I have acquired a Team Losi Sport 3-channel 27MHz FM pistol grip
transmitter and receiver which I am told is OEM with the LST (mini or
regular I don't know).  It didn't come with a manual though so does
anyone know of one I can download please?

The wether just now got warm enough to break in my kid's revo 2.5,
(new P&S) and after a tank, the ez-start motor fried. Rather than
replace the entire ez-start, is there a motor that will fit in it, and
if so, which one? I eventually plan to swap out the engine for a tm523

Anyone ever had one or had a go with one? I've been offered a 8 month
old one fore a very very cheap price. Just wondering if they are a pile
of crap or not.

I just got my monster gt from a hobby shop this weekend.  It is the new
4.6cc version.  I am looking at it right now on top of my big old 70's
TV.  It is clean and unscratched and huge as hell compared to my
rc10gt.  It is a hell of a lot bigger than a tmaxx.  I hope to have a

Where did you purchase this robison spur and clutch blah blah from? Or where
is best?

I assume that there is still a problem with this site? There was a

I'm thinking about buying a REVO from TRAXXAS and I was wondering if
this is a good choise.
I' d love some opinions and or tips??

Howdy,
A few recent posts have asked for servo recommendations.  I stated that I
use Hitec 645's on steering and Hobbico HS-64's on throttle/brake.  I had
also stated that both do their job nicely............

Will it be much of a problem to go from a 20% to 15% nitro fuel? Will I need
to take any precautions for the first little while? I'm only using my t-maxx
for bashing.

Some time ago I was looking at Hi-tec HS-645MG servos for use in a
monster truck but as time as passed, I was wondering what folk are using
nowadays?  I'm getting a TXT-1 and would like to get a steering servo
that can turn the wheels when moving slowly eg rock crawling.

My friend has a HPI Nitro MT and I have a spare OS 15 cvrx, rotary carb
with the original tmaxx clutch setup(short engine shaft).
Does anyone know if this engine will drop right in with hpi motor
mounts, tmaxx clutch and all into the nitro mt?

Hi to all:
looking for a source of info on the proper way to store and care for Ni-cd
and Ni-mh car packs. I have done a Google search and found a few, just
wondering what you guys are doing?

Am I seeing things....did towerhobbies.com really drop KYOSHO??
I thought towerhobbies was the largest distributor of their
products...at least I always found it very convenient to get parts.
What other online places can one get kyosho parts at discount?

What's a good car to start out with???
