  1. Victory ! Electronic wise, the Bagdad Basher is recovered * insert a cookie dance here * Yes, it did came at a price.. but nothing much more you can do with a busted T-07 unit. ( well.. technical, the old one still could be used for a tank who does not need turret rotation.. )
  2. Curse me.. Diesel.. the gold stuff Of course its a bit smelly , but leave it out on a towel outside for a day and your good to go. It also conserves / prevents rust.
  3. Funny thing is, i have a reversed... issue.. Found a new clod body.. and nothing to put it on yet But now i think of it.. a kyosho blizzard.. with a clod body ... *mhe!*
  4. And it works ! After checking the old battery's , i have a feeling the old ( original ) phantom charger is not as great. After some fiddling around, got the pc link working on the new charger ( a bit.. ) .. its.. not really stable... yet ;p
  5. Update , as i was able to sell some old stock, managed to find me a T-07 unit , should arrive in a few days. I expect the replacement to fix the issue's with it ( the mechanical one's , anyway ) With sorting out bits and pieces, found back a new ( yup ) , metal track set for the tank. Miiiiight put that on! ( deserves a bit of love , the tank ) .. and if i can find the correct paint.. found also some really blingy front return rollers - who .. i might.. also fit - Think its taking me longer to repair this tank, then they spend on time repairing the 1:1 size !
  6. I did a very , very painfull job.. Pulled down 9 boxes ( type, big ) .. of parts and started sorting , ruthless . Kept over 2 boxes of "really good stuff" ... still, a bit.. painfull .. but half of the stuff i just did not know what it was anymore ( what car ) Or items i was quite certain never to use again. And its just to much to "ebay it" and all list it . Nothing lives forever But, i was quite pleased finding some more cars and gear i forgot about . A new Wild Willy 2000 , and a new tl-01 (?) with a porsche body.. .. and a new clod body.. new (super?) blackfoot body.. and some lexan's .. * sweeeeeeet * ( porsche 934 i think it is .. and a bmw m3 .. ) .. nom ! ( and a bunch of truck stuff , might be able to build me a truck out of that ;p )
  7. It really does not surprise me what i find in boxes ! New , boxed roof spoiler, New , boxed bullbar And 2 ( i assume used ) trailer light kits And im really open to offers sale / trade.
  8. Yep, i kept one set for myself , the little hoarder i am. A resin ( by now, i assume , rare conversion kit ) No broken off bits.. even with a ( dutch ) manual . ( what kind of says.. "paint it.. " ) Sale, well.. around 75 euro , those things came at quite a price those days . Shipping , everywhere... including mars ( talk to elon ? ) .. as long you foot the bill for it. Trade... can be ! .. truth is, im kind of limited of "what i still need" tho.
  9. Well, im digging out all my stuff And i found this one, the battery does have a "scuff" mark ( so i assume its used ) The box is -mint- ( also the inside-box thingy ) Price.. i have no idea , a decade ago they went for "high price" , but i really do not want to ride the overprice wagon. I am open to suggestions. Will ship anywhere, even the moon.. at your cost
  10. Thanks for the help ! 3 battery's ( good i measured it , they got a odd maximum size ) ordered, and a new charger
  11. Clear. thanks ... ! ( i just got to find another * simular * one, as there out of stock in our side of planet ;p ) .. annndd found one ** will get there ! ** Now to mesure up some old battery's of the drone , can't wait to crash that thing again.. * cough *
  12. Ah, ok , thats clear ! And i have might been a bit confusing .. like usual. I have a ALC-8500 , ( a shiny charger but it has no balance function ) , it says it can charge lipo's but i have not worked out how to balance them ( this is the charger ) https://www.elv.de/elv-akku-lade-center-alc-8500-2-expert-inkl-pc-software-chargeprofessional-vierleiter-ri-messkabel-temperaturfuehler-und-usb-kabel-1-6-m.html There is just no place on it where i can plug in the "balance plug" of the lipo I do have 2 lipo's , there 3C from the Phantom drone.. however, they are both dead / near dead .. and as they both went out about the same time , i blame the charger ( the charger that came with the drone ) So i kind of want to "bin" that one. ( the oem charger of the drone ) What i need is a budget way to charge the to-buy , new 3C drone Lipo's , ( preferable a way to do that with the alc-8500 .. but , what has no balance function )
  13. Yep.. i just do not give up ( but as i lost track, new topic ) managed to sell some models to fund.. new battery's ( in the first place, to get the DJI Phantom 1 back in the air ( both lipo's are nuked, i suspect the charger ) Would , if i buy the following , allow me to charge.. yep, the new battery's .. and , soon(tm) lipo's for the Tamiya models. ( im still a bit confused about storage mode.. but that is a entire different thing to think about . https://hobbyking.com/en_us/pd606-charger-eu-plug.html ( Option A ) What would allow me to also charge from my car / on a trip.. correct. ( just a bit strange that you have to charge over the balance wires .. it seems.. ) OR ( prefered option, as i do have a decent charger anyway ... ) ... am i correct.. if i put this one on my charger... -> https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbyking-safe-40a-parallel-charge-board-for-4-packs-2-6s-xt60.html ( Option B ) I have a "lipo charger" ? ( push the power in, that board does the rest ? ) -------- Used with these lipo's ( still got to messuren size, but they "look" about the same as my old one's ) https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-battery-nano-tech-2650mah-3s-25-50c-lipo-pack-xt-60.html ( Option C ) Or this one.. cheaper.. and they got them on a bargain or something.. ( UK warehouse, i can live with a few days delivery ) https://hobbyking.com/en_us/zippy-flightmax-2200mah-3s1p-25c.html ( Option D ) ( XT-60 as, thats what the drone takes ) Who would have tough ... lipo's as normal way to power rc cars
  14. This as , well.. this will be the first documented case As a owner of a ALC-8500 / ALC-8500-2 / Pro charger you have a included temperature sensor . These things can break down ( in my case, dog used it as a chew toy ) To replace the sensor, you need 2 parts : Silizium-Temperatur-Sensor KTY 81-121, 1000 Ohm EAN 4023392061837 and BKL Electronic Audio-Anschlusskabel geschirmt, Klinkenstecker 3,5 mm mono, vergoldet, gerade, 1,8 m, weiß EAN 4011376716477 ( a 1,8 meter long audio cable , 2 wire, with a mono 3,5 audio plug ) / in basic, a microphone cable with 3,5 mm mono plug. ) solder, seal with a shrink wrap .. and you have a perfect replacement temperature sensor for your shiny alc-8500-2 Enjoy.
