Re: 1:14 BMG C308 Excavator improvements
Some great progress there Blender, it's looking real good. I like the size of the little ESCs you are using. Can you tell me where they are from as the photo is too blurry when I zoom in to read...

Re: So are we still alive on this forum?
Welcome back, glad to see you return. Unfortunately, as you've noticed, the site is nowhere near as active as it was a few years ago. There are a few regulars as Blender noted. I try to check in...

Re: What happened?

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
I honestly don't know if anyone makes a car today that can be imported or driven in the USA that is available with a manual shift. If there is one it is probably such a cheap POS that I don't think...

Re: MFC01 + Carson reflex radio
The Carson web site says the radio is fully compatible with both Tamiya MFC units. Looks like it has analog style trims which is what Tamiya uses to switch between various functions of the MFC.

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
