I came in a slightly complicated situation when I had to fix an old RC car
recently. The old setup consists of old Sanwa servos and receiver. One servo
(and now also the other) broke and I replaced it with a new Futaba. To get
this to work in the system I had to switch the ...

Hey everybody.  I have been looking to get into R/C nitro or electric
for a while now.  I am still in the early stages of looking, but I am
not sure what type of car/truck I should be looking at.  Here's my
needs...

What a good side mount tuned pipe for increasing low end?

My buddy stripped the spur gear on his first run with his ST pro. Is this a

Just posted some photos in the ABRC from this afternoons use of 21/2 gallons
of nitro!  I'll be buying quarts from here until next spring.  What a great

see if larger would react the same) and have the same ...

I am getting ready to purchase a new nitro car and wanted to get some
advice.
First I am thinking of getting a 1/8-scale buggy and was wondering how
those compare to the 1/10 scale stadium trucks in terms of

What do you guys use to clean your nitro trucks? Is regular degreaser from
WalMart any good?

What do you think about this model??
Any sales that model???

I just got two used t-maxx for $225.00 each. Both are RTR and run great
and have the pro .15 with  lots of hop ups and came with lots of parts.
My question is they both seem to get stuck in reverse when u throw the
switch on the radio. You put the switch back in forward and they ...

I bought an E-Maxx a few weeks ago along with 2 ea. 6-Cell 3300 NiMh packs.
My charger (Tekin BC112) can charge up to 12 Cells in series.  Since my
battery packs are identical, and since they are discharged in series, I
thought I'd try making a charger cord to charge the two packs ...

Actually its the comparison of one Democrat that represents the body,
