Noticed not to many bolinks on here lol on the rc10talk. Thought I would share one I recently built from a new kit. Tried to use period correct for most.

I wish those decals were still available, I'm not very creative so I'd copy yours :lol:
Now that the Max Q is down to its last couple runs later this month then being retired to the shelf and freshened up for the 24' BOTM....I am starting a new venture...The Guiness Land Speed Record for R/C Rocket Cars...currently held by the Black...
Can anybody tell me the full length of the RJ Speed Legend Diff axle? Picture for reference (ie. the 1/4 threaded axle...not the drag axle). Thanks in advance for any help! RJS5730_A0_P3V4LK3X.jpg

I moved the hub on mine to use it as a 12L axle, but didn't change the overall length. I have it measuring 5.900

The entry in Build of the Month has striked my interest on a new build...using some vintage Bolink/and RJ Speed parts I am going to build a rocket car that will look authentic, be purely ran by the rocket engine/engines....and hopefully run 100mph...
Picked up a Bolink Round Tracker a little while back just to add to the pan car collection. I picked the car up mainly because many of the nylon pieces are engraved with minicars which I believe was a Swedish brand bought out by Bolink, but the fact...
Here's a question for you.
I have a Bolink LTO XL and there's no manual in it. I do not know if the manual got lost over the years or if Bolink even offered a manual for it.
Anyone know if there were a manual for this kit?
I striped the Differential shaft on my bolink pan car. I bought a RJ speed one that looked like it would work but its to short, I cant tell if the little dots in the picture are allen screws so the round part could be moved. Is there any place that...
I've never had a Pan Car but I'm sort of curious and after a little advice from a few of you guys in my Pan curious thread I settled on some (forgotten to me ) middle ground in the form of the Bolink Digger , the Digger was basically a 1/10 Pan car...

I found reasons for some of the rear traction/stability issues , firstly the rear pod bulkheads had cracked around the bearing seats for the rear axle leaving the axle unstable , also the grommets used for the lateral pivot of the rear pod were not...
My Invader MT was looking pretty sad. It wasn't that it was heavily used, but the previous owner converted it to a pan car by trimming the axle and pod down and undoing all the mt stuff. I had a Invader Dirt Oval that was a new built that gave its...

Since everyone is digging up old threads I thought I'd dig this one up :lol:
That little intermediate gear reduction is quite interesting, talk about gear ratio adjustability. Looks like a hinge/king pin as well. I wonder how well that set up will...
Finally got around to start building this fresh out of the box Bolink invader , quite a unusual chassis that I’m used to but it feels solid and great suspension travel .
Lots left to do but loving it so far

Very cool!!! I still have my old 91 Eliminator Sport…one of my favorite cars that isn’t an Associated.
Camino sport 2000
Not touched it , in its 30+ yrs raw form
The body will need some tlc as the OG owner must have pre cut the shell with an old dog bone !
There is a new Facebook page created and it sounds like Bolink is coming back. I believe some of the body molds went to RJ Speed and RC Car Kings, and the Legends platforms went to RJ, but it sounds like the trademark has a new owner. This will be...

This reminds of when DPI tried to come back. One guy got the molds and started it up, then it never went anywhere.
Any one got links to kits for sale?
RJ Speed kits look to be available at Amain & Tower:
We, me and the diamond one have a new appreciation for the Bolink Invader line, including the MT. Nothing to show cause we dont have one. Maybe someone will have one to show.

I've got one with the rear suspension and I think Jeff has a couple.

In situations like this I would buy an ESC that has lots of options for tuning, are you going to run foam or rubber tires?

Just received a Bolink Challenger, or at least I think it’s a Challenger. When I go online and run a search, I don’t see this particular chassis. It has the beige bottom pan and an orange top pan. It’s a 1/12 scale and still has the original msc....
Last post
Thank you, I checked and confirmed it’s a Challenger. I’ve tried to find a manual for it, but with a monumental lack of success. I can see getting parts for it is going to be a challenge. Rather poetic actually lol.
Aside from my Bolink Challenger that arrived a few days ago, my vintage Bolink Eliminator showed up. If I can scrounge the parts, that’ll be my next restoration project. It needs a good washing and I’ll have to get bearings to replace the bushings...

After nosing around, you’re probably correct. The only thing that gives me pause is that my car has those little clear plastic plates, which I assume were where the batteries mounted that I have seen on the Eliminator 10. I guess they played with...
This is gonna be my first project of many I o ow this is a old bolink pan that’s about all I know any information would be great :)))) also I’d love to see other people’s pan chassis stock or custom I love them all

We (Factory Works) reproduce many flat parts. I don’t have that one drawn up currently but I have one to copy in my kit. If you don’t mind waiting, I can have it drawn in the next week or so. Pm me for more details.

Hello. I'm new here. I hate to start off asking for help, but: you guys were recommended to me. I am restoring a Bolink Renegade from the early 80's. This was my first R/C car. Given to me by my father. This Christmas is the 30th anniversary of that...

Sharp looking 1/12 scale Bolink, thanks for sharing!
Just acquired this early Bolink! Very happy to have it and it's in very good shape! Rolling chassis for nitro or electric. I messaged Bob Rule and he says it was the first of their kits. More pics to follow

Curtis posted a few pics of his fathers cars on Facebook and one was this Mach 12. Still waiting to hear if he knows any of the history. I have a couple of those wings too :shock:
Does anyone here have a 1/12 Jerobee Cheetah? I have never seen one for sale and only came across a picture of one from a wanted ad. I understand Bolink also did 1/12 cheetah body as well. I am looking for pictures and information.
Last post
I found one on eBay!! I had to purchase a lot of 5 Jerobees and parts but... I got a original cheetah in the lot.
This one came in a box marked for a dirt tracker II but the tires are from the off road version and it had the proper dirt oval body for a dirt tacker. If it was ran, it wasn't ran much! Lots of dust and improper assembly but otherwise almost all...

Last year, in a big lot of about 18 vehicles that I traded for, one was a VERY barebones Bolink Super T roller with a body. My son loved it at first sight - and I must say, I thought it was pretty cool too)...he's been begging every time he sees it...

I love the simplicity of these early buggies. How are they for durability?
Back then the buggies were pretty slow and the tracks didn't have many jumps so there were not many broken parts other than steering linkage.

Wow that's awesome! An old Cox .15, that would have been interesting on a light car. It was no powerhouse but power to weight should have been good. I'm betting they used a heatsink, clamp on style was popular back then

Need some TLC with fries to go with it. :lol::lol:

Could try the RCCA scans. I think there was a review in there for the Road Pro...though typically pro10-classic.com would have the article for it scanned if there was. :?
One of my favorite RC resource sites. Lots of info on old 1/10 pan cars.

Really cool idea, I saw it on eBay a few days ago. The only thing I'd nitpick would be the wheelbase looks a little too short for that body but it could be just an illusion.
Hello everyone,

Okay, I thought I was missing something. I didn't remember an aluminum chassis. That hold-down looked interesting, but I couldn't figure it out myself. I love the wheels. Just another person who has an old RC that thinks it's worth way more than it...

Hmm, I have a partly assembled Eliminator MT in my basement, I'll have to finish it up sometime. It's really just a pan car with big tires and a gear reduction in the rear.
