HOW-TO: Center Your Servo and Eliminate Bump Steer in the Tamiya ORV R/C Chassis
The Tamiya ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) chassis, like many vintage and (rere) re-release R/C cars, trucks, buggies, has a non-centered servo mount which causes many steering problems in the Subaru BRAT truck, Lancia 037 Rally car, and the Frog buggy.

What are the Best Replacement Bumpers for Tamiya Grasshoppers and Hornets?
If you are truly bashing your Tamiya 1:10th scale Grasshopper, Hornet, Grasshopper II, Super Hornet, or Rising Fighter R/C buggy, you need something better than the stock bumper to absorb that kinetic energy. And with TBR (T-Bone Racing) out of business with a zombie site that only steals your money if you try to make an Basher Bumper order, what does material science say is the best bumper for your vintage or rere re-release Tamiya radio-controlled model vehicles?

Why Silicone Oils and Greases are Superior to Mineral Oil Based Oils and Grease
Many oils and greases are mineral oil based and are not only inferior to the superior silicone based oils and grease, but mineral oils can literally destroy your radio-controlled car, truck, buggy, jeep, van, bus, or tank, cracking, melting, or exploding your gears, gearbox, dampers, chassis, etc.. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we explain the chemistry, physics, and material science that makes this so for R/C model vehicles.

If you added either the Parma International Front Mono-Shock or the CRP (Custom Racing Products) Dual Vertical Shocks to your vintage Tamiya ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) chassis R/C model vehicle, such as the Frog, Subaru BRAT, or Lancia 037 Rally Car, you know that they leak like a sieve.

Is Radio-Control Properly Abbreviated as R/C or RC?
Radio control used to be known as R/C in it's abbreviated form throughout most of the twentieth century. However with the rise of RTR (Ready-To-Run) radio-controlled vehicles like those made by Traxxas, Losi, and Arrma, the abbreviation of RC started to be used. Why did this change in abbreviated nomenclature happen and who to l do many companies like Tamiya and many in the vintage and rere (re-release) radio-controlled hobbyist community still prefer R/C over RC? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we give you all the many reasons for this. [NOTE: Because both R/C and RC are pronounced the exact same way, we pronounce them the exact same way in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. We actually found it hilarious talking about how things switched from R/C to RC with both terms sounding exactly the same. We hope you will get a kick out of it as well.]

What are the Safest LiPo Batteries for Your R/C Model Vehicles?
While we at the RC Deep Dive podcast do not use LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries in our Tamiya vintage and rere (re-release) radio-controlled model vehicles, preferring NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride) and LiFe (Lithium Phosphate) R/C batteries instead, we know some listeners want to do so, but only with the safest LiPo batteries available. So in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we investigated the two absolute safest LiPo options available for your vintage and rere Tamiya radio control cars, trucks, buggies, jeeps, vans, busses, and tanks.
