So what did you get in the post today ???

[Jirka]

All for my 10L project which is about to go through a major change.

Is that Paragon motor in Yokomo can but in Trinity aluminum endbell?

How can you tell if it's a Yokomo can? The aluminum end bell is indeed Trinity. I've never seen one like this before and was wondering if it might have been modified by the previous owner. I'll take it apart this weekend and post pictures if you like.

Just scored another 16T Paragon on e-Bay! Notice how the end bell is Yokomo. I'm guessing the first motor has been modified by the previous owner?

I think I have one of those. I know I have some motor that has that trinity endbell, not sure, but I think it is a paragon. I will check later when I get home and post it.

Thanks Justin! I hope it came from Paragon with the Trinity end bell and it's not some sort of owner mod. It certainly looks cool.

A couple bags of used wheel bearings, a set of nearly new vintage Losi truck tires and a set of used JrxT wheels... tires will go on my Junior T and not the JrxT wheels

Turns out the one I have is a Race Prep, not a Paragon. It is definitely the same endbell, though. Probably not much help, sorry.

Double post. Sorry.

Thanks for checking anyway! I guess I'll wait until the second motor comes in and then I'll do a comparison of the internals. Hopefully the windings are still the same and only the endbell was swapped out.

Finally got in the big guns for the new Evansville oval. I have a bunch of old lipos, but it's been a good while since I've updated.

I somewhat question the C-rating claims on the Nano-tech cells, but they seem great value - i'm using a shorty version in my 2wd buggy & its certainly as good as any top-brand LiPo that cost three times more!

Those in the pic appear to be 65c with 130c burst.

I like my 5300 nano techs but my shorty is from SMC and had a very similar price point.

I always wanted a Black Magic VooDoo, for no reason other than the rpm rating lol. This one isn't a voodoo but is it new new!

Just got home from part 1 of the honeymoon and had this waiting!
SRB #8 for me. #9 will be here in a few days
Pretty cool period car. A little dirty but in nice shape overall.




Coil over conversion, CRP bumper, nerfs, aluminum chassis (not sure of home made or aftermarket yet), home made lexan tub, etc.


Rear cage is similar to another I have, except it's steel tube instead of solid aluminum.


And it came with a bonus buttugly Gremlin modified body!


I need to rob a couple parts off this for other builds, but will keep it mostly intact and will probably run it a little.

This NIB Mantua Nevada Cross.


It's design is based on the same buggy as the Tamiya Holiday Buggy (The Stripper)
