Futaba R603FS Receiver Repair
I was recommended Derek Bailey as someone who repairs Radio Controlled electronics, so decided to contact him to see if he could repair my broken Futaba R603FS 2.4gHZ receiver.
He was happy to have a look, so it’s on the way in a bubble wrap bag with contact details, and he’ll get back to me with a quote.
Fingers crossed.
A friend used him for an LRP Sphere repair and he only changed £15 or £20 or something.
There’s another chap who’s also been recommended, so it seems there’s hope when electronics break!

Ebay Lazy
I found a way of listing Ebay products on a Wordpress blog. I’ll make up some pages of useful searches, stuff I search for regularly. Any suggestions?
For now, here’s some test items, searching on Tamiya Mini

Anything interesting there?

Awesome, hope to see lots more of this sort of thing at the ‘big’ races around the globe in the future.

Miniatur Wunderland!
This isn’t quite Radio Controlled, but it’s definitely model heaven!
Trains, cars, boats and soon planes! Awesome!
I especially like that ‘houses of bad reputation’ are included!

Yokomo MR-4TC BD5 touring car
Shared by simon
My pet Tamiya expert (Ed) pointed out to me that this looks remarkably like a Tamiya 416… And not only the blue!The long top deck, very similar steering arrangements, and suspension mounts etc.
Seems some manufacturers have run out of new ideas. But not all of them, Top Models have been coming up with some jolly interesting ones with their follow up to the Scythe.
The latest version of the MR-4TC touring from Yokomo has been released, the BD5. This car was used by Masami Hirosaka to take 3rd spot at last years World Championships and following some refinement from that car, they have released it to the public. The BD5 is an evolution of the previous model and has been tweaked to make the car more stable and make maintenance easier. This rubber spec car is supplied with a 2.5mm thick carbon fibre chassis, 2.0mm thick top deck, 3.5mm thick shock towers, a front one way and newly designed CVDs.
