Gosh, it's a long time that I do not update my blog! I guess that mostly depend by the fact that is a long time I don't grab a screwdriver to build a new car or to take care of one of my Tamiyas and by the fact that my TA project has reached the building step I like less: masking and painting the body (I get my best results painting buggies bodies).
However RC never leaves my thoughts and I've spent this months in deeping my poor knowledges about brushed motor (that I love mosty of every vintage RC stuff) and purchasing some new and used motors to widen my little collection.

This brand new LRP is destinated to my TA01 project |

A Yokomo Wing 4 motor... I forgot turns 😅
|
|
This magnificent Cam Super Modified, it's supposed to be a 12 turns |
|
Last but not least this unknown Parma Yokomo Modified |
Of course every motor I buy could be used in one of my cars but some of my recent additions need a lot of love to perform well again so I've surfed the Web (www.rc10talk.com mainly) looking for infos to take care of them. Surprisingly between adding motors to my collection and looking for information I've found a comm lathe at a bargaing price (considering the price I've seen around the Web) So I could not resist!

It's a Trinity Tru-Lathe and I got it for a very low bucks |
The search of tips and trick made me understand the importance of a took I've ignored the existence till today: a brush hood alignement tool... and of course I've bought one.

It works both for stand-up and laydown brushes hood |
