  1. I can see where I need to enter it but I can't seem to find my actual code.
  2. Since running mine I've nuked 2 Counter gears...they nylon just doesn't age well (to say nothing about my driving style or the Sport Tuned Black motor I'm running....) The newest one I installed I boiled first. Holing up well thus far. RJ
  3. I think I have the mount you need, but not sure on the lights. I'll take a look. Cheers! RJ
  4. Hi, I joined back in July and was hoping to update some of my profile info and I can't seem to find my "TC Code" on my details page. I was assuming (perhaps, incorrectly) that my details page was my profile. Could you give me any advice on getting my code? Thanks! RJ
  5. Really? Colloquial wisdom when I was a kid and racing was that the Fox was the king of 2wd Tamiya's at least until '87-ish. Best of all it could go around corners and had a rear suspension that worked
  6. My first RC car was back in '86. Bought a Black Foot used from a friends brother. It came with an RS-540SD Endurance motor (wish I still had that!) I was great once I'd saved up enough for an Airtronics XL2-p. When I finished 6th grade that year I'd made honor roll all 4 quarters and as a gift my parents let me drag them down to Jim's RC in Derry NH and I got a Tamiya RX-540XD Technipower to replace the "Techniblack" I had. That turned out to be the death knell for the Black Foot tranny After a zillion sets of Diff/spider gears I parked it and it was lost to a bunch of moves and time. This one came almost as you see it...showed up last week. It needed tires and electronics, so I happily obliged with a brand new RS-540 Sport Tuned Black motor as a nod to my younger days I popped in an HPI ESC and a Spektrum RX and Servo. The tires are a spare set I had for my Monster Beetle Project{s}. Body has no cracks and just needs a sunroof and rear window....maybe some black paint on that grille and some color for the driver. Need to put the rear bumper back on It's just as fun to drive as it I remembered but I'm taking it a bit easy until I fab up some braces for the tranny to fight the side-plate flex (the cause of the nukes diffs of yesteryear). The truck is a survivor and I'm just going to play with it gently. No big resto, just smiles. Since it arrived I gave it some of the parts I never could when I was a kid...Monster Beetle CVA shocks, bearings and some CRP Suspension pivots and rear bumper/tranny brace. I wiped it down and just have been having a ball driving it. I build scale 4wd rigs and while I truly enjoy both the zen of the build as well as the nirvana of driving a scaler, the Blackfoot pastes a HUGE smile on my face. From last week before the CVA's etc...
  7. Love to see all the care you've put into the concourse level restoration! Big thumbs up!!
