Which short course truck? I had an og clodbuster back in the day.
Tekno SCT410.3. The clumsiness of the clods makes them fun.
Tekno stuff is slick.
I asked about servos a while back but not sure I followed up. There is a ton of rebranding and marketing garble to sift through. Played it safe and ordered a couple Hitecs since they are familiar.
On transmitters, has anyone had both Futaba and Sanwa? How do the brands compare? Leaning mid-tier Futaba since I've used them in the past and since they have a bigger US presence but could be convinced to go Sanwa.
With half of the family home with the flu I finally assembled and set up a Retropie for the kids. We're not a video game family, but I thought the kids might enjoy some of the classics from the 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis era.

I have both a sanwa system and a futaba system, and the sanwa one is mine. For my car. I like it the best. It's not a real fancy one, mxv. New mx6 looks the same. We have the futaba 3pv as well, and I like the feel of the sanwa.Quote:

^ Went with the Futaba. Only reason is they seem to have a bigger presence in the US. Maybe that works out for warranty support, maybe not.
Anyone want a Castle Sidewinder SCT ESC? New in box. $50 split shipping? Sending it back otherwise.
Stopped to pee on hwy 6 between price and green river. Might as well throw some dirt around.

In case there are any AE fans, pre-orders for the RC10 re-release opened up yesterday.

^^^^ Awesome! Had one for years. It went through many different incarnations, but spent most of its time as a truggy.
Rich Bitches. I think I had a Nikko from Radio Shack.

Awww nice. Very jealous! Enjoy the build.
Can't we just get some OEM-ish wheels?!!

The cooler temps in the early mornings and evenings have been pretty nice lately.

Oh, fuck yes.

Like.
Ha, not even trying to sell them to kids anymore. Funny how ahead of their time those things were, also, what big pieces of crap they were. Nice find.
Fortunately I don’t have kiddos so I don’t have to share. I always wanted the original Galaxy Explorer, which is now a 4-figure vintage kit.

Amazing! I kind of want one... Maybe in my stockingQuote:

I don't think there's an '80's kid who didn't love the space series from that era.Quote:

I think this was the first real set I had, certainly the first of the Space series. For whatever reason I associate this one with playing at our basement wet bar while my dad drive to the Pizza Hut 20 minutes away to pick up a pizza.

I had both of those.Quote:
