Not any more, there was a virtual tour (at least sort of) on the museum site the first month. This is the place most pictures are available.

Re: Bob Stormer, glimpse

Just a comment on your A&L parts. For long I was looking for the fiberglass conversion (RC10C2). Carbon is of course the top kit, but I really like the seventies/eighties engineering aesthetics of the fiberglass. Guess it's part of my love for the old CAT and other fiberglass cars and options fr...

Re: Vintage RC car museum exhibition – Norway

Beautiful displays! :) In fact the display is still in the museum due to popularity :D (from the beginning the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, were going to have the display from May through September 2012).

Re: Cool vintage car radio. Simprop Car Profi

Very nice to see this three channel stick! I used to have one back in the eighties and it was more or less the most costly radio you could buy. Not a good reason to get it, but it was the only race radio with sticks we could get here in Norway. I also had a crazy project connecting the middle wheel ...

Re: Went fox hunting: caught a red one - Hot Trick Tamiya (C

Really nice to see this Red Fox, and the kit box is just sooo cool! The Fox was my first real car, and I soon got a full Hot Trick conversion with RC10 shocks and Thorp drive line (and this, as already mentioned, didn't exactly equal a quantum leap in performance). Actually I was the only one known ...

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread

Anyone recognize these tires? ukntires.jpg Pattern looks like an old IMEX tire but there doesn't appear to be any branding on the sides like an IMEX tire would have. They're mounted on 1.6" wheels. Tamiya 58040 Lancia Rally rear tires: http://www.tamiyabase.com/Models/433-58040-Lancia-Rally.ht...

Re: Serpent 1:10 buggy - future vintage classic?

ooh, I didn't know they went out of business. I thought they were doing well with the S120. How about that other Dutch constructor: Corally? Are they still independent or also taken up by a larger group? PS: another idea if you want to start a future vintage collection today: X-factory conversions ...

Re: Serpent 1:10 buggy - future vintage classic?

Still not vintage, but anyway... Even if this is no news to some of you guys, here is a little note along the line of the CAT K1 post (http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=29085). My guess then was no 4WD shaft drive and gear diff to take over the race winning tradition of Schumachers l...
