Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / January 2006

Well I've been monitoring RC for a while and am disappointed in the lack
of activity in electric monster trucks.  Actually as I think about it,
it's the high end EP models I'm particularly interested in such as the

This is a Traxxas T Max that has a broken frame do to a head on crash with a
tree. It comes with (2) engines. The stock motor and a picco .21 motor. This

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while
back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and
came across an article similar to this that said you could make
thousands of dollars WITHIN WEEKS with only an initial investment of

Added aluminum a-arms on the rear, new tires (Bonz) and wheels ...

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with large scale cars
(1/6-1/4).  I love the look and size of these cars, but I dont know
any brands that make these except New Era.  Does anyone else make
these size cars?

When breaking in this new motor, I followed Traxxas break-in procedures
as closely as possible. However, shortly after starting every few
minutes I had to give the motor a break due to heat. Thinking the motor
would be better after break in, I installed a micro temp circuit (

Hi I have a Thunder tiger 4wd nitro and have broken the front skid/bumper,is
it worth changing it for a foam rubber one     or should I order the factory

My new Revo at idle is heats up to 280 degrees. I performed motor break
in by closely following the included procedures. In the process, I had

I have been out of the hobby for about 20  years now and I just picked
up a Tamiya Blackfoot Extreme kit and Im to tht point where it is time
to install the servo and Im now lost at what to do. The instructions

I just picked up the Timara Blackfoot Xtreme kit wil be building it
soon, prolly by end of this week. I know it comes with a standard 540
motor. I was wondering if any of you could advice me on what kind of
engine would make a good upgrade for it....

Fitted my RR gears, and my new HCR titanium engine plate - I now have all
the HCR stuff it is possible to get :)
Quick pick of the plate in situ -

    I have a wicked RC project in mind but until it's done I will not
divulge anything about it.
