That conversation kit box is extra cool

I was not expecting it to be so small. I should have guessed when the shipping was less than the price of the box.
It is pretty cool. The printing on the conversion and the 10t box appears to be a stickers applied to the box. The quality is quite good. I'll have to see if my other boxes look the same.

The original release RC10, RC10L, RC12, TQ10, etc were all white boxes with printed labels glues to them. So your boxes are correct.

Except the original ones that were just a stamp on the box end and the slightly later ones that were printed and had additional text that was stamped as well. Sorry I had to

Fair enough.

Even if they weren't 'correct' they look nice and that is what I wanted most.

After seeing this I picked up one to use for my motor testing ESC. Mine appears to have the positive and negative color motor wires in the wrong positions. Easy enough to fix and makes me laugh a little. The easiest detail of building the ESC is the one that's messed up.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes a bit of box

I know that some of my transmitters require the throttle to be setup in reverse in order to work with some esc's.

Considering that my first transmitter didn't have servo reversing, it kinda sucked back in the day (especially with a twin stick!).

Other than taking the one out of the package, I haven't even looked at mine. I've worked almost three weeks straight, so I've only had time to piddle with a few things here and there.




EDIT: Just to be clear. I do not recommend these to anyone, regardless of price. Even when they work, they are still troublesome.

The transmitter also had to be reversed but that's not unusual.

Got these delivered the other day...

a pack of eight 26mm Ofna sedan wheels with minimal offset...Need these for some DS projects

and a RC10GT blue pan chassis in fairly good shape. Deanodizing and some sanding will make this a good start for a build project.

Indeed, as recommended.
