More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Someone had their collection of 1/6 scale r/c cars and trucksat my local flea market yesterday. Items consisted of NB baja VWBeetle 1/6 scale, NB Dodge Hemi 1/6 scale, Fast Lane Hummer H1 1/6 scale and finally a NB Escalade 1/6 scale. All had batteries, 2 had battery covers, only 1 had its transmitter/controller and none had battery chargers. They all needed cleaning accept for the baja VWBeetle, all were covered in a thick layer of dirt. Pics taken before cleaning

First, the FastLane H1 Hummer, it takes a 7.2v battery which Icurrently have none of. It has both side mirrors and body is in good to excellent shape. Transmitter mhz is not listed on sticker on chassis. It says on one sticker "band 1". Light rack on top is complete and wired up it looks like with 4 led's. Head and tail lights already wired up and look good. This one has had no testing yet for lack of everything needed to test...http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ngry_smile.gif Tires/suspension and chassis all look to be in great shape. Having problems uploading pics for now, will load more later and pics of other r/c's.

More pics of the Fastlane H1 Hummer UNTESTEDhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ngry_smile.gif
Ideas for finding transmitter or mod ideas?

Nice............do you hang out at flea markets all day?:D Looks like the H-1...........did you get the others too?

Next is New Bright VW Baja Beetle. It is 1/6 scale and uses a 19.2v battery that was included with it. Body and chassis are both in great shape, it is missing the passenger side mirror, transmitter and battery charger for 19.2v battery (which I don't have yet..)http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ngry_smile.gif It will sit on the shelf un-tested until charger is obtained. Nice cromed out big block V8 motor on back end, looks pretty good, might move it to another project for a tough lookhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../msn/48_48.gif

WOW .. [X(][X(]DARK .. I want to go to your flea market. .:D
This big Hummer, and the VW Beetle Baja are very attractive ...
It will be a pleasure to see your projects on the forum ..
Many mods on the horizon ..[sm=thumbup.gif]

The New Bright VW Baja Beetle, will be ready for the speed .. [X(]
Change the motor for more powerful, and also install oil shock ..:);)[8D]
Just an idea for you.;)

Next is the Dodge Ram Hemi New Bright 1/6 scale. It was by far the most dirty of the collection. Nearly all stickers have been pulled off only leaving little bit of paper and adhesive behind on body poor job who ever did it. I will find a way to get the bottom layer of paper and adhesive off of the body. The body itself is in good shape, the front window has been removed and re-installed a few times and is now bent and hard to put back in. I will super-glue it where it should be. Front bumper is broken and almost on the ground. Electronics run off of a 19.2v battery. Truck will remain un-tested until I can get a 19.2v battery charger.

Damn i need some flea markets around my house for some nice finds.

Finally in this findis a Cadillac Escalade by New Bright in 1/6 scale. It came complete with r/c, transmitter, battery and bat. cover. It is fully functional with left and right turn signals, head and tail lights and complete detailed interior and subwoofer system in rear. Stock engine in this is very weak, it can not drive itself up a very small inclinehttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...humbs_down.gifbut a better motor would help in this problem area. Runs off of a 9.6v battery and is completely functional. The turn signals left and right when steering is a nice touch and looks cool when driving..

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Oh yeah how much did they set you back if you don't mind me asking?

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

If I told you the price, I would have to kill you:D.  I wish they all came with transmitters and with battery chargers but beggers can't be choosers.</p>

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Is anyone interested in the New Bright Cadillac Escalade, body is an '04 I think?? I also might consider parting with the H-1 Hummer by Fastlane if I can't get any more info on it or can't find transmitter...;)

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

What frequency is the H1?

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Nice finds Dark,...will the tires on the dodge fit your 1/6 crawler rims???

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Yes Cobra, as well as the tires on the VW Baja!! I now have extras:D;)

Also, Dudecat the hummer does not say the frequency on the bottom, it says band 1 but does not list 27mhz, 49mhz etc.  I will test a few once I get a battery/charger for it. 

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

very cool man!
is this a one day find?

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Yes, one trip and more r/c then I could carry at once[X(] I was very suprised[8D]

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

I got the 1/6 Bug off ebay too and i modded the motor to have the blower work..........belt and all.........i'll post a pic or a vid tonite........

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Awesome love to see that in action.

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Are you serious REBUILDER?? THIS I HAVE TO SEE! [:-]Do you have a video possibly?? This I have to see!! Thanks for the comment, that is a great mod idea and VERY unique[X(] Is it a nitro gas motor or still electric REBUILDER?

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

Also, does anyone know if the rims off of the NB VW Bug or the NB Dodge Hemi will fit on my New Bright 1/6 crawler? Also, any tread cut designs besides Texx's cut tires for big crawler? At least one of these will be kept for speed like a trail/off road rig and the tires need to be cut to knock some of the "stiffness" out of the ride I have been told. 

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
 

how much for the caddy?

RE: More Flea Market Finds 1/6 scale collection
