Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply.  Is there a way to tell?  On the one that works, I see a 72-3 on the little pull sticker. Wouldn't they work if both were the same or are the specific to the transmitter/receiver?  Sorry I'm a newbie to this.

Status: offline 		as i understand it the radios (27Mhz and 72Mhz) are built differently, so the to are incomparable. i could be wrong though, my am experience is limited to the 2 radios i got with rtr's.

Status: offline 		I just got ahold of an rc truck with no identifying marks at all.  It looks to be early 90s technology.  Im a newb, Ive been searching all over for something similar.  the closest I can find is a tamiya black foot.



The radio equipment is all airtronics.  I cant get the battery charger to work so I dont know if any of it works.  The controller is probably toast as it has some water damage from sitting in someones garage. So is it worth fixing up just for fun?  It looks like it could be pretty fun.

Status: offline 		That's a Kyosho Big Brute. If you don't have to dump a lot of money into it parts, it would be really fun to get it working again. Far as the electronics go, I'd rip em all out and go with a new or at least more recent ESC and batteries. If those are NiCd battery packs and are as old as that truck .... chances are they are shot and your going to need a new battery pack.
