Re: Tamiya 3 Speed..... Love It or Hate It?
Stock Tamiya trans can be modified with a longer shaft to make it AWD. Got mine from Semi Joe a couple of years ago. I used a RC4WD reduction unit between it and the motor. Works great.

Re: Dump trailer slams into bridge!!

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
Been pondering this... I was looking at Test #4 and you said it was delivering 3000 cc/min at 220 PSI, in neutral. I don't understand that with the valve in neutral the system is loaded so much. ...
