  1. I've never painted it. I know I was missing crossbars, and bought new ones for WW2. I did upload original pics(somewhere), before I started restoring. The battery looks great. I have a new charger that is better than I had. Previous battery may have been with this charger. I still have some original decals.
  2. Thank you guys (especially Overlander). The battery arrived today. Well packaged and postage was reasonable.
  3. Thank you. The Wheelspin looks perfect. Hopefully freight isn't too much.
  4. I found this, which is related to a previous post of mine. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/101435-retrovintage-remake-of-the-classic-battery-cases/
  5. Hi, I've been looking through posts and had no luck, yet.. I have an original Wild Willy from 1984, that I restored, after spending 30+ years in neglect. I managed to obtain a Hump Pack battery several years ago from the UK, and it worked. However, I was too scared to use it too much, then the next time I udsed it the battery was dead ( think I may have disposed of it). When I looked at the Ebay site again, they had no stock available. I've been unable to locate this recently. I've seen a few posts about hacking the original case, which I think I may have disposed of. So, What would be the best solution? Is there a battery available somewhere, Or will I need to buy Sanyo/Panasonic 'C' type batteries? Can you use a LiPo substitute? (I assume not)
  6. Just thinking out of the square, but I wonder how well 3D Printe tyres made from TPU would go?
  7. Hi All. I found this today on Ebay in Victoria, Australia. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/333196884661
  8. Sorry for the delay in replying. I've found one place that can help me with the balance needed (I think) going on above information. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RC-Hobbywing-Quicrun-60A-2S-3S-Waterproof-Brushed-ESC-for-1-10/152241179750?hash=item2372480c66:g:~g8AAOSwM~taZT1C https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RC-HobbyKing-High-Torque-Analog-Servo-W-Pproof-40g-4-5kg-0-13s/161492605707 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RC-Hobbyking-GT2E-AFHDS-2A-2-4ghz-2-Channel-Radio-System/151570624965
  9. Sorry it should have read 8 × 1.2v
  10. I have to admit, I am not that familiar with all the terms etc. According to another forum, my transmitter is ok. Because there are 8 x 1.2v in, the meter reading is low. Correction re batteries
  11. Looks like my receiver is dead, as when initially I plugged the wires in, and smoke came from the crystal. I guess I need a new transmitter/receiver. The servos don't respond at all. When the nimh battery is plugged in, it goes in reverse and I can move the speed controller by hand. I was going to put the esc in to test it out, but was unsure what wires to connect up where. So this esc would be suitable? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232917047564 As far As a transmitter and receiver https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F251470592111
  12. Thanks for that info. If anything, I am just worried about the resistor melting the body, so if it's still usable, I'll stock with it, until I can buy the other one.
  13. I've just ordered some j connectors and a esc from ebay item 111342562947https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HSP-1-16-RC-Car-Buggy-Truck-ESC-Part-03058-/111342562947&ved=2ahUKEwjeyKCWjNPhAhXCYysKHS-gA6gQjjgwAHoECAEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1RVhD8ldOYjoV9eXaJUfob Hsp 03058
