I couldn't either. I want to check out the counterweights. I didn't see one in the parts listing.

And what the Hell is a "O.S. Bubbleless Clunk"? Maybe that's their secret name for it. lol

I'll bet it's part of the eshaft. The CW anyway.

RC planes would be a cool way to throw away money.

Superrican, Did you ever make the R/C car? I just bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-Tamiya-M...QQcmdZViewItem as a collectible and was thinking of using the spare body in a running car. I was originally thinking about using a brushless motor with a sound generator to make it sound like the real thing.

KINETIK_FD3S, Can you give me any more information on the manufacturer of the kit in your post #12? Then I could just buy the kit and put the 787B body on it. Also, is that a transmission I see in the article? How many gear ratios?
