I was given a box of old RC car stuff about 13+ years ago by some dude that was dating my aunt and used to race them out in the Dallas area. I am just getting back into the hobby and was just curious what i had.

Looking around what I had running out of that box looked a lot like theTamiya Rough Rider. I used to run that thing all over the place. But it had a servo for the acceleration, that had a metal arm with a lead tip on it that had a wire connected to it and slid back and forth across something that had metal contacts on it, this controlled the acceleration / reverse. Anyone know what this was called? Maybe even give a rough date range for something like this?<br type="_moz" />

You are thinking of a mechanical speed control.

Well thats pretty dang logical eh? Wish I knew what I did with all that old stuff...

have you been thinking about that for the past 13 years, jeez, when you take your time you really mean it.

Thedemon18

Nah, been distracted... I blame it on alcohol, women, and work. Not necessarily in that order.
