For something going on the shelf any complete matched set of period radio gear is pretty nice to have.
I don't have anything that I'd put on a shelf unless that was the transition from the track to the work bench after it had been out on the track I guess I'll do a little research to see if there's any reason for me to dig through all my junk to find it Thanks for the input!
Ok Erich, I'll keep that in mind. I'll do a little digging sometime this week. I'm catching up on school right now so I'm not sure when I'll get to it I'll PM you when I find them.

I have the same setup I think, Challenger 2PX? It says HI-TEC all over it, but when I first asked about it here on the forum somebody told me all the HI-TEC/Aristo-Craft stuff was actually made by Airtronics?
OK, so I dont really know anything about the quality of older electronics and hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. So this is what I have:

Just a though, If i treated the numbers like a brushless, the 25k rpm over what is likely 7.2 V puts the motor a little over 3500KV rating which is about 11 turns. I'm trying to find out if the motor is or isnt 11 turns b/c i'd really prefer reverse...

Hi guys, I'm rebuilding a Losi XX over in the Losi forum, but would like to tap into the wider expertise and experience of this board to ask you for any information you may have on the following:

I've been assembling a collection of vintage radio gear so I can start outfitting my buggies. This set up is slated for my 6016 buggy. First is my Novak 2H high powered servo which came out in 1983.
Next is my 1X ESC which was the top of Novak’s...

I had no problems swapping my NES1A from JR to G, it's fiddly, but with a good iron, steady hand, good light and magnification not a big deal.
I found these on a treasure hunt today and I'm pretty stoked. All but the FM XXL are sealed in factory packaging. The one that is open is brand new but not sealed anymore.

Yes very poor form indeed. I guess what I meant to ask is are these rare or interesting? Im new and started a build thread then got deployed so I haven't had time to post or use the system much.
What makes them rare and interesting is that they...
Browsing TLR's website to get ideas, I happened across this image, and was wondering what was going on with the very vintage electrics.
This was on TLR's page for the 22 5.0 Elite DC kit, due in September.
Is this a new trend? Someone...

Thats pretty cool. I honsetly miss nimh batteries sometimes. No worrying about puffing or explosions. I wouldn't mind if they came back. I hope eventually they discover a new battery technology that has the run time and out put of lipo, but without...

Thanks for the input!
