I can’t believe you didn’t have a spare esc 😮 I bought half a dozen a year or so ago when they were really cheap and still have four left, I gave one to my grocery delivery driver for his daughters lunchbox and he was so happy to get it going again, nice video Steve 😊
Nice job Steve. I've had to make a list of which RC's are on my 3 Flysky transmitters because I can never remember. I keep it on my computer and when I want to run an RC I check it to find the one I need to use. I've also had to make lists for where I actually keep all my transmitters, and my RC's. I have so many now I store them wherever I can find space, and the older I get I find it harder to remember where they all are. Especially if I haven't used one for a while! This caused much panic before I made these lists 😂
I just bought my FIRST 1080 for one of my rigs. heard so much about them and never needed one till now. lol For the price you just can't go wrong. Nice work there Steve. Thanks for sharing
HW 1060 at 20 bucks is a great value for these old buggies. I run one in my Hornet and it actually extracts more power out of the sport tuned motor than the tamiya tble-02. No restrictions on motors compared to the tamiya also. You could run a 13.5T on it if you wish.
Good work Steve 👍👍 and it a great car no matter what , even compared to newer cars nowadays the Hornet is still a legendary car. It cements a place in history when kit cars were King on the race track and ready to run cars were basically toys. Nowadays though it is reversed and ready to run cars are very high performing but they still lack soul. I think it's like basically taking a car or truck out of the box and charging a battery then driving it. Kind of soul less to me. Even though I own a couple of Kyosho Fazer Chevy Camaro Z28.i still really enjoy putting together a Tamiya kit. I just brought a Tamiya Fox and built it 2 days ago. Only 2 issues with it. 1, the number sequence on the decal sheet is confused and I had to make mistakes to apply the decals taking off decals only to place them correctly and the tyres and wheels are an issue as is the rear drive shafts and the motor wires. I'm trying to find replacements for the rear wheels and tires because I want them preserved and staying brand new. I tried 2 different set from Louise , the phantom tyres and Spider tyres and they don't work because they rub the rear suspension arms. The rear drive shafts seem to have too much play , like they can be wiggled back and forth laterally by around 1.5 mm . Feels sloppy. And I put a faster motor in but the motor wires are too short and needed to be lengthened to reach.all in all though the fox has come out beautiful absolutely spectacular. Do you have any Fox builds and videos? I'd be very interested to see . Great work again Steve 👍👍
I agree the hornets a beauty and has been for so long that's why they still make them today! As for your fox I only put a original one together for a friend when I was like 15 years old, For decals you can use like windex spray the body or back of the decal and it wont stick to the body and you can move it around a bit and then wipe the windex off with a paper towel, or cut out decals and just cut a small section of the backing off on the end of the decal so you can slightly stick the small sticky end section in place and push down the decal and adjust it so it lays in the correct position and when it does leave the end stuck on the body and peal back the backing and the decal should go in place perfect the way you lined it up. drive shafts lose if it uses dog bones you can space them and take slack out by use a rubber O ring in the drive cup end then put the dog bone in... can also cut some nitro rc fuel line to size and do it also. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Gotta agree with ya Steve, those 1060 ESC's are now my goto ESC, especially at the price. Great to see the Hornet up and running again! 😎👍
Couldn't agree more! 1060 always for the win! Thanks Mark
Great job Steve, time to get her out
Yep this time she won't break down on me hopefully! LOL!!!
Nice transplant Steve! Gotta love the 1060!👍😊
I love it! Thanks HD!

Hi I did have a few but the stock tamiya kind I don't like them too much though. 😁👍 Great you helped somebody out. Thanks man!
Great update and looking forward to seeing it running again.
You and me both! Thanks
the 1060 is my go-to ESC. I wish we has a great ESC like this back in the day for as cheap as these are! Most of them back then were $60 and up!!
Yep don't know how they make them so affordable now! Sent your package out today! Thanks Addam.
@@ShenRC awesome! Thanks Steve!
The 1060wp is my go to ESC as well, no set up really just the jumpers.
Yep nice and simple! 😁👍

Good choice! they make great esc's!
Yeah with all the guys using them for a while now? It was an easy choice. Have a good one@@ShenRC
The 1060 and 1080 are my go-to esc. you can't beat them for the price
agree 100% thanks.
Great video and fix
Thanks 👍
Hi there Steve, looks like the Hornet is alive again 😊😊should really shift too with the better ESC and that 21T motor. Best wishes 😊
We shall see! Thank you

Yeah I had the tamiya esc's but I don't like them nothing beats a 1060! Thanks for looking.

I'll have to check out that esc sounds like a good deal
Yep great deal for sure! Thanks bud.
I use the 3m double face foam tape that’s like 13.00 for a small roll. It sticks to everything lol
You have to try the clear stuff it the best stuff ever! ... 😁👍
I’m pretty sure that’s the same esc that jd pasl put in the Kyosho beetle I got from him. It works great
Yep they are awesome! Thanks man!
Have seen the new bt01 from tamiya?
Yep sure did! 😁👍
Lol grab the wrong radio all the time
I know it's crazy!! Thanks
