well i went to the local swap meet , i sold a few things, and then my buddy came with all his cars,and boxes of junk.
i bought his junk and went broke . i spent $120 .

i got 1 rc10 roller as a project,a rc10gt-T-Goldpan hybrid car project, also got a BUNCH of servos, recievers,old Novack Esc's, 2 reedy motors,and some other motor that has timing marks on it, its a fast one. got a mint condition team car rc10 box, also got a old rc10T that was rtr, its a basket case too.got a bunch of tires,some batteries,rc10L pan car, with a extra body NIP from 1990, and then i picked up a Ascot or BBT sprint car. missing the body and roll cage , but i have one i mite be able to it on it, any way i got the sprint car for $5.00! then i got some new good year foam tires f&r NIP.also got 4 radios with recievers,and an extra rc10gt chassis. i think i got a good deal!! i just got to upload the pics , should have it done before tonite. be sure to check back for pics, should be uploading them here soon, just got to unload the car and put stuff away.

just had no time to upload the pictures. after i upload them to the comp,i gotta get them uploaded to photobucket, then go here.

im uploading pics now,also got updated pics of some of the cars after i did work to them. the black tub car that i got as a junker, i decided to build it up, and i put some electronics that i got in to an old gold pan, but the battery runs out fast and the esc over heats, but its super fast, i think the gearing may be wrong or the motor isnt made for that esc.
im running a old novack with a newer motor, one ive never seen, it has timing marks on it,and a heck of a lot more power.
i was runnig a 12 tooth pinion and a 52 spur gear or a gold pan, stock rc10. shuold have them pics up here in a few min.
sorry it took so long.

i think you got a sweet deal! I'm jealous...you got a lot of stuff for $120.

Just recently I went to my LHS, which is owned by a old rc10 nut, and he let me got through a box of vintage associated parts. He said that he didn't come by people like me too often (another rc10 nut) so he told me to go through the box and take what ever i wanted. I got 1980s parts for 1980s prices :mrgreen:

it kinda messes with your heart rhythm when you actually have your hands in there...rather hazardous really.
