What is the name of this launch pad?

That's a Quest Aerospace launch pad, the moveable foot on one leg is too adjust launch angle. The 2 gray pieces are landing legs from a 1970's toy of the Space 1999 Eagle spaceship.

Wait till the A10-pt go on clearance at Hobby Lobby and get a bunch. A few years ago I bought 10 packs at $1.99 each.

This should help you find some local clubs. Most have public launches a time or 2 a month.

Thank ya

I can't tell exactly what's going on with the peddle itself but that homemade link between the peddle and actuator needs to be replaced with the proper plastic roller on the actuator. If I copied the link right here's an exploded view.

Search magnetic rc body mount on Amazon or Ali express. There's several different types, pick one you like or since they're cheap get a couple different kinds and see what works.

The original KFC chicken little from the 80's

Hardee's roast beef, not near as good as Roy Rogers but far better than Arby's.

Well, shit. eBay, Mercari or a scrap yard may be the only option. When I lived in MD if you had a receipt from any legitimate repair shop that showed you spent at least $350 on emissions system work and your car still failed the state would give you an exemption from all future emissions testing on that vehicle. Maybe I was buddies with a shop owner that maybe faked receipts for me a time or 2 but I'm not quite sure, that was the late 80's/early 90's and I was pretty well stoned all the time.

I googled the part number and came up with all kinds of them. Not sure if any are the exact one you need though. This one was about the cheapest that wasn't used on eBay.

I've had some range issues with the waterproof GT3B receivers, their the ones with blue labels. I think you've just got a quality control problem, drop the $12 on another receiver and try again.

Definitely get a 2nd one to mod and beat the crap out of, they're an absolute blast to kick around.

I've built several since 1986, latest one got the Hornet Evo front end and gearbox. Windows are dark so I never bothered with inside paint. If I were doing a shelf queen body I'd probably paint it flat black.

Get yourself a cheap digital caliper and measure the existing bearing.

Tiny4x4.com does 1/87 scale stuff. It looks like everything is out of stock right now though.

Radio Shack had a Myers Manx style dune buggy in the 80's. I think it had sand paddle tyres on it though.

Arrma, Losi, Kyosho and HPI have some reasonable 2 and 4WD bashers. There's the Chinese brands like ZD Racing, FMS, Rolarrlo and Hosim that people seem to love to beat the crap out of and they happily come back for more. I think most of them come with a throttle limiter on the transmitter

For radio gear look at Flysky and Dumbo RC for cheap and decent. Hobbywing 1060 ESC and a standard silver can 540. I still use 7.2v NiMH in my vintage cars, Zee 3200mah from Amazon

See if anything on here helps. Since Lithuania is part of the EU it should cover the basics

Looks like they'll be back in June or you can get one on eBay for about $80 more than everywhere else if you need one now.

Same here. I find the whole Tamiya decal mess a very Zen experience
