Without the time to go back and read through what I've missed recently I hope its not already covered but damn, Can't make everyone happy! Damned if AE does and Damned if they don't. Its not just AE also but people beg for years for repops and then when they do repop something it brings out all the...

If anyone wants a CC there's loads of them for sale in the UK and Europe. We've also got plenty of JJ Ultimas and 60th Mids available as well.

And of course built when 3d printing wasn't a thing.
He did give it a run again not so long ago

How exactly does the dual slipper sheet change the settings? This doesn't really tell me if adding that optional slipper sheet will reinforce the reinforced slipper clutch, or if it's what you buy if you're going to stick with a brushed motor. I'm probably going to stick my old 240ST in there &...

The next logical step is to make every new electronic device inoperable UNLESS it is connected to the "internet". Don't ask users of the SmarTap shower control about this. Someone thought having a shower you could control remotely from a phone app or by voice using an Alexa, so you could ...

Not one run, a normal production item. Over here we are already getting a second batch of cars. Still no clear spares though.

This is a bit simpler than your last project :lol: I think every vintage 1/12th collector must have one of these by now. I think Massimo must have found a shed full of them at Mantua Models, the number of these I have seen for sale over the years. There are two options for folding polycarbonate, col...

Good to know, a lot of these pieces of RC history end up being sold off or thrown away. Of course there's plenty of us who would volunteer if she ever wants them restoring.

Kyosho do give you both a brushed and brushless recommendation though. The brushed motor recommendation is to suggest you buy Kyoshos own brand brushed motor rather than a standard one from elsewhere. It's only a 30 turn brushed motor, because that's what Kyosho made to sell as a motor to go in the ...

https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=170661 Most of those parts aren't old chassis, the markings show they are the original templates used to cut and drill the chassis parts. I'm in the same position, I have front and rear end parts somewhere but spares never come up for sale anywhere. If ...

I use 30% nitro fuel, Carson Paint Killer and Tamiya Body Cleaner depending on what shifts the paint. Especially with vintage bodies I wouldn't put brake fluid anywhere near them as it can make the bodies very brittle. I think it was an original Losi truck body I cleaned with brake fluid as a test a...

For the rereleases it's easy, depending on how accurate you want the conversion. You need the OT247 cage set and OT252 wing in the colour of your choice, and the OT251 roll bar, OT250 wing mount. The driver figure is the same as the Turbo. Obviously there are different shocks, wheels and tyres but t...

If you like scale stuff Emotional Rc and Hoon's RC both do amazing videos https://www.youtube.com/@EmotionalRc/videos I follow PopalongRC as they are quite entertaining rc club racers mainly covering modern racing but they do some vintage as well. https://www.youtube.com/@PopalongRC/videos My Graupn...

I really like these and I noticed they just did a re-release. My concern is will there be spares for repair or do they just intend for them to sit on display. I can't help but want a Dirtmaster as well. You'll find most people buying the JJ are buying them to race, as it's nearer a race tuned versi...
