Old Skool Tamiya guy

Hey guys. I am an old skool RC guy. Still have my Wild Willy I build back in 1982. Been restored a couple times. I elaborate on it's history a little in the Welcome area if you want to read it. He's been through a lot over the past 36 years. Here he is today, runs like he was new. This is my original one, but I have another I bought a while back, but will end up selling it because I have my original one back in the game.

I am currently working on getting a few old cars running and thought I would open up discussion on what old skool esc people prefer to use.

Is it a Tekin, Novak, Ko, JR ????

I plan to run 1700scrc black cells and either stock or light open motors....

I just had a look to see what retro ESC are available. Sorry to bring cosmetics into it, but some of them are fairly lairy colours! Novak in bright orange, LRP in bright blue, etc. When building a specific colour themed retro buggy this is a bit of...

Hi all, I thought i'd post up my vintage rebuild of what was a XX Kinwald edition that I bought new all those years ago - I still have the box too.

This car was raced for one season, and hasn't seen daylight since - sitting in my loft for years,...

Any update to this thread?

There must be some small detail with this build that you've overlooked surely,..... :D

The only thing I have changed is the rear tyres, to Losi sprints. That's it, sorry!

I cant think of anything it needs - maybe some...

I recently picked up a load of nip old spares from an old r/c hobby shop in Melboure. It seems these parts have been forgotten by time. The bags are dusty, the header cards are hard to read with the ink almost drying up off the card and these items...

Hope this is the right forum to post this, but I'm totally psyched about this forum!

I've owned 3 RC10T's since 1991, and up until a few years ago I was running them at least a few times a week. Since I couldn't find any supporting forums for these...

Hello all, I'm a noob to the RC10 world however not new to the RC world. Before a acquired this C stamp gold pan I have been strictly nitro. For some reason this little gold pan has bit me and I am infatuated with getting this thing up and running....

Post a pic, sounds like you have inadvertently moved the axle point in too much with the material removal-

I've been collecting Tamiyas for several years now and thought my collection would consist of them exclusively. Then a buddy of mine said he had an old r/c car he used to race back in '88. Of course I had to look into it! Turned out to be an RC10 in...

Cool! By the looks of things, your not a FNG! Sweet collection and thanks for sharing!

Thanks! This is a great hobby and I've dealt some very cool folks! I think it is great that we can piece together a buggy with parts from all over the world....
