Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / November 2003

Ok i am about ready to stick my Tmaxx up whoever's A## made it.Why? cuz
it aint nothing but one headache after another one.first it was the
motor,then the elce' starter,then the pull starter.Now it's the dayum
tranny.or more less the controller.

Well I finally held one in my grubby hands.  The LHS had already sold a few
but had a display model.  The first thing to cross my mind was, can I swap
the tires onto my Maxx?  I liked the option of RTR pull-start or drill-style
start.  There was a nice lightness to hefting the truck ...

Hey all,
I have a Savage 25 and want to convert it to a brushless setup.  I
have seen a few others floating around, but not enough to actually
make it a piece of cake to do.

Who assembles the RTR RC cars or truck? A human or a machine? And how
accurate is the assembly?

Hello, I am building an RC10L3 to race on a flat carpet track this winter
and I want to upgrade from the servo I got with the MX-3 radio I am using. I
was considering using a Hitec HS-625MG or HS-645MG. Any thoughts on these
two servos or maybe someone out there has a good ...

Hello, has anyone ever put an automatic transmission into a rc car, or is
there a source of them?

Thanks :O)
ok I have a trinity x-star which I understand is quite an old stock motor. I
don't know much about it tho because it is from a car I got off ebay
(schumacher fireblade usa).

I am looking for a black RC10T aluminum chassis for a reasonable amount of
money.  If somebody has this item for sale, an email will be appreciated.
It must support the Stealth transmission.
Thanks,

Guys, I need your help.
Ive popped over here from the Helicopter forum as I'm looking for
advice on my next project.  I have access to a CNC laser cutter and
have produced almost 200 sets of side frames in Ali for the Eco 8

I just picked up my '03 Cobra Vert.  Love it!
The first thing I want to do is have a good set of frame connectors welded
in.  I'm going with the Global West Competition frame connectors unless
someone knows of a better set.  I had them in my '00 GT and was happy with

I don't get stock motors. I mean I thought the mabuchi 540 was a stock but I
see they have all these expensive ones and they seem to have different
characteristics like high torque or high rpm.
So really, why is a stock motor so called?

I will be relocating to the south Denver area soon and I was wondering
how many places there are for RC bashing and racing of all types.  I'm
from Southern CA, where it is getting more and more difficult to find
places to race and bash.  Hoping to hear from some folks in the ...

I am fixing an old Nitro Hawk truck that belongs to a co-worker. He said that
the engine will only run for a few seconds and then shuts off. When you
restart, it does the same thing. It appears that the engine will not suck fuel
from the tank. I found a hole in the tank where the ...
