Moonraker1 22 Posted November 6, 2019 I am new to RC cars and this is the first part that I have needed to source! My Grandkids managed to smash my Manta Ray into the side of my Madcap and break the 3 pin ceramic resistor Part No: 17265011 or 7265011 and break one of the plastic mounting posts off. I can glue the post back on but I will need a replacement resistor. Can someone advise me where I can get a replacement? I am in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted November 6, 2019 Ebay is probably your best source if nobody here has one . You could use a good clean intact used one at a push if you can't find a new one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moonraker1 22 Posted November 6, 2019 Thanks @KEV THE REV I did look on eBay initially but couldn't find any but I will keep looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted November 7, 2019 Put an ad in the 'sales and wanted' section and you'll probably get lucky . I used to have lots of these resistors but sold the last one I had in August otherwise you could have had one .I'm pretty sure you can use any Tamiya resistor that is matching 3 pin and matches the ohm and wattage of your one . You could also remove the MSC / servo and resistor set up and install an ESC , much better all round and no resistor to damage ever again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonboy1 2943 Posted November 7, 2019 I found a new 3 tab resistor for Barneys Hotshot 2 a little while back, which may well suit (you'd have to check the ohms etc as Kev said) - it's part 50212. There may still be some on ebay. The Monster Beetles/Blackfoots had 3 tab resistors too if I recall correctly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KEV THE REV 2319 Posted November 7, 2019 Yes , it should plug into your existing receiver where the old servo was removed from and , a very easy installation see pic showing 1060 ESC fitted with vintage Acoms 27MHZ receiver. The Quickrun 1060 is the current favourite , basically a 'plug and play' unit . You'll be up and running in no time . Which receiver do you have ? . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moonraker1 22 Posted November 8, 2019 Sounds great I will have a look which receiver I have later. I have a lot to learn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moonraker1 22 Posted November 8, 2019 Where is the best place to buy a Quicrun 1060? I have noticed as usual a large difference in prices on eBay and hobby websites so I want to avoid buying a knockoff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted November 8, 2019 The ESC will plug into your receiver . I've got a few of these ESC's and they are largely the same unit with rebranding done by various companies , you only need to pay up to around £15 for one . The one to look for has the switch that fits into a groove on the side of the unit - not a stuck on with double sided tape type something like this:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Car-Hobbywing-QuicRun-1060-60A-Brushed-ESC-Electronic-Speed-Controller-Hot/362625667263 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martinjpayne 273 Posted November 11, 2019 @Moonraker1 If you still need the three pin resistor, I've got a brand new sealed "Tamiya 50294 0.2Ω Ceramic Resistor (Three Terminal)" I can stick in the post to you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moonraker1 22 Posted November 11, 2019 @martinjpayne thanks that would be great I will PM you my details. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
