I had been hunting for a period correct speed controller for my og tomahawk, and opened my email this morning to find an alert on eBay for this bundle. Looks like I could assemble 3 out of the lot with some battery and motor leads. Right under $21 to the door!

Hey guys! Looking for sone help here! So my cox/Kyosho speed control assortment showed up today! Pretty excited to finally add a proper Kyosho msc to the Tomahawk.

So my question is, do any of you know how to wire the sc-80 three resistor pack into the msc board? Wasn’t one for a brake?

Any help is much appreciated!!

Thanks

Trey

Got it in, still waiting on some 16ga wire to finish the motor side, and I’m seeing (thanks to juicedcoupe!) that the servo plate is attached upside down. When I got this car years ago it was partially assembled in a box, and no instructions , so that link is awesome! I may print a copy just for a keepsake! Lol anyway, here it is so far. Going to swap the servo horns around too, I have the bigger one on throttle, would look a bit better with them switched. No idea how to better route the three resister wires other than how I did. No real neat way to do it with wires coming from both sides.

Done and tested, I thought by flipping the plate I’d gain a little room, but after some eyeballing I decided there was no benefit to flipping it back. So back to the cabinet it will go :lol:

That's a nice motor sitting in the back of that buggy. Very cool buggy!

Thanks sir! Lol after I took it out of the Halsey it’s just been sitting in its tube on my work bench. It’s too pretty not to display in something. The Tomahawk is my crown jewel, so the 240 is perfect for it.
