Oh I remember those, those are old school kool. We were running those before brushless came out, duh . I also liked the hydra plane esc's for brushed setups. Too bad I don't have any n2 setups for them. What do you want for them ?.

[Southwest]

Airtronics is what i'm looking to for am brushed units. TTYL.

[gsbuickman]

I'm going to run them till I can't find parts. Airtronics is what i'm looking to for am brushed units. TTYL.

Ok, i'll call jerry clark the airplane man. I should be able to pick up some more 72mhz am Rx's for you, if you need them.

[gsbuickman]

Alright

I got the ESC mounted on the starboard side of the hull. I mounted the flat pack Rx battery across the aft of the hull, to balance the weight across the hull. The eciever battery tray made a nice place to locate the spekky Rx. I ran the Rx antenna to the villain whip antenna with a eyelet terminal end.

Now I am waiting for the stainless u-joints from China, bullet connectors & steel pinions from flebay.

I found a cool eBay store to source steel pinion's, with a 3.175mm bore (4mm) to run the factory steel driveshafts, rather than increasing the rotating mass to 5mm.
He has quite a selection of steel pinions to choose from, good prices too...

I also found a great place to get 3.5, 4, 5, & 5.5mm bullets from, here in the US at great prices .......

Ok, so I got ahold of the guy at the fleabay store that has the steel pinions. He's buying from HK, and reselling the m them at a 300% profit. I can order them myself from the U.S warehouse........

[gsbuickman]

Alright, I ordered 20 sets of 5.5mm bullets, fresh flux core solder & a big can of butane for my torch, to secure all the power connections .

Why can't Acme show up with a delivery 20 seconds after i place an order, like they do on the Road Runner ?.........

[flraptor07]

Speaking of deliveries, did you get mine yet?

[srislash]

And you'd be surprised how quickly 20 sets go

Damn, i spaced it. I went out and checked the box, yep its there, thanks ..... Your right, it's the same as the other one. I guess I gotta buy something to throw them in besides my pit box......

[gsbuickman]

And you'd be surprised how quickly 20 sets go

Yeah, no doubt bro but at this good of a deal, who cares.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/190897663137...84.m1423.l2649
