I picked this up on ebay since i am always having to test out steering servos to see if they work or not. this way i can test the servo’s without turning on a radio. this tool can also be used to center a servo to its neutral position. when building a car that is something that has always been a pain to do without hooking up all the cars electronics and having a charged battery handy.

testing the item was fun. it worked flawlessly. the only issue i have with it is the led’s that they put in it when making it. they are simply just too damn bright. when looking at the device you can not read anything on it because of how bright the led’s are. i see a piece of electrical tape coming in handy for this thing.

all in all the device is great. works like it should. makes life easier. and looks cool to boot. i recommend that every one should have one in their pit box.

my 4 year old son is having trouble driving his rc10l in the parking lot next door. the problem is how easy the car spins out. a little bit of throttle and it’s doing donuts. now i have tried different tires. i installed the smallest pinion gear i own on it. i installed the largest spur gear i own on it. still even with a 27 turn stock motor the car can find no traction. and it’s not just his driving skills. i myself have trouble getting it to not spin out.

well i figured out something that just may be the solution. use a 65 turn lathe motor in it. the motor should do the trick and make the car drivable without just spinning out. and as another bonus the motor should last a whole lot longer. thus making the car fun for him to drive and bash around. and if for some chance the car still likes to just spin out i will just start loading it down with an insane amount of stick on wheel weights. this car will stop spinning one way or the other. i’ll see to that. lol

my vintage rc12l arrived in the mail today. i wasn’t expecting the associated rc12l box to be included but it was. i’m surely not gonna complain about that one bit. anyway. i picked this car up to use with the vintage bolink indy car body i bought a while back. in the pics you can see the uncut body sitting on the car so you may get an idea of what it could look like when i finish her up.
