Re: Futaba Magnum Jr help
Awesome! Sorry for the delay in pics. I was so frustrated the other day that I did not want to deal with it. I will take the pics this afternoon when I get home from work. It does seem like simple soldering, however, when i try to strip the wire back to expose the actual wire, it just breaks off. Th...

Old, leaking batteries corroded the terminals terribly on my Futaba Magnum JR. I pulled the body apart and everything looks ok but both wires broke from the terminal where they connect to the small "pill" with the terminals. Anyone have experience with this and am I barking up the wrong tr...

Re: Caught the fever
Should I attempt to build and race this chassis or should I shelf it and buy another roller chassis to work on? There is "some" sentimental value but I raced it back in the day and it seems exciting to think about resurrecting it. I'm sure some of you have had this dilemma. Lets face it, t...

Re: My Gold Pan RC10 buggy and I need help
The Castle 4600 is a potent set up, and I would go lipo if you brushless. Look for a Novak/LRP/Tekin sensored set up, anything from a 17.5 to 10.5 (the lower the faster). You will need to adjust your gearing depending upon which motor you go with. Spend the few extra dollars and snag a good servo t...

Caught the fever
Broke down and watched a local RC race and caught the fever again. After about 22 years of doing without, I went straight to my closet and pulled out the ol' RC10 and started dreaming. I've read alot already that you guys have posted and i'm like a massive yet low quality sponge. I'll catch up quick...
