NEW TO RC10's BUT NOT TO RC'ING
Posted: Thu Dec 12, 2019 10:28 pm
Hi!
This is my first post. Let me introduce myself; I started my hobby back in about mid 80's like many of you with the GRASSHOPPER. Eventually I was removing motor tabs to change timing, soldering extra cells, crashing it, I was hooked!
My background: 15+ years as a mechanic, 20 years in Electronics and 5 years as a Machinist.
Anyway, to feed my "habit"; I got a job in a Hobby Shop demonstrating R/C toys to customers; cool gig! My first serious RC car was the Kyosho Optima or Ultima, can't remember, 4wd. But, I always wanted an RC10!
Fast forward to the present. I haven't messed with them since the early 90's. I was designing and building my own power mosfet controllers, boosting radios, winding my own motors, etc. And recently, someone gave me 2 Gold Pan RC10's of which I sadly know nothing about and that is why I am here.
What exactly do I have and what should I do with these? My purpose is pure driving fun; no competition.
