i am looking for a small but high quality color wireless video cam,
with a receiver that runs on battery power as well as the transmitter.
output only needs to be composite (yellow RCA) but s-video would be
nice. can anyone recommend one? i would be running 2 cameras so it

I have visited InfoRelation.com and I would like to thank you for drawing
my attention to this service ;-). The idea of connecting demand
and supply for info, knowledge etc is great! Thanks to this I was able
to find an expert in the field of my interest and hobby.

I am relatively new to R/C cars, but did have a Tamiya electric model many
years ago.  I am looking at two models, but would like to know more about
the pros and cons of each.  The two are the HPI Super Nitro RS4 (either
assembled or as a kit), or the Nitro RS4 3 EVO (assembled ...

There was a thread here last week about performance being compromised by
tuned muffler port extensions.  I like the idea too but I don't do it just
for the fact that is does rob HP.  Not that I haven't tried though.  I
certainly don't like the messy fouling of the oil on the model ...

Hi People,
I'm a novice at this electric stuff, so I'm looking for some pointers
regarding charging my batt packs. I'm using Venom 3000 mah nimh packs and a
Propo Supernova 250 charger.

I'm currently building up a RC10T4. I've previously built an RC10B4 so I
have a fair idea of what I'm doing. In building the gearbox, I've noticed
that the idler gear shaft is definitely too large outside diameter to fit
through the two bearings. There is totally no way it will fit. ...

I'm new to running nitro engines/transmissions and was wondering if
anyone of the regulars here have years of experience with nitro?
I've got a bunch of questions but before I fire them off I thought I
would make sure I'm not barking up the wrong tree.

I just bought a RC model and it came with a European 220v adapter.
Where can I buy a 110v adapter with a output rating of 9.6v & 250mA ?
Thanks,

   I was wanting to get something for me and my kids to enjoy together, how
much fun are these little r/c cars. What are the speeds and capabilities.
Can you use them outside just like a regular 1/8th scale. I picked up a
Wal-Mart truck last year and it is so weak and boring, it ...

Hi all, I`ve got an KO kr301 rx and I am suffering range probs with my Mars
R. How long is the rx wire antena as mine seems short, but I have no
comparison. could, if anyone has one, measure theres and let me know?
thanks

i currently own two tamiya 4wd (one belt one shaft) touring cars set
for rally (higher ride height and so forth) which get used on pavement
and in dirt.
recently i went to the local shop and saw a guy running a Losi Mini T.

Just thinking of getting into rc and wondered if anyone out there has
seen or played with, I think it's Team Losi Mini T 1/18th scale? I was
thinking of starting with one of these? How do you know whether to go
nitro or electric??
