Kent, if you have time this thread can be used for your 10th scale and speed run cars. Thanks so much for taking your time to show us your collection! The 12th scale thread has been one of the best threads I've read in a long time.

Pretty crazy to think...we are back running on Velodrome tracks again in SoCal :) Now with brushless and lipo - OMG we have to do lots of things to keep them on the ground. Not to mention slow them down. Watched a 'test' speed run car hit sub 7...
When I was a kid, I remember reading this magazine from cover to cover over and over. I was so intrigued by the RC10 monster truck conversions! I think it may be time to build an old school monster truck!
I was hoping to find a digital copy of this issue or at least a copy of the MRP Stage II review. After searching the scans section, I found a few snippets about the issue, but all of the links that I found were 404'd. Can anyone point me towards a...
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE TRAXXAS & RCCA MAGAZINE ORIGINAL CREDIT FOR THE IMAGES, ADVERTISEMENTS AND ARTICLES CONTAINED IN THIS THREAD. :)

OMG The MEMORIES!
When I first was looking at getting RC, I wanted a Hawk, (This was Pre RC10T)
Then when the 10T came out, I wanted an AE, but I have always had a special place in my heart for the TRX-1 and early Traxxas vehicles.
Here's a Futaba ad from a Japanese magazine from 1982. Who's that young guy? Masami Hirosaka :o Masami's first IFMAR Worlds didn't happen until 1986 (1/12th on-road worlds in Las Vegas), but he began competing in Japan at a very young age. Recognize...
Oh yes, the Losi Double-X and XT of racing’s hottest driver, Brian Kinwald. Back in 1996, the Double-X and XT were setting the world on fire, and were the first real leap in buggy tech since the...

I remember I had both if those back in the day. Wish I would have kept them, but I was on a budget and had to sell current cars when I wanted something new.
I have acquired both a nip bobcat and a nip cheetah and started a thread on them here:
Pretty cool cars considering the 1981 dates on the paperwork. If you have pics to add from yours, we would love to see them! I also have learned that Bolink had...
I posted parts of this in another topic, but i was asked to provide the article in full, so here it is :)

Racing a Tamiya Manta Ray :lol: I think that shows how talented the guy must have been! :shock:
To be fair his Manta Ray's were the TRF of their day and eventually you could buy something close as the Top Force - RW did a chassis conversion for the...
I posted some pics of my truck in the other makes/models section.
Fredswain, this may be a long shot, buy I was wondering if you would recognize my truck. The guy I got from said he got it from a guy who used to race in Houston bitd. I also got...

Looks like I will be taking the 6 gear apart for deburring session.
I'm not sure where the writer got that method! I used unmatched Sanyo 1200mah sticks that were charged at 4 amps until hot. Prior to the race I went to the AE factory on Edinger Ave and weighed a bunch of 3 cell sticks on a digital scale to find the...

High guys. I have a boat load of old RC mags, so I thought I'd share some RC10 related articles.
Here's an article about all the different RC10 transmissions. This was written before the release of the first Stealth tranny.

Dragging up the past! :lol:

I didn't have much of a chance to run it BITD. I think I raced it a whole 3 times before my local track folded and it went up in my closet. I'm getting her back in running shape just so I can...
