Jay Halsey 85 Worlds Build (Chassis MODS)

[Wild27]

i doubt an s131 was available in '85.

Scr8p thanks for the reply...I have a magnum senior 3pg radio that is all original and was manufactured in 1984. This model came with two s131 and one s128 servos. It's funny Ruffy mentioned a s32h servo...where did he get that from?

Anybody have jay on a hotline so we can ask him?

[scr8p]

hmm...... i figured they'd be to new. guess not.

i could call jay, but i really don't feel like bugging him just to ask what servo he used in his car 26 years ago.

Do you know where ruffy got his s32 servo info from? I know he used to race for associated and he usually has a lot of knowledge regarding this vintage stuff.....

[scr8p]

i don't know where he got it. but if an s32 is a mini servo like a 132, it's not right. you can tell in any pic of jay's car that there's a standard size servo installed in it.

Yeah you are right the s32h is quite a bit smaller than than either the s131s or the 132 so that model was most likely not used....

My RC10 came with 2 S28's with G-plug connectors. I think I will just use one of those for now....

Well, mother nature was not so good to me this past weekend! So much for the weather man's prediction of sun! Went out and bought a UVB bulb and am currently fake baking my parts! Hope this works. If not then I'll just pull them out and start reassembling....

Below is the SWEET NESC-4 I scored of RCtech! Thanks Kevin!

Still hunting for a Novak NER-2S 27 MHz G-Plug receiver!

you should loose the jar and just pour it in the pan on the foil

Good idea bearrickster! Thanks for the advice. I will do just that when I get home tonight after work.

Thanks for the compliment Jedi Master. Body & wing are in the mail!

Hope to start putting her back together soon. Still need to modify the shock towers and rit the front tower.

More goodies arrived today!

THANKS Tiger1!

Not really vintage or anything, but here are 2 of my current cars. Both painted by Kris Norlock

Something different to look at instead of just parts in this thread...

The paint looks very nice! Too bad it's on Kyosho!

You ever think, all you guys that have purchased UV lights, that the FED's are watching you now????

[RJK33]

Well, I felt really ambitious tonight and decided to start building. A couple of hours later and I have a nearly finished car! Still need a couple of tweeks (Rear camber) and some other items yet to buy but this is how she's looking. Think I may have found a NIP Novak NER-2S receiver locally! Keeping my fingers crossed. Still need to find some rear tires and a battery too.
Time for bed!

Sorry for the poor quality pictures. Lost my camera cord and had to use my I-Phone...

[RJK33]

Almost too nice to take it out of the package....

Then again...

Just need some rear tires, a battery pack and some odds and ends. Body is at the painters!

[slotcarrod]

Looks great! You need that Novak 1!
