Thanks...really enjoyed looking through those, great link.

Sorry scr8p, missed your post.

This question has probably been asked before, but would they ever pursue the "retro" route with some classic re-issues....it's worked for some.

I bought this a couple of months ago through ebay from a guy in the states. I did post some pics on here when i received it and heres some of it now. It only needed a little cleaning up. The shell is a bit scruffy and still needs a little trimming ( and, err ...paint obviously) but I'm quite pleased...

I took an interest in those too, but not to the point of bidding so don't worry. :wink: Funny as I was going to put a post on here too as to why such a high price.....these are obviously truely rare.......or is somebody about to open a box full of them ??? Please don't tell me the dogbone driveshaft...

Once again I must heap praise upon you.....Cheers


I don't suppose you know what this weeks six lucky numbers on the lotto are do you ?

Thanks for that aconsola.

Thats spot on......I probably would have found that out the hard way. I think its time I did a search for some build instructions

I think this is a more stupid question than even I first thought. The front stub axles have hex's on them ( I should have looked a bit harder ). I suppose its OK to just take them out of the steering block if thats what its called. I'm more used to tamiya's and on those its all one piece. Can anybod...

This might sound like a silly qustion but here goes. :roll: I've got some white plastic parts soaking in a tub of washing up liquid/water at the moment but didn't really know whether I should put the front stub axles in. Will I end up making the metal stub go rusty or should I just not worry about i...

Thanks Asso_man!


Hello Timbo......oooooohh...if only they were white.

I see your from York, do you enter the vintage series they run there? Might even be tempted myself for a one off visit depending on the rebuild and wether a clubmate digs his old "cat" out.

Thanks for replys.

The Viper shell I have for this is not really my first choice of shell, I really prefer the earlier, funkier shell but I'm afraid I don't know what its called or whether it will fit ??

Does anybody know ?( silly questions I really should know the answers to, sorry )

My first r/c car was a tamiya hornet and I loved it.......until I raced it after about 6 months of bashing and realised how poor it really was. That was the first time I saw an RC10 go round a track, must have been about 1986.

My first gold tub arrived today and I must say I'm not disappointed. It only needs a bit of cleaning up and a new battery holder but I think thats it, unless you guys can see anything obvious that I can't. I have a new viper shell to go onto it,not sure on the paint scheme yet. Its only a little scu...

Having said all that ..........I'm in.............Thanks

Hi All :) I'm here too and have applied for access to the buy/sell area through the ebay contacts. Do you need to do this and have 25 posts as that dosen't seem to be the way the rules in the access procedure post state. Personally I'm not too bothered as at the moment I have nothing to sell and my ...
