's pics, these are on the way - still has the plate wrappers: https://i.imgur.com/Af35n4s...

On the left is the .12 CV that will go on the stock-build GT, on the right is a slightly older .12 CZ, which will go back on the GT I bought it with in '97. https://i.imgur.com/IUoy0K4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/95ln6Wk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ssPyoIR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ixRcyJR.jpg Cleaned and rea...

Delima... They're exceedingly cool and your gut instinct was to buy and install a new one... given the package is damaged it likely wouldn't be a consideration for a NIP parts collection so, if no one asks if they can buy it from you, I say use it. A new kit beats the can of worms of piecing togeth...

I think I have everything to get the engine and brake back together on #1.

Time to get the electronics figured out. Everything I have for the RC10. https://i.imgur.com/oewqaaB.jpg Pack on the left is having the shrink wrap let go. https://i.imgur.com/AaWWUJn.jpg Might as well unwrap that pack. https://i.imgur.com/wVN9Rt7.jpg Got the Rx and ESC in. https://i.imgur.com/tqjHQ...

There are many more 75MHz frequencies available than 27MHz, which I think there are only six frequencies in the USA. Regarding your TX module switching from 27 to 75MHz, I'm not sure that's possible. But I'd like to know too because I have a PCM1024 FM Futaba that has the module. But I was always u...

I'm missing an era correct Tx/Rx for a recent RC10gt build. But I have a Futaba 3PJ Super from the late 90's, the manual says it has an (8) model memory. The FM/PCM has a failsafe/throttle cut, so I bought this with a Kyosho USA-1 Nitro Crusher, back then. https://i.imgur.com/YBxbUmN.jpg Didn't noti...

Excellent options, thanks!

I have (4) RC's that need new Rx battery packs. Is there a better alternative to this type, these days?


Thanks.

Should've posted this in vintage electronics, instead.
