  1. Hi all, Anybody know if the vintage Acoms ARA-427 4CH receiver is AM or FM? I have one in a Vintage Flakpanzer Gepard Tamiya 1/16 tank and trying to match up a TX. I have a Futaba FP-T4NBL that is 27MHZ AM27 and it doesn't do anything when powered up. I am guessing that means the ARA-427 is FM27?
  2. In the mid 90's I had a job at Toys R Us and it's still paying off. While searching for my missing Blackfoot in my parent's attic (the truck is still MIA), I stumbled upon an MRC/Tamiya shipping box with Toys R Us "do not inventory" labels on it. Inside I found an original Grasshopper II, a fully working display untouched since the 80s when TRU sold Tamiya RC stuff. I had forgotten about it entirely. I originally found it (in 1995 according to the receipt) cleaning up the store room and since it was a display and had "no value" I was allowed to take it home for the grand total of $5.28. Fast forward to today and I have a pretty cool project that needs some TLC. Some rubber wrapping and electrical tape turned brittle and gunked up a couple of spots and the body has a couple of brittle areas around the edges, otherwise, it's in great shape. Everything is there, driver, electronics, controller, manual(s), battery, charger and a few spare parts since I'm guessing someone had to build it for display. I'm probably going to skip trying to charge the old NiCad though. Nobody shared my excitement, so I had to post here–-now if I could only find the truck. Here's to new projects and hoping my parents didn't gift someone my Blackfoot.
  3. Hi All, Trying to get sorted for some bashing and noticed that I am missing the battery cover for an Acoms transmitter. Please let me know if you can help. Many thanks Mark
  4. As can be seen currently on the main page, just added to my showroom. The body only part inc. wing mirrors, tyre cover etc of my recently acquired jeep wrangler project. I want to repaint it but the wood effect has been done to a high standard and it would be a shame to strip it. So I'm offering it for sale at £50 plus shipping to cover the cost of a replacement shell. Plus as can be seen in the showroom pictures I'm willing to part with the MSC,resistor,acoms receiver and two as-12 servos which won't be needed in the rebuild. I'd sell for £20 plus shipping, untested but looks in superb condition and sold to me as new , hardly ran https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=138727&id=2692
  5. Hi there I need some help please with my vintage Tamiya RC car. Today i tried to use the car but i cannot control it from my reciever. So i tried to set up the ESC and followed the instruction manual guide, trolled through Youtube etc and i got nothing at all. The set up i have is as follows: Transmitter - 2Ch Acoms Techniplus Transmitter Crystal - 27.045Mhz Reciever - Acoms 2Ch reciever (AR-2 /27) Reciever Crystal - 27.045 ESC - Tamiya TEU-101BK So, here is how everything is connected in my car. The reciever has the steering server connected in Channel 1 socket and ESC is plugged in to the Channel 2 socket. The ESC has its battery connected too. During setup the motor was disconnected. I followed the procedure where the transmitter was in neutral settings etc . I switched on the power switch and then pressed the set button for about 1sec. Then i pushed up the (CH2) stick and pressed set and then pushed it down and pressed set. The lights did not change or do anything. I switched of the power and switched it on again. The ESC beeped twice and the red LED flashes away with a beeping too. I also noticed the the wheels are twitching and the steering servo also twitches now and again. I understand that previously i would hear this beeping noise (when the car was working ) when the transmitter was disconnected and when switched on the beeping noise would go and the car would be drivable. These are the checks that i have carried out. - Transmitter works well on other cars using the same 27.045Mhz Crystal. -Replaced the ESC and Acoms recioever. -Checked wiring etc So, cxan anyone give me any other fresh ideas to what i need to do please? Any help much appreciated. Thanks
  6. I would like to get my Hi-Lux Monster Racer up and running after 25 years. I want to continue using the original acoms radio gear (AP-227 MK3). Can I connect an ESC into the acoms receiver? If so, what ESC would be suitable? The current receiver does not have BEC on it and is sealed so cannot plug/unplug wires into it. I assume that definitely means I will need a different acoms receiver? All new to me!

  13. Hello everybody, I am giving away an old acoms 2 channel FM pistol transmitter. It comes with a 27mhz crystal and a plastic geared servo. The Transmitter has throttle and steering trims, reverse switches, steering dual rate, uses 8 AA batteries and is missing the antenna. It still works fine. You can get a screw-on antenna for a few €. The controller comes with an acoms plastic gear servo. Unfortunately I do not have a receiver anymore. I am willing to give those away as long as the "buyer" takes care of the shipping costs which should be 5-7€ max.

  15. Hi guys I,ve got the failsafe set so the throttle is at neutral and the car turns hard left. my first question is if i run the car then turn the TX off to test it the failsafe kicks in after about 3 seconds. is this correct as i thought it would kick in immediately as soon as the TX is switched off? my second question is how do you set the failsafe so the car brakes? if while setting the failsafe i pull the throttle back to activate the brake this causes the car to run in reverse if the failsafe kicks in.(hence why i set the throttle position to neutral). cheers Karl
