CP4449, You know Rod will still sell you stuff. He just doesn't do it as a full time gig any more. And he doesn't stock a huge inventory. But he will make you things on order. I just received the F7 A unit kit I ordered from him. It arrived last week. The shipping and crating was of the highest stan...

Thanks for the answers guys. I have heard a lot of guys say that they have burned up 4QD boards. Is this a common occurance. Is this due to overheating. Would it be a good idea to add a larger heat sink and a fan. Oilcan what is the newer motor controller that you bought but don't like as much as th...

Has anybody ever tried to increase the maximum speed of an Iron Pony GP9 or F7. I notice in the manual it says that a 200 ohm resistance from the control pot equates to no throttle/off and 4800 ohms is full throttle. Would using a 10K pot effectively double the maximum speed.

As a result all the paint has come off over time. I am wanting to repaint it using heat proof paint. Do you guys know of any suppliers of heat pr...

I just noticed this morning that this company in the UK sells spikes in various different sizes. If you scroll down to page 5 of the catalogue you will see what I mean

Hi I am not sure about one inch scale spikes. A friend of mine had a box of new unused spikes a couple of years ago but he sold them to someone last year. I am not sure who made them but I think it might have been little engines? I will have to ask him. As for one inch suppliers, there is Lonnie who...
