I'm not always good at those kind of puzzles. I was usually decent at Battleship though. [&:]

And I seem to have RCs all over the house too.

here's a question... if i were to sell my M-04M Alfa, with the Futaba radio and servo, how much should i ask for it? of course i'd expect a loss, even though it's never really been run before.

just trying to make some extra money here. [:@]

1/2 of what you payed for everything is the going rate.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know off the top of their heads what S600 motors I have to buy for a DualHunter? I have read about people saying you need reverse ones etc? I typed it into Tower but they only have one listing for the model, ot a reverse variant?

Also where can I find out what I can fit to upgrade the car overall? I used to do TT01's which was easy to find lots of parts for by just typing in TT01 on search engines but my first attempt at producing a 4WD shelf queen does not seem to be so easy to find bits for?

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Cheers Fella,

I've found the motors on Tower but not sure with having 2 motors on a Dualhunter whether I just order two with the same rotation or if I need to get one reverse rotation one? I read somewhere about peope recommending this motor but I don't want to order two the same if thats gonna be wrong!

speaking of ebay... i know how RCU feels about ebay links so i'll just have to describe this: a friend of mine found a 1996 Toyota Corolla on ebay that was riced out to look like a Subaru Impreza WRX. it's painful. you can't miss it, it's pretty funny to look at if you're the type who enjoys horrifying sights.

Don't know, it says "discontinued" here.. ?!

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBYM9&P=7

You meant what does it mean by "reverse rotation"?! It just means the motor is designed to spin one way vs. the other... (w/ proper advanced timing) For something like silvercan, it does not matter as it has 0 timing, so it spins both ways equally well..

Did anyone read this?

We are in the final stages of testing our upgraded discussion forums and we are planning on rolling out this upgrade in the next week or two barring any unforeseen issues. The upgrade will likely begin on a Thursday or Friday and continue over to Saturday and Sunday. During this time the site will remain up and running but new registrations will be closed for that 48 to 72 hour period.

The new forums are chock full of long awaited features and some bug fixes. The upgraded forums will sport a streamlined user interface in many areas, easier file and photo uploads, embeddable youtube videos, more use of "AJAX" so fewer page loads and refreshes to accomplish many tasks. Also the long awaited WYSIWYG inline editor for posting is part of this upgrade making it easy to format your posts without using the older BBCODE/PGCODE tags.
