RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Hello everyone,
I've been collecting for about a year now and have been reading (ok trolling lol) for about the same time. Figured it was time to create an account as I have begun to be serious about collecting. I currently have 4 gold pans, an RC12l, and 2 10T. Also, some random Tamiya stuff and my very first RC (which I found minty with box!!) A Sears super lobo II. Anywho, today I picked up this gem. Spotted it in the background of one of those notorious Craigslist photos. On the phone guy said he didn't have the box... good thing I spotted it in the garage! Couple questions. Looks to be complete other than the rear camber links. Modern rear tires. Is that the original steering set up? Rear bulkhead looks different. Brand? Are the "wide track" front arms the same as the worlds? I have some black NIP wides and would like to replace if possible as the ones on the car are discolored. Thanks!

dude!

Excellent find and welcome to the board. The worlds cars are awesome, add a sensored 17.5 and run that thing!

looks stock besides the rpm rear bulkhead

Very nice car, hope you got it for a steal! As said the rear bulkhead is RPM and it has a FT blue screw kit on it, these are not oem! I think the rear tires (Proline Bowties) were around during the Worlds Car. However, I would restore that thing and shelve it. It's just too nice to run IMO! Thanks for sharing pics! All the parts you need to put it back to oem are not hard to find and should not cost more than $30-$50 total!

looks horrid...send it to me, I will dispose of it properly for you

the worlds car had a different "compound" plastic for the front arms, but they are identical in appearance to the standard wide track arms. the discoloration you mention may be due to the difference in material.

My plan is to return it to OEM and shelf it. I have other less beautiful cars I can make into runners. What is the name / part # for the original rear tires? Is there a person or service on the site that will fill scratches and reanodize chassis?

Thats a bummer, that thing was made to ran! Ask JK what he thinks

Don't worry I have plans for a OIN I make it out to west coast every so often. I might have to show up with it over there!

if he got it for less than $100 im not only gonna go in the garage and cuss but i may actually openly cry as well

Run it...it can always be sanded and re-anno'd later. When I get my hands on a World's chassis...it will be run, just like my current Goldie.

It really looks super nice, while I dont like shelfers, it would make a really nice example.

When you get tired of it, I will flog it around the track to make it feel loved again

I understand why you guys say to run it, but there are far too few Worlds cars in good condition. You can find a cheap one that is poor and make that a great runner!

@goldrush. Don't worry, I paid over $200 for it... I just got 2 10t's a hornet and a wild willy for free!

Sounds like when you sell some of the other stuff you got the worlds for free now I'm in the garage crying and cursing also
