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

I was thinking an SCT of some sort, too. They have a large body that covers all the sensitive equipment (and sharp edges), they are easily tune-able and most are quite robust. Plus, cheap ones are all over the place. Nothing vintage about them at all, but they seem to fit the rest of the requirements.

Thank you to everyone! This forum is my go to for almost all my RC inquiries. I'm glad I stumbled in here!

Looks good, thanks for sharing!

Wow, that cleaned up beautifully! I'm not familiar with the Salute. Other than the body, how does it differ from the Optima?

I have a "fake" Revolution motor in a Jrx2, purely for my own visual appreciation from a distance. :lol: IMO, I wouldn't use either of these motors as a donor. There are so many unlabeled brushed motors floating around eBay and FB, that surely you can find a cheap donor there. I know nothi...

I'm very curious to see how this will develop. Very cool project!

Well done! The printed parts and chassis repair look spectacular!

Horizon made a nice Jrx-2 shirt. Its still available on their site, but only in small, 2x and 4x. Link to the small: https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/jrx2-vintage-t-shirt-small/LOSP022S.html

I know the feeling. But on a happier note, your car looks and launches great! Well done!

Pretty cool. I'm looking forward to what you have in store!

I've found NOS foam donuts around, but its rare. Often I will buy used, pre-mounted wheels/tires from other racers at my local tracks. I run my foams much longer than the typical racer, usually till the plastic of the wheel just starts to show. I'm thrifty like that, though.

Don't think I've ever heard that before.

Welcome to the forum!

How do you like those servos? I just ordered a couple because of their torque specs and waterproof-ness.