  15. Im kind of "over the moon" I stored a lot of rc stuff over with a good mate of mine , it was sitting there for ... 7 - 8 years at least. Now, a while back i was kind of sorry already i lost my first models. ( a Kyosho pure ten, a Kyosho Blizzard ) And my first Tamiya , a Volvo FH12 Turns out.. i still have them ! When digging down boxes , recovered a terrible stash of 1/14 truck parts , including a pile of bling hopup parts ( still have not sorted out much ) But mostly... Found back not only my really-first-rc-car, the Kyosho Pure ten.. but also ... the Blizzard !! ( whoo ) ! - wife gonne murder me when she finds to boxes later today ;p -
  16. Confirming the manual should only be consulted when : It does not work It does not fit Strange sounds come out And indeed, it started to smoke and now it does not work
  17. Still here ;p yup, remember, i had the 2e (?) edition of your trailer for a long time behind a Volvo custom truck Last time i heard that chassis is still going to truck meets / shows . Tank track is now gone, and turned into a bunny-run , however .. still tank accessible So far, there is even some progress on the tank - issue , might be able to get a spare T-07 / tank / ish to be able to repair it. Its a work in progress , not giving up that fast . Poor poor waterboarded tank
  18. True , however.. Say.. they would -toss- all small parts in one bag .. ( more cheap for the producer also , no packing line needed anymore ) Meaning ( especially first time builders ) , going to spend a great deal of time and effort , hopefully sorting out the correct little screw with the correct part.. People would be not happy , buying a puzzle , instead of a rc car. They could consider using a hard ( plastic ) box for parts , could be reused as a parts-storage , and hard plastic is way more easy to recycle.. ( however, way more expensive also ) And bigger... and more heavy .. for shipping around.
  19. Ahh, i remember that ! A mini riot it was * grin * Total sideline.. ( warning, this might not be your first choise for music.. however... )... -> If you read the description ( when finished headbanging and pillaging your neighbors ) , they did this video-clip with mixed in "fan video" ( mostly the glass raising you see ) .. ** could be a option to also incorporate the members from all over the word we have **
  20. Love the idea ( no, camara-shy ;p ) .. and to far off .. But.. as viewed from my "side" ( and .. tc in that ).. You **should** find some or.. COULD find some way to incorporate the advantages made in the last decade .. We went from casting , cnc milling, manual laths.. to reproducing / building with those 3d printers to do the hard to get vintage parts or entire new one's. ( could also incorporate the battery stuff that really improved over the years.. the radio gear.. ect.. ) sort of .. "evolution" ( and, the members going with it.. or some.. who elected to stay old-school ;p )
  21. Ok, lets see if this is a option. Seems that my T-07 unit is partial bbq'ed from the Leopard 2A6 Would prefer to trade against.. say.. a build Leopard 1A4 ( as , yes.. i know the MFU also comes at a price ) Or, i still got several NIB kits laying around ( mostly TT01 i guess )
  22. Its a bit mixed tho.. About 10-15 years ago i spend ages and piles of money to scour 1/16 tank parts from all over the world ( litterly ) Even more on buying -rare- 1/14 truck parts build in small series . Just to be able to restore them or make what i wanted to do . Nearly un-ubtanium, even with money to spend to get to your goal. Now.. i just checked.. i can buy every part tree out there ( even the insane rare one's ) who , where years ago .. - just not there anymore - Yes.. they come at a price.. but.. - its there -. There where only a few vintage part dealers , ( jr - rc ?? ) and one decent ball-bearing guy on ebay.. - that was it - Now.. click-and-get .. I never bought many cars from ebay, but .. parts.. i think ( quick look ) , the situation improved with the ability to restore cars / keep cars going.
  23. I have a feeling that its harder to "get parts" then 10 ish years ago , that stuff must be stocked somewhere. And yes, if its out there.. its quite overpriced.
  24. Or take a look at those trophy trucks ( really unknown in Europa, ive seen it on some youtube clips ) Absurd the beating those can take . On the other hand, all those sports.. including wrc , kind of look like watching a game of tennis if you ever took a peek at Irish roadracing. ( Isle of Man style ) . Or what those brave souls do at Icelandic hilltop racing ( nutters ! ) ... now i type this.. i so need to fix the motorbike But running into a similar issue, while i do got the Nomadio set back in working order, its seems if i want to have some fun on a track i have to ditch it. ( somehow, these sets are banned , have no idea why ) Really shameful, as with the telemetrie its quite glorious to have temp readout / and other info at your fighter tip before you nuke a cylinder head on a 2 stroke .
