RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Finally, after 1 week of waiting my order on RC10 parts had arrived. There, I was surprised why the big carton box!?

ya know when some tires wil just NOT get onto the rims?? Just too hard to stretch em on?? Boil a pan with water and drop one in.. Wait a minute and take it put.... BE VERY CAREFUL. The tire will be very hot.. Make sure the water is drained from...

Needing Shock Oil , mostly for T3s and other AE (MGT, DS, yada, yada), but also own Traxxas (Rustlers, Street Sports, REVO). So, what do we get? Can one be used in place of the other, and maybe not be vice versa?
I know its not a vintage question,...

I figured I would show the mess as it is right now during all these builds I am completing. How many RC10s can you count? The stock JRX2 build is the one lower right sitting on the box, hope to have that one done tomorrow.

Have a safe night, the...

This is sweet! Found on rc10b4.com, but it really belongs on this vintage site lol. I'm linking it cuz I don't wanna steal any credit from the original poster who deserves it for having this vid. Anywayz, watch the master Masami do his...

WAOW :shock: :shock: :shock:

Im sure the dementions will depend on this or that. The only thing I know is we will mostly be running 1/8 and 1/10 whatever . Maybe just tell me about the largest and smallest youve been to and which you like for running what. Heck, whatever you...

Donno if anyone has found this stuff yet, but Steve Rule popped back up on eBay under a new username and is clearing out a lot of his old stock at really cheap prices. I'm aiming in on that Firebird Latemodel with Bob's name on the window, but I got...

Hi guys and girls,

I have to refurbish some of my alloy wheels and also ream out the rear wheel's axle hole to a slightly larger diameter.

I have heard that its possible to mount them on a lathe for polishing and I was wondering how to mount...

Hi guys,
I've found this really cool vintage body here in Japan.
It's called 'cyclone' and it's an aftermarket body for the Tamiya Boomerang.
I can't find anything on the web on this brand Volks .

Did anyone ever come accross another model by these...

Anyone remember these?
I don't throw much away, which is good and bad...
But sometimes I find some interesting things because of it. Like these things:

After finally remembering what they are called, I googled them and found this auction .
It...

I planned to set a small piece of lexan in silicone under the body to prevent further damage. Any other suggestions?

Also I would appreciate any info as to where I can find this 87 F150 body.

For me it is mostly favorable memories and the fun of finding vintage stuff in good shape.
...But the new stuff is just as interesting to me. The engineering and quality of the new kits is amazing. My Losi MF2, for example, is the finest piece of RC...

Think i got burnt out on monster trucks for a while but hope i can get things rollin for the rc10 market with somethin.You never know with this wacky mind of mine lol,DON

Hi guys,

The J Concepts wings are very popular for racing over here in the UK, but are very hard to find at the moment. Does anyone know a good place to get them in the US that will ship to the UK?

Cheers,

Anyone remember Jeepinator(sp?) from the RCCA forums? He was a huge ae fan, and I still remember him buying the first production graphite RC10, and he had many other sweet RC10's. Man I was jealous of him. And Im also jealous of many on these...

The JRX2 post got me thinking about this...... I would like your opinions on this one. I think that there is no doubt that a repo would be defined as a body made from a reproduction mold which came from an existing body.

But, what would you guys...

somebody posted this over at ct,

Look what I found. :D

This weekend was ACE. Stu & Carrie arrived at our’s on Friday Tea-Time and we had Chinese takeaway. Carrie & Julie had some noodley stuff, Stu had Sheeeeeezan Beef and I had chips (I’m a fecking fussy eater ya know). Moss, Ash & Kat were playing out...

Can someone explain to me the benefit of having Ads by Google on your site? Not that I have a problem with it, I have been intreged by them and thought maybe I should do the same on my website. Is it worth it? Thanks!

Hoopty/Mel,
Is there a RC10talk logo other than the hazard logo that I can use for a link to this forum? This will go one of my personal websites. If not, I will use the one that is listed and improvise on the text. Thanks!

WOW, did you guys see the end of Alex's MIP conversion auction. That's just plain nuts. If my memory serves me right, he bought that on a BIN for $350.00.... did not touch it for like a year and a half, then it pushes $1000. WOW. I need to offer one...

Does anyone know where I can get parts list for Hot Trick parts with part #.

Thanks for any help.

I have a couple of new and uncut original Premier/Twister dirt oval wedge bodies, and after searching for more of the last 7 years or so, I haven't had much luck acquiring more. I have a feeling that the supply of NOS bodies out there is drying up....

I sent rpm an e-mail about re-issuing some of their old parts and making them in the dyeable white nylon. this is the response I got:

Dear Jason,
It may seem to be a popular thing to restore older RC10's, but i'm afraid it's not a PROFITABLE...

Ok, in my ever increasing efforts to overcome my ADD, I have been contemplating what it would take to begin a national organization for vintage RC racing. As much as I would like to think that I'm going to get the opportunity to race anything...

Pro-line Trac-ta-gators anyone remember those?I have a bad pair and I need another

I'm seriously considering adding an RC18 to my collection. (buggy or truck)
I just think these are super cool. Tiny and 4wd sounds like a lot of fun.
I'd like to hear from other people who have these. I'm wondering if I should get a new one or get...

Has anyone any good tips on how to get original white parts clean and white again? Acetone and Bleach don't work! :shock:

I find it very difficult to search for vintage RC10 parts, is there a way to look at all the parts for a certain car?

Cheers,

Well, not exactly local hobby shop. I drove about 40 minutes to get there, but it was worth it. I saw a shop with old stuff up on ebay, and found out it wasn't far away. So, I drove up and came back with this. Not the greatest score in history, but...

Well, after a weekend of doing important stuff, cleaning, painting, bike riding, etc, I decided to finally take my runner out for it's first real run. I built it up this winter. It's a totally loaded gold tub with a 14T Speed Gems motor and a Super...

Have any weird RC10 stories?

I've got one. In NYC there are people, some homeless, some not, who set up blankets on the curb on the sidewalk and sell various junk. Sometimes it's bootleg DVD's of movies that just came out in theaters, shoes,...
