Continuing with my retro/modern mix I decided to throw in an Aurora 14-2 brushed 540 and a Castle Sidewinder 3 ESC. The first run had me singing 1987's Speed Demon by Michael Jackson. LOL I just plugged it into the castle link and dialed it down to 75%. I forgot to glue the tires I don't want to roll it over yet!
The 14-2 on a 2300 mAh 30C lipo dialed down to 75% using castle link is still stupid fast but controllable. The ESC doesn't even get warm. I really like it. Can't wait to hit the sand.
Thank you I'll give that a try. Just to be clear, the bend in the axle will roll forward slightly and be parallel with the frame rail bend? The frame angle is the kickup right? Any link with some photos? Thank you again!
I have the rear suspension on the wrong side of the tower.
Finally, after 1 week of waiting my order on RC10 parts had arrived. There, I was surprised why the big carton box!?

Getting stuff to the UK from Tower can be hit and miss regarding customs. If the parts are small enough to go in a jiffy bag it will usually sail through, especially if the packer is kind enough to mark it as commercial sample :D If your parts have...
Is there any place on line to find old Tower catalogs? I am looking for one from the late 80's to early 90's. Not looking for anything in particular, just want to browse!

Get yourself an old Radio Control Car Action magazine from back in the day because towards the end of each issue was pages and pages of Tower Hobbies ads. I can remember always looking at the prices hoping that one day they would come down. :oops:...
Im in the Champaign IL area for work for a couple of days and would like to check them out if they have a retail outlet. I thought they did but I didnt see anything on their website. Is there one?

If your in that area go check out Slot and Wing Hobbies. It is one of the last old school hobby shops around and they have a ton of of old vintage stuff. I already raided the old AE stuff but I had the feeling I missed some stuff.
I am getting ready to order some things from Tower. They are offering $25 off for orders over $200. Would it be wrong for me to place several $200 orders instead of one large order? They have not sent me gold promos in a while so this would save me...

I just did this last week. By combining the special offer and the super saver discounts, I got an LRP Z28R spec3 truggy motor with a couple extra plugs for $170 shipped priority. Then, a scratch and dent FM 3PKS for $220 shipped regular ground/free...
Anyone know when the last printed Tower Hobbies catalog was?

It isn't perfect, but my Samsung Galaxy phone and tablet both have scan functions in the camera settings. It automatically adjusts and crops the page. It does take a little getting used to.
Not ideal for a full catalog but it would work okay for...
