Looks great! This reminds me I need to start on mine.

What all did you have to replace? I've been trying to decide if I should get all new hardware or use the originals. Any tips?

thanks,
Mike

Finally finished! She came out pretty good I think. Found it's way to eBay as I have too many other projects on the back burner that need to be funded.

Looks great!

Agreed. If a price is fair I normally won't haggle much, although I've been known to work trades when possible. EBay will get you plenty of exposure, but then you have to deal with the annoying fees, etc.

Not sure what's left around here, I believe there are a few indoor tracks but I need to look more into it.

Oh, was this posted on here? I'm not allowed in the buy/sell section yet so I wouldn't know.. :wink: Ironically these were traded for kites.. yes, it's true I have a kite hoarding problem as well as R/C cars, heh. :D Soon as I saw it I was interested, I remembered always wanting one back in the day ...

Got these in a trade recently, still trying to decide which to restore & which to run.. maybe run both? Hoping we have vintage racing in the area.

YZ-10 World Edition? How's parts availability?
thanks,

Hey all,

Wow.. haven't been on in quite some time. I've slowly been making progress on the Bulldog. It's almost there. Recently picked up a couple more vintage R/C's so I've been slightly distracted lately.
thanks,
Mike

I do want to save the tires as they've hardly been used and have 90% tread remaining at least. I may just try using a nylon brush to clean up the excess glue and make them look nice. They were originally glued on a bit sloppy, almost seems like they were glued on covered with dirt, heh. Longshot, bu...

Thx for the info highway, last weekend I quickly soldered everything together (2 black wires front, 1 white wire back) to test run the motor and it was fine. Nothing smoked or exploded, so I figured it was right. :lol: Now onto the wheels. I'm about to try the acetone trick.. just hoping it doesn't ...

Thanks! I has been fun so far, bringing back the good ol' days.

I've tested a small section on one of the wheels with acetone and haven't seen any adverse effects, I'm thinking they're nylon.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of baking them. Any set time/temp for this recipe?

thanks,
Mike

Anyone know if the acetone method to remove glued tires from wheels will work w/the Bulldog wheels/tires? Wouldn't want to ruin them as they've hardly been used, just want to clean up some of the excess CA mainly.

thanks,
Mike

I have one of these practically brand new from back in the day, hardly ever used it for some reason. From what I can remember it would do a quick charge in ~15 min. or so when set up for "fast charge." Depends on how many cells of course and if they're SCR/SCE, etc. This was nearly 20 year...

Hey all, new here on the forum but I was big into R/C in the mid-late 80's. Once I got my driver's license though the R/C's went into storage and were long forgotten, fast forward 20 years later and I've now got the bug again. Back in the day I could never afford a RC10, always wanted one but the cl...

Hey all, I'm new here on the forum.. but not R/C. I was big into it in the mid 80's/early 90's and now after 20 years have got the bug again you could say. I had no idea there was a vintage R/C following until recently, so I dusted off the old collection and started going through everything. As my f...
