    @ToyotaGuy1971 10 месяцев назад +1

    Awesome, looking good! The only thing I would sugggest, is cutting off those motor bullit connectors, and hardwiring the motor to the esc. You'll get less resistance which means more power and better run times. Same with the Tamiya connectors, you should change everything to Dean's ultra plugs.

    • @IowaBudgetRCBashers

      I use Tamiya connectors on my vintage Tamiya and other vintage stuff. I keep it old school. My modern stuff uses deans connectors or ec3’s

Unless you’re going big power and going to run it all the time you don’t need bearings. There’s a reason Tamiya doesn’t include bearings in their kits, it’s because the delrin bushings are designed to last the lifetime of normal running of the vehicle. This will only see occasional runs just like my other vintage RC’s so I’m not worried about it at all. Only reason it got bearings in the wheels is because I had some

      @@IowaBudgetRCBashers the super stock motors from have high degrees of timing and they actually are lower turns sport tune and the super stock in their directions say you should have ball bearings in your car with these. Sport teams are not 21 turn motors they are 23 or 24 t and they have no degrees of timing. Believe it or not the super stocks have higher torque ratings than most of. Go to Tamiya to see what turns are each of there motors. Oh and speaking of those plastic bushings they when I had my first hornet. Those bushings melted in my gearbox and I had to buy a whole new gearbox I don't trust them and they should never be used with a higher horsepower motor. This is my opinion.

    • @IowaBudgetRCBashers
      @IowaBudgetRCBashers  7 месяцев назад +1

      To mount the hornet wheels on the radio shack hubs is pretty easy, you trim the top part of the “flower, or you can just get Tamiya wheel adapters.. the hardware kit to put the wheels together was old cpp stuff I got off eBay, but it’s 1.5 mm hardware and nuts. Should be able to get it from Tamiya

      @franklanza836 7 месяцев назад

      Thanks much for the info. The Tamiya website is not very clear on what's in the different hardware kits but knowing it's M1.5 helps a lot. As far as the triming the wheels, I suspected that might be the answer but wasn't sure. Thanks so much for the reply! I ran the Golden Arrow and Red Arrow with my son back in the day. Now I'm going to do the same with HIS son!
