Actually runs real good! anybody there see u run it? i still cant get over the fear of people seeing me run my rc's....not sure why i care but i do....i usually run and hide if i see someone coming I can't really explain it either, but I feel the same way. Something to do with a funny looking, bear...

Looks like a great start! Minus the motor, those exact electronics are straight out of my childhood memories.

OMG! Thank you, thank you, for sharing that. That was a seriously awesome video! Hey Matt, check this out... Adjust the time slider to 2:30 and take a look at his Hilux shelf queen collection. I think you'll agree, his paint work is absolutely jaw dropping!! The soundtrack ain't half bad either. ht...

YES!!! I keep a handful handy at all times. Plus I have a Tupperware full of them in case I wear one out and need another. Side note, I used one to adjust the headlights on my SuperDuty when I didn't have anything else that fit the funky little bolt head.

That looks so fun! If we lived closer, I'd totally come over and race!!

This is such a cool "little" project. What is that multi-function unit from? I have no need for one, but it seems like a very handy device to have on hand, just in case a project arises.

Edit: Just re-read and saw that its a Heng Long combo ESC/RX.

I noticed a minor variation yesterday while rebuilding a couple LRM transmissions: there are two styles of pressed on, brass top gears. One is a straight sided gear, while the other has a bevel at the inner diameter.

Waaaay over here, I haven't heard anything about Oregon. That's very upsetting in many ways. I hope your move goes well and smooth. But, my biggest question is: when can we see a new, sweet hobby room?

That looks like a fun day! Shame you weren't able to race.

Now that's cool!

A Sharpie?? As in a pen/marker? Can you elaborate on this process?

Well done! Another historical RC preserved.
