Very cool Robb. What are the plans for it?
Clean, but as-used shelf queen. As it would look sitting on the shelf of a 14 yo kid in 1988 who drives it a few packs every weekend, but keeps it clean and well maintained.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

I've got a couple of those Tekin Rebels. They can be finiky to program. Having to do it four or five times isn't uncommon.
No experience with these. I'll do a search but can't hurt to ask, how do you go abouts to program them? Hope at least one of them works considering I got 'em pretty cheap, like two for the price of one kinda cheap.

Yokomo/Groupner Dogfighter YZ-834b BNIP wheels , now got a full set of brand spanking new ones to replace the used ones on the shelf
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Isn't that a great feeling? Must be like finding a BNIP white bumper for a TRX-1.
Snatched up a Futaba FXT parts truck. Came with the Novak 610-RV esc pictured in the previous post above, cheapo garbage can worthy 550 motor & Traxxas Rx. Also the chrome 5-star HPI 2.2" wheels that I actually like, so they'll be reused with a nice set of replaced tires and refinished/repainted as I see fit. Between this one and my other FXT parts truck, I should have everything to make a complete unit, plus a handful of extra spare parts and possibly a complete spare trans.

Before that Traxxas Rx hits the trash bin... can you tell me what model it is? I have a few vehicles in the RC garage running on Traxxas radio equipment.
Frankensteined RC10T3 / Franky Jr RC10GT-e (x2) / A+ stamp / Toy Story RC / Graphite replica / B1.5 BFG 5LTi / Clonewald / Hyper Hornet

Traxxas 2215, 27MHz with crystal. Don't know if it works or not, but you can have it if ya want it. I replied to your PM shortly after you sent it, did you receive it? My reply is still in the outbox and did not go to my sent messages, weird.

I see your PM reply now, but didn't get a notification. PMs are done differently on this site than others I've been on.
Thanks for the details on the Rx. I might have a use for it. Will PM.
Dropped off at the post office during lunch. PM'd tracking info.
Got a couple Trinity Speed Gems. One is in great condition and the other is better than average.
The ebay listing said that the Sapphire didn't work. But upon seeing that it had a diode on it, I figured that there was a good chance that they hooked it up backwards. I was right, it works fine.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

So you're the one who got those. Nice to hear they both work good, at a great price too. I was watching them but decided to pass because I already have two Jade motors, one original and one Speed Gems 2, and really only wanted the Sapphire. The fella who sold them lives about 40 mins from me.
I've been digging, doing some research, tapping into the past. On my journey I've Found some very interesting early posts by a lot of currant members here in the archives. Very interesting stuff! I encourage newer members to do the same, as the old...

Nope. I'm not clicking on any links in this thread because I know one of them is going to be Farmer's pic. :P
None of them were about that picture.
But now one of them refers to it.
But seeing how often it is mentioned in this thread, it sure...
This seems to be a hugely popular thread on another forum out there, so let's see how it do here?!?
Simple, what did you do RC wise today? Pics or it didn't happen! Painted a body, rewired a ESC, mounted some wheels, finished a 3-year project...
Last post
I converted my ESC and batteries to Deans ultra plugs. Also had to re-learn how to solder. Managed to melt one of the plugs a bit in the process. Fortunately I bought extra.
Thanks to Hoopty for the design, and Mrlexan for the production. They look great. And Thanks again Jay for the body and wing to put them on, can't wait to get 'em dirty. :D

The seller even included a free gift of 4 bearings. Wow, can't wait for my tires to show up too (same as what's in the pic here).
Got a bunch of stuff now, including the RC Channel rear metal kit, SRB alloy chassis and nose. Just need the RC4wd...
Last post
since there is no rc4wd local distributor here in our place, they didnt ship here without approval, wasted a lot of good stuff from them (we need to order in a long process)
I built this today, its just a start, it was hard to get a picture of the whole track, unless I stood really far away... anyways more to come soon. its gonna be a lot of fun and was not too hard to do for just a few hours work! i made the rails out...
Last post
any suggestions???
thanks

Big jumps and take some pictures of cars in action :D Looks amazing, I'd love a garden!
I thought I would start a thread having to do with cool/offbeat music. So your feeling a bit low, your dog has a bad case of fleas, it's raining outside, you can't run that awesome RC10 build because your missing 1 stupid part, nothing cool arrived...
Last post
I just picked up a few sort of new ones from work, Pink Floyd and AC/DC. The latest releases from both of them on CD.
