So, what would you all recommend for a motor for a Fox runner? It has stock gearing except for a steel pinion.

That 2.4 stick radio is really nice, any reviews anywhere? Thanks for the link.

no worries, i havent seen any reviews, but i have the pistol grip dx2s and the dx3 and both are good radios to use, lower end of the market, i dont use any gizmos when driving, just throttle, steer and brake sometimes

The RC28 is good cheap fun, but there is a LOT of room for improvement on this rebranded Exceed buggy. For starters, the lack of a real front suspension. The buggy has arms with living hinges that allow some movement, but its way stiffer than the...

I've also been working on an aluminum chassis for the 1:28 scale cars. I made a quick prototype by hand, it's seems pretty feasible and I think looks great. The compoenets I designed for the gold pan version above would pretty much apply to this...

I recently picked up one of these 1/18-scale RC crawlers for my daughter. I'm not sure if she'll be into RC so I wanted to start off with something inexpensive, mod it as much as I could, and see how it ends up. These crawlers are all over eBay and...

EDIT: Redpixel, I found another seller with the correct springs, available in both 35mm and 40mm:

These are just spring steel, not stainless...but I just did a search for 0.8mm spring 13mm and...

I wouldn't normally plug, but I thought you guys might be interested (and may not have spotted this yet)...

After my brief rant about F1, you will see some vintage images of Ayrton messing about with Tamiyas back in 1986, that have never been...

One of the best NASCAR drivers IMO. He raced RC cars and worked at a hobby shop in Vegas when he was younger.

So which one can I have?

J/K :mrgreen: Looks like you have some very nice projects there. The only Bruiser I ever owned had an Engle trans in it. I ended up polishing it, and soon after sold the truck on eBay. Most likely to pay bills I'm sure....

I really don't know where to post this so I created a new thread, my other Tamiya thread will just be for the cars but as I stated in it... I thought it would be cool to make a video with a Vintage camcorder (The PXL 2000) filming Vintage RC Cars...

What would this chassis be? Any value to it?

Thanks in advance!

Last post

I'm not sure what kind of chassis it is, wish I did though...

Upon getting this chassis I have found myself caught between a rock and a hard place. I have way too many projects going right now and really don't have time to do anything with this....
