Re: rere Dogfighter YZ834b coming summer 2024!

I'm glad they are finally going through with rereleasing this after teasing it a long while back, but to be honest, I have no interest in getting one. Too many bad memories and hassles trying to get one to run correctly bitd. Still one of the coolest and most iconic r/c cars ever though! The only re...

Re: New RC Genre

Is there a reason to run the transponder on the rear wing? Does it need to be higher up for the IR sensor? The small ez lap transponders work through a light sensor so the top needs to be visible to the timing system bar. You could place it further forward under a clear unpainted portion of the bod...

Re: Are we ready to add an RC10T ReRe section?

Wow! Well, I've held out long enough and passed on every rere rc10 that has come out, but a rere rc10t would be a must have for me. Always had used or hand me down rc10's bitd, the 10t was special to me being the first "new" kit I ever owned and got mine back in '91. Definitely keeping tab...

Re: RC10CC classic clear wait list....

They're celebrating 40 years, so some kind of short arm car was almost a given. What comes next is the real question. I really hope its not a clear version of the world's car. One clear car kit is enough. Another past driver version would be cool, halsey, even a cliff lett version with fluoro red c...

Re: What was your first RC experience?

From what I remember, it must have been late '87 or early '88, I was still in elementary school and my dad let me drive his fairly new tamiya blackfoot with a futaba magnum sport radio in the backyard. It was my first time driving anything rc. He taped a small block of plastic behind the trigger to ...

Re: RC10CC classic clear wait list....

I don’t think thing the final price of $400 is that far off…considering all the special production and materials. The JJ Ultima is right there too at that $390. I felt $319 was about right for the rc10cc since it was being advertised as just a display piece. If they wanted $400 for a rere rc10 kit ...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - November 2023 ** - Winner - jcwrks

I like that grave digger body on Brayduns gt. I had that body in the 90's on an MT converted rc10 with lunchbox wheel/tires/adapters that got served some major thrashing bitd. Otherwise for me it had to be jcwrks' rc10. That car has pretty much every part I remember drooling over as a teen when I us...

I love the javelin and yours looks great! I have a rere optima I'm also currently building up to be a javelin runner. I noticed you have all the gold metal parts, did you start with a rere turbo optima and convert it?

Reedy non-rebuildable 24* stock motor timeline?

I ran stock truck the most in the early to mid 90's and just for kicks I was trying to remember which 24*, 27-turn, NON-rebuildable stock motors Reedy stuck their labels on and what year they came out. I think this is all of them, If you guys remember when they were released, or have any pics of you...
