Kimbrough Racing Products is out of business after all those years.???

[SrC]

I noticed their website is down for a while. Although its says "Temporarily Closed". Doesn't look good.
Maybe they are revamping their site or starting a new one? Hopefully.
I still see their inventory with many vendors out there. Might all dry up soon. IDK. HD Servos Savers and all, etc.

I better buy some spare spurs for my RC10B2 if that's the case.

 

[SrC]

Yeah that was what I was eluding to.
Better stock up while you can. No one else out there quite like Kimbrough stuff. They were always a staple RC brand in this hobby going back decades.

Yup Kimbrough actually made the spur gears for Associated back in the day.

I kind of suspect they're working on their web site, the main page is just a redirect to itself at the moment.

RRP and Kimbroughs ruled going way back. I had recently got new Kimb. spur gears for my RC10L.

Not good if true! Hopefully a new site!

I always bought direct from Kimbrough. They have nice rubber knurled slip on radio wheels, I use for my Crawler radios.

They still make those? Wow. I had one of those on my old Futaba back in the early 90’s!

They didn't really have much new stuff going on. But there old designs were always in demand. They were an old RC legend brand. Hopefully they are still running. I may try to phone them up or email them. They were big with Pan Car diffs at one time. Spurs, and related parts.
No metal stuff though if I remember. Mostly Nylon parts.
Maybe they just retired, the business and all. Understandably so in this day and age.
They seemed like a very small business, considering what little they had to sell. Their shipping was always fast.

Yep, I ran a kimborough servo saver in my Bolink pan car, my Traxxas Sledgehammer, and my Hawk back in the late 80’s to early 90’s lol. And their gears were top notch.

They were extremely Centric spur gears.

 

[olds97_lss]

I always ran their spurs on my xxx-nt if I remember right. That was my first hobby grade RC over 20 years ago... I went through a lot of spur gears back then. lol!

 

[SrC]

^^^ Yeah that was when plastic gears were the rage, back when. Pretty much still is with light 1/10 stuff.
The logic being they are self lubricating and lightweight. Better performance.
Steel spurs against steel pinions are noisy, yet more durable with high powered, heavy model setups.

 

[Eno]

 

[SrC]

^^^ Awesome find . Pretty cool.
I always imagined Kimbrough having a basic old school Shop like that.
That Servo pressing machine must be like 40 years old.
To think that numerous of my Kimb. SS's came off that machine.

Kimbrough's web site now seems up and running now......
