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

I just picked up this magazine about a week ago. It brought back a lot of memories because I used to drool all over this buggy as a kid. I did eventually get my rc10 close to this minus some of the high dollar titanium. I wish I still had it.

Now if I could just drive over to my lhs and pick up those parts it would be so cool.

And you wonder why kids went crazy with power tools....The magazine told me to do it!

the club i raced with had no weight rules so our buggies were light, i remember going to santa fa raceway in kansas city missouri for a race and they weighed our cars, i had to add like 10 ounces to it, lol, i couldnt drive the car after that,

What happened to the Pic's

You're good,Erik!

Yea that was one of the Hobby stores I use to go to. We didn't any good one it south NJ. The other really good one was Jackson Hobby in Jackson NJ on county line RD and there still there too.

what month is this article in mate? what a top build, love your tribute build thread to it's top's anyone race this exact care to sucess back in the day?

This article was from October of 1987. I had really good luck with this setup back then. Although I didn't have the high dollar titanium, It was still a stiff and light buggy.

Wow, I was just thinking of this article and hear it is. I can't open the pics, though. Can somebody repost them or something?
