Thanks Professo!!!!!!!!!!!
How many turns is the correct motor supposed to have?

I have a 13 turns version of these that came in a RC10L. Unfortunately it is very, very beaten up (and so was the 10L :lol: ).

I have a 12 double in that car now and as large as Yatabe is it is entirely possible that wind was used. But, I have no real info on what he actually ran. Which version did you get, pic?

Could you please make a scan of the instruction sheet and put it up? I have one of those ESC's and have no clue how to set it up.

As always, I'm trying to juggle all of my projects as they stall out while I look for this or that for them. I'd been looking for one of the "Thorp Dirt Burners" sticker on the top wing in pink for about 6 months- eBay member billfco had tons of great NIP parts with stickers http://www.ebay.com/sch/billcflco/m.html?hash=item3cc8fc92b4&item=261070033588&pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2562 but no parts I've needed other than the sticker :oops: (and I've been rechecking for months) I contacted him about selling the sticker alone and he offered to just send me a few instead.

SUPER COOL SELLER!

Cool, thanks for updating. Not too sure if it helps you (or anyone) but I have a Sanwa plug adaptor between an esc or servo to a Futaba receiver that I don't need.

Batteries came from Henrik (Isobarik) in Sweden through me to Charlie. Henrik seems to have taken a long vacation this summer but hopefully he is busy trying to arrange a blind date for me with his neighbor Maud Adams.

Looking great!

Find LavCo stickers (yeah right :lol: ) black Atlas stickers, a yellow small RCPS sticker and small Orange RCPS sticker (bought some on eBay...but my local PO failed to deliver) paint the body, swap the reciever to a Sanwa/Airtronics dremel the servo saver down. I think that's it-
