Grumpy pants 4369 Posted May 2, 2020 I’ve had a glorious morning in the sunshine sorting through my Vintage Acoms kit 😊 What would be the right a period correct set for my Super Champ? I have AP-227 MKll handset with the ARB-227 R/X and AS-1 servos in my Ranger and M38 Wild Willy. My guess would be this set up would be period correct for my Super Champ. Also is the MSC in the picture the correct one for a Super Champ? Again I’m pretty sure it is right from a similar question from another TC member. As always, thank you in advance for your wisdom 👍 All the best Simon 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy pants 4369 Posted May 2, 2020 A quick vanity shot of my dusty Super Champ- shelf duty only. I bought for myself last summer as a present for getting to 50 years old 💥 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeyk01 70 Posted May 2, 2020 For me it was a Futaba FP-T2F transmitter. We would convert the throttle to a slot car controller. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like I need to preserve it. Lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted May 2, 2020 If you don't need to use it then don't , they are hard to find . I've got a boxed nib one in my SC parts stash :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s spare set Kev, I have been holding back on selling. I have 2 other full sets, 1 in my Hilux which I tested today and the other in my Blazing Blazer which I need to test next. Then it can go up for sale 💥 Whats the best way to remove battery acid from the battery terminals? And sticky pads and residue from the servos? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried a few things for removing residue from terminals white vinegar and water is good .I use 'sticky stuff remover' from De-solvit to remove old servo tape. I have removed the actual tape from servos by rolling it with my thumb to get the majority of it off before removing the glue with 'S/S/R' 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shelly 1 Posted May 24, 2020 I have an original super champ msc, however it does not have the resistors. Are these available separately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KEV THE REV 2304 Posted May 25, 2020 After looking at my MSC here it looks as though you can unbolt the whole resistor section and refit another although I haven't ever done that . I haven't seen any spare resistors so not sure if they were ever available . The MSC was also used in the 58032 Tornado and the 58033 Ford C100 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
