Motors and quality of life, expenses et cetera

Yep, the lathe was used. I should have said that, sorry, but it's in excellent condition. -
@Thommo - the Top Force is currently on a great price at Tamico. Just saying

I bought a comm lathe recently for around £50 and brushes are really available from Tamiya and LRP. Brushed motors from both of them are available in rebuildable form and seem to be the best you can buy right now. For someone, if you're like me, who likes to tinker with stuff, brushed motors are still an option despite what sosidge says Bashing around the park is just as "real" as whatever part of the hobby they take part in. If you're into re-res then generally speaking nostalgia is a huge part of the experience, and brushed motors powered by NiMH batteries is personally where I find my happy place -
See page 8 of this thread...

That may be your problem then, rather than the ESC?

Thunder Dragon or Fire Dragon or Saint Dragon or Thunder Shot or Terra Scorcher. They're all the same basic chassis, and some are fancier than others. Or the Top Force or Manta Ray which are possibly more readily available than some of the above and slightly better performers.

Have you checked that you've set your Tx and Rx correctly? If they're giving a full throttle signal by mistake that will affect your ESC. I'd maybe start there and work forwards.

A little love letter to Tamiyaclub
Twinfan replied to BuggyDad's topic in Anything not RC related goes here
Sorry to hear about your personal circumstances, I hope you continue to cope OK. I completely agree with everything you say - as well as being an incredible source of information this forum is a place of solace that I hope we can all enjoy for many years to come -
I don't think there is a global reset option, I think you just need to make sure everything is set correctly. The default settings are highlighted under each option

Do you have a wide head flat screwdriver or something else that you can use as a drift? It sounds like they need knocking out.- 1153 replies

Wow, you guys really get hung up on the name don't you? It's just a name I take cars on their own merits, and for me the TD4 and TD2 are a new, fun and interesting chassis. It's been nice to see something other than the endless re-res.- 1153 replies

I seem to think the gold one wasn't too bad pricewise? I saw them when they were released and they were £249.99 I think? I bet some people are kicking themselves that they didn't buy one at that price now if they had the opportunity at the time....

They didn't make many gold ones, they sold out in the first couple of days here in the UK. I think Kyosho underestimated the demand for them.

I believe the 490 brushed and 480T/S brushless Le Mans motors are gone for good.
