any info on rc500??

[matthew john]

does anyone know the time line and history for these old 1/8 scale on road nitro cars???

i got a rc500 im restoring, and i have no idea what to do next, i was thinking dye the parts red and black, but kinda lost.

ive never seen another rc500 except for mine. also did the rc500 have a chain drive or belt drive??

mine has a belt drive, but it looks like a mod???

if you got a 2wd rc500 , post your pics here plz........i need to see what others look like so i can get an idea of how to do mine.

thanks!!!!

the 2wd version was offered as a full kit and as a conversion for the 4wd model. anyway here's the parts catalog i posted a while back.

its looking like the rc500 was indeed a belt drive setup looking at the catalog.

Early Rc500's were chain drive and a belt drive was developed later.

I'll get some pics of the track owner's RC500 this weekend when I go to practice. He won't sell it though

I will take a pic of mine and post for you guys hopefully tomorrow. I have th eRC500 and I think 250 or 300. I also have a Delta all 1/8 scale nitro On-Road.

No what you asked for, but mine nonetheless. It is will stay sealed.

Found a pic of another project. I've had a third, but I know I don't have any pics of it.

I finally found those pics of my RC500 as promised with Carbon Fiber Hop-Ups you don't see often.
( Frankly I have never seen another like mine as a matter of fact )

That's cause you don't look far enough.

I sure would like to know how far you have to look to find one. His looks good it's nice not to have to use your x-ray powers to see through a sealed kit box LOL!

the factory sealed kit is pretty damn neat and that rc500 with the c/f is so sexy it looks less like the early 80s and more modern its pretty cool.
