These are the ones that I remember. Just Futaba equipment with Tower stickers.

But I think these might be a little newer.

Can two polls run concurrently in the same thread?

In addition to the BOTM, can a second poll run for the three Hotshots?

They've been talking about it for weeks. I didn't think that any of them would ask, so I did.

Because 4.8-6 volts are still commonly used in BEC'S. NIMH receiver packs are still used as well.

Servos made for high voltage typically have those ratings as well.

Good job ! Did you tap the holes with imperial thread ?

Yes I did. But I had to be creative since imperial taps are very rare on my side of the world.

Since nothing is really rare over here, it just means that you need twice as many tools.

Finally got my rig up and running, sorta. My power supply did not like the inrush current demand of the 15T Trinity, so I grabbed a 6 cell pack that still had a little juice in it. I made a mounting plate from 1/8" lexan and put 3M pads on it, stays perfectly still. When I wired the speed contr...

I'd be careful with the gearing. For off-road applications, that esc only looks to be rated down to 13.5 turns.

I think that they used a 3/8" OD bearing, which is ~9.5mm.

Depending on the wheels, you "might" be able to open them up to 10mm. I don't know about bearing availability.

Or you might can try a piece of 3/8 to 5/16 shim bushing material. 8mm and 5/16 are nearly identical.

I found this, a Andy's RC10 with short arms. The angles aren't great but you can see them decently.

Since you intend on running it, be sure to rehydrate the nylon. Old AE nylon gets pretty brittle. And I'd go ahead and replace the bellcranks. The original setup wasn't great when new, and it won't be any better after 30+ years. There are still several options available or you can probably 3D print ...

As for chick singers, I've been on a bit of a Cranberries revival lately. There are a million covers of this, including a killer version by a metal band I can't think of the name of. The original is still the best though. edit: Bad Wolves is the band... She was supposed to be involved in the Bad Wo...

I was referring to the diameter of the rods. Mine were 2mm. Most commonly available ends are made to me used with 4-40 and 3mm rods.

And the original ends aren't tapped. They are just drilled a little undersized and the rods cut new threads when installed.

Zooming in on the pictures, the fronts are Pro-Line "The Edge". I can't read anything on the rears.

I got a six gear transmission, Pure-Tech strap and brackets, and some 10T front wheels. I already cleaned them up a bit, so they look a little better than what I received.

A lot of truth to that, simply being something that is sought after.

Perhaps, being raised in the south, my view is a little different.
