No joking, my buddy just dropped off his vintage 1986 Tamiya Hornet and Futaba Magnum JR for me to try to bring back to life. Actually, I saw in a recent RC Driver issue that Tamiya just reissued this thing!!!
It needs the shocks rebuilt and some wheel bearings. I'll put a little better motor in it and a fresh battery. I need a cheap ESC. Anyone got one for sale? Anyone have any old parts? Ideas?

It's a "The Hornet" It's my buddies but he wants me to get it up and running for him. He wants to give it to his 4 year old nephew. I think the kid is too young. Maybe I can get my buddy hooked on R/C again!! That's my master plan......
Slim, I'll ask him about the ESC. He'll probably take it.

Ok guys, glad that I could take you down memory lane. Now, who has a cheap used ESC for sale to put in this thing?
Actually my first RC truck was a Kyosho Big Boss.

the Duratrax streak is only $35 at Al's ...it can go to 8 cells and a 10T motor. But it has no reverse. It's more or less a budget race ESC.

Gabe, thanks for the info but I'm thinking of something used that handles 6-7 cells w/reverse for $25-30 shipped.

I had a Hornet. It was my second R/c. My first was a Tamiya Super Champ. All aluminum and fiberglass! A tank! I sold my Hornet for a Kyosho Ultima which I still have.
Oh, sorry, i dont have a spare esc, but the hornet was made to use a manual speed control anyway. Just jump the motor to the battery and let her rip LOL!

The dynamite Tazer is good to a 19 turn motor is a forward and reverse and is about 30 bucks brand new. I highly doubt a 4 year old will be using anything but a stock motor for years.
Also you might think about making 4 cell packs for the kid so he can learn much faster.
