The charger finally arrived. Took the #ta02 out for a spin now that I can charge the new batteries. Even with the nearly 20yr old mechanical speed controller and motor it still is fun to bash around outside. I definitely need to get new tires on it and fix the steering. Wants to pull to the right.

One day I might pick up a #radiomaster #mt12 for this. Until then I'll use the pocket while I get more drone sim time in.

The fun adventure of trying to figure out where to buy 1/10th tires for my old #tamiya #ta02 #rccar is turning into a fun challenge. I don't need foam or drifting tires, just something to burn through on the asphalt outside.

Found some sites local to πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦, but nothing online local to the west coast. Probably need to hit up some local hobby shops this weekend.

Updating my very old #tamiya #ta02 to using modern components.

Changing out the AM receiver for a new #elrs one. It is crazy how small the new digital hardware is.

Next up, replacing the old mechanical speed controller with an electronic one.
