RC46. My Memory Having RC Car. My Simple RC Tools Box and other RC Gadgets needed.

I have one blog writen my RC tools box but accidentally deleted. Now i redo again, My RC tools box is simple not too fancy and expensive. My big tools box buy in Ipoh Jaya Jasco for RM60. Yellow colour, have a top compartment and 3 small drawers. It for my starter box battery, tyre, Tools ect.

This is nitro fuel with 16%, Begining colour like new nitro fuel, due to always open the vaper slowly gone, it very difficult to start the engine. So i just pour out to a mineral water bottel and keep at a cool side for nealy 5 years un open. On April 2020 i take it out, a lot of changes the nitro fuel become yellowish and at bottom there is layer of oil i thing the 2T. Smell still nitro fuel, there no more vaper come out after open the cap.

At the bottom, a layer of oil casto oil that add in act as lubricant to moving parts. I will keep this bottle another few years see what will happen..

I have a crazy idea starting when i play RC. Every time i buy parts, at the top packing is the part name card, i always keep it even it a small card. I will Wright the date at back and prince or the parts name that didn't mention. In my computer i have all thr list that i buy and the price. This because i want to now how much i already spend in playing RC. From 1995 to 2020. Not 100% correct but i thing 95%, some time maybe forget to key in. Even some buying receipts i still keep.

I put it in a plastic folder bag. In 2019 i still have a big stack but can't put in anymore.

This from kyosho from lhs blue is all for my kyosho spider. The rest v one till FW06

Not all parts i buy from a same brain. Examples fuel filter is costly original from Kyosho so i will buy more cheeper from other manufacturers.

some of this parts buy for my modification. Like Q world they mostly sale colours aluminium servo horn.

HY cheap parts from China

Even just a small paper regarding the parts i will keep it.

Another 100++ more not yet separate.

My Lipo Low Battery Buzzer. It for 1,2,3,4S. If 2S battery full charge the green light will light up 2 led, if below mean low battery. The 3 week +, of stay at home because Covid 19 in Malaysian 11/4/2020 extended another 2 more weeks till 28/4/2020. So take out this Buzzer and do a casing from aluminium. Make a box that can put in this Buzzer. The finishing not that nice. If found a small plastic box i will replace it.

The original casing a rubber tube as protect the circuit and 2 buzzes with loud bip sound. The rubber cover loose so i remove and check and found out some terminal corroded with white powder. So i brush it off. Both end not cover so moisture or dust will enter.

The conector from battery to the buzzer pin.

2 Green led mean full charge. For 2s battery, if 3 green light is for 3s battery.
