I especially like the Gr.5 Pantera.

I placed an order. Wish me luck.

Odd. I use GT2E radios for all but one of my buggies, and all have worked flawlessly for as far a range as I can drive and still see. My other radio is a Spektrum DX3C, I think. It also works flawlessly, but I have had a receiver go south on me. More features than the GT2E, however.

They seem to be the only seller I can find with some parts I want in stock. Still, I'd like some feedback, preferably before I pays my money and takes my chances.

It doesn't help that the word "snow" has a somewhat different practical meaning when you are in North Dakota.

I must have been using the wrong tires or too much power, because my Javelin just kept burying itself.

I also wonder whether the re re Optima/Ultima optional ball diffs will work in this re re?

Lol, *I* live in North Dakota, albeit on other side of the state from Killdeer. For those not familiar with USA geography, "the other side of the state" can mean a long trip.

Had that problem in my Novafox. Fixed it by swimming up the bevel gears. El grande Mas pain in the neck. No idea how these things survive when any kind of real power is put through them.

I use carpet tape.

Strangely enough, the first lexan body that I ever painted arguably came out the best.

I have a Hakko 888D. A friend of mine who is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science uses an eBay special and says that it works just dandy for almost everything. Another friend who repairs mobile phones and electronics for a living (and who is certified to solder anything, including components on space rockets) uses a similar el cheapo unit for most soldering.

Stupit question, but I take it that the pinstriping tape on the outside of the body?

I wonder which will be the first US retailer to take pre-orders?

Perhaps this is heresy around here, but any non-Tamiya recommendations for a rally chassis?

I bought my first R/C car, an OG Kyosho Javelin, on Ebay, back when I knew even less than I do now. Seller was great, explained everything, gave honest descriptions, answered dozens of clueless questions, gave lots of help after the sale. Another seller of a Turbo Optima rere was kind of a jerk before the sale, but was very helpful afterwards, chasing down a lost shipment, offering tech support, etc.. Maybe Kyosho sellers are somehow different? Actually, the guy who sold me my Fox was also helpful.

My prayers have been answered.

At least as far as performance goes: don't different classes limit battery cell count, motor winds, boost, etc. to keep the racing competitive in that class?

On US eBay. I know, not Auckland. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-Nova-Fox-58577-RC-Buggy-Radio-Control-1-10-Electric-Scale-Blue-w-Track-/224728724198?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 No connection or experience with the seller.

I am wondering what the effect on racing would be if racers were restricted to NiMH batteries and/or brushed motors. Besides being heavy and down on power, from what I understand, NiMH batteries introduced an element of strategy back in the Good Old Days when they were state of the art technology.

I believe that there is a product called "Taulman glue" that is designed to glue nylon. Ungodly expensive and hard to find, IIRC.

I decided that my Ultima re re would be sponsored by Tide laundry detergent, does that count?

Same buggy, same kid, different body.
