For RC crawler peeps

Oh dang another potential bad habit. . . I was on the RC cars game a long time ago. R. R. was the President then. I still have the RC controller from then, I tried to get back at it in early 2000's. To many other things though.

Good ol' 27MHz and 49MHz bands for toys, when you could piss off your friends by having the same RC as them.

Heck my Terrain Twister used the 49MHz band.


You should keep an eye open, I'm getting impatient waiting for the boat to arrive in CA, will only take a week at that point. It got delayed almost 2 weeks after clearing customs. At least I won't be stuck with some stupid "tariff" BS. Such a sham. "Buy american..." when it's produced/shipped from Taiwan, vs produced/shipped from mainland China.

My 450 Enduro was made in China, and other than the retailer in Utah sending me a defective engine (less than 1% produced are defective, and they make engines for HD, BMW, Piaggio, Apriliia, Norton, and more) then refusing to honor their warranty before blacklisting me...it's been just as reliable as my Kawasaki, Subaru, and Toyota have....for 1/2 the cost.


Rant over, back to RC crawlers/trail rigs.

Finally got an update after 2+ weeks of nothing, it's going through customs in CA. Should be here by next Monday, or the 4th at the latest.

Keep your eyes peeled

Oh that might be the band mine is....but I bought it in West Germany in 1989/90 and was compatible with RC aircraft also as all the RC car ones were out of stock. If cellphones / digital cameras would have been smaller then. The controller would reach out there. The base I was on was small but setup with a square road around my units motor pool then around, almost a mile of cobblestone road. I could lose sight of it so I started timing how long it took down the road to a turns. On several occasions I was having to walk around to find where the battery quit or ran into something.
