Hi all,
I've decided to restart my R/C career after dabbling with a Tamiya Madcap and Schumacher Procat as a kid and teenager. I got the Procat out of my mum's loft today and took the electrics off it... I'm planning to sell it as it is (works fine, all though tranny, diffs etc. not dismatled for a very long time, and shocks need refilling) complete with original schumacher box and instructions.
I bought the Procat second hand with all electrics etc in around 1993, so I guess it was already a few years old - when were they introduced? Bosscats were already on the market when I got it.
I ran the car for a couple of years (mostly messing around and raced a couple of times). I never changed any of the equipment, so I still have all of the same stuff -
Tekin 310 Esc (anyone know about these?)
Futaba Attack R 40FM Tx (plus original old school box)
Futaba 103F Micro Rx
Futaba 148 servo (still crap and made today I see
)
HPI Modified motor - no markings and I've never taken it to bits to see the wind.. very quick though
I'm contemplating keeping the radio gear for my new car whilst I keep a look out for a 2nd hand 2.4Ghz set. Do you think the Futaba Tx and Rx would have changed much in 16 or so years? I see they still make similar products...
Good to see there's a market for vintage stuff, so I'll probably put this all on ebay soon to try and get a few quid (I have a few random spares too like ball joints, turnbuckles, anti roll bar, springs, wheels etc). Any idea what it might all fetch?
If anybody on here's interested, let me know.
Cheers
Dom
