here's the bottom. don't know how old it is but looks like it was made in England. never seen on made in England before

Once upon a time most all Matchbox cars had cool things like opening hoods/doors/trunks.

and springy suspension

here are some JDM Tomica. I think I like Tomica cars the best.

the savanna RX7 has a 1979 date on the bottom. don't know if that was the car model date or the toy manufacturing date

Yes, only the more expensive detailed ones though. pic related is a 964 i have in this exact colour.

no its a plastic 4x4

Get one from Hobbyking, and make sure you know what discharge rate you need.

>>16943887
how do i even know that? some formula?

>>16943898
YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW IT ANON. GOSH.

>>16943898
What sort of ESC and battery do you have? If it's stock, look up what kind of battery it originally came with. 3S is only half of what you need to know, the "C rating" is the discharge rate. It doesn't hurt to get a higher rating than you need if you're not sure, although the higher rated packs will cost more. Also make sure you have a balancing charger if you're using LiPos.

>What sort of ESC and battery do you have?
ESC and motor.

fine but you could just tell me how to find it out

>>16943934
oh and the charger is a hitec X1 mf

mAh x C rating = continuous current draw

So a 3000 mAh battery with a 20C rating can put out a max of 60A continuously (don't worry about peak numbers for LiPos). You then determine the max draw of your motor at 3S voltage, and ensure your ESC is able to sustain that current.

That motor has a max current of 100A, so you want a pack that can support that level of discharge (assuming the ESC is good to at least 100A).

>that beat up

That's worth about $2.00. Spend the $8-15 on one mint in box.
