Those PDI's were supposed to be awesome. I have a couple of the turbo zetas that I got on ebay but never used. The heatsink is basically a big cube of aluminum.

Yes, they were the best money could buy at the time. They were used for anything demanding enough. Too bad we didn't have lipos when they were available.

1) 30 years old.
2) 1.5yrs

3) Marui Galaxy (found an add for it on this on the web here:

http://www.vintagercweb.com/ads.html )

I might haves used it for a year or so when I got it (way back when it came out ). Since about Jan. this year I've jumped in head first. Now I've got 3 BL cars and one nitro

BTW: Nice Site Guy's I've already bought a ton of stuff from members here and a few pieces from the sponsors. Still planning my order from Mike.

edit: when checking link in post goto the AYK-Marui-Hirobo-Misc section about 7/8 of the way down to find the buggy.
