Out dated RC stuff, who has some?!?!

[tarafied1]

Who among us has old RC stuff? I know they still race and sell RC stuff but they have brushless motors and super high tech radios and stuff that makes the old AM and even FM radios obsolete. I used to have boxes of crystals so I could run any frequency. Now they auto search for open frequency and have programmable throttle control and all kinds of cool stuff.
Here are a few pics of my old junk. We raced Monster Trucks and often were invited to Monster Jam events to entertain during intermission or while people came in to sit down before the show. We even got to be part of the pit party. I also did some RC truck and Tractor pulls

I still have this stuff! Motor lathes, radios. battery building crap. Stuff to build shocks, oil, valving, etc. boxes of tires, bodies, motors, axle parts, gears, etc. etc. Most of it I can't sell because nobody uses them and the type of truck/tractors have evolved and changed too so my stuff would be no longer competitive. Some trucks I sold that are now shelf queens but I have most of it. Thousands of dollars that I probably could only get pennies on the dollar and some stuff would just have to give away or toss. BUT, it was how I spent time with my boys. I built and raced before getting married, then as they got older we did it together. Until 2004 when we moved to KY and there were no races close to us any more. It's all been moth balled since then!

Very cool stuff. I dabbled for about 5 minutes in the brushed motor non lipo battery stuff.

yeah the lipo batteries were just starting to allowed in our events as I got out. Never had any. The brushless took over just after I got out, None of those either! The new guys don't even know what a motor lathe is!
