Awesome win @Hcp22 - congrats!

(tagging is broken again it seems )

Looking good :) all cars from that era except the RC10 were way oversprung and way overdamped... this, combined with short a-arms is what drove the appalling handling of that era... and one of the main reasons why the RC10 won absolutely everything for so many years. they were the only ones to have ...

Congrats to the winner and big up to second place!

catching up with rc10talk after a few months' hiatus... awesome cars this month! Congrats to all and mega congrats to the winner, superb nitro-powered-belt-driven optima!

Howdy yall long time no speak. Lots of RC as both my kids race with me now, both on- and off-road... we don't race that much, but the amount of prep/maintenance to keep >6 cars running (plus the bashers to goof around in the yard) especially when the yougsters don't understand these things just plai...

It already shows you the ...

in the french speaking world, we had this one:
("tous tes reins" means "all of your back", which is a play on words for "Tout-terrain" - this one means "offroad" )

I love you too, guys

THANK YOU!

(The old school way works too )

All these UK-special goodies are very good. Crazy how many RC stuff came from the Brits, really... and you guys have always been at the forefront of electric RC, why is that btw? Anyways - back to the motor... is this any different to any other Mabuchi (except the sticker, I mean). Yes, it's a seale...

this is such a class-defining car... just like the RC10 bitd, this ruled for a whole decade until the centro, which was using the same suspension. Masteful design by Easton.

Who knew back when I had a pile of these and was giving them away they would be come so hard to come by. I would pay a machinist for a nice aluminum one. In the meantime when you find one run the factory works front brace. You need to get longer pins, LOSA602 and LOSA5017 are options and probably o...
