I would definitely run a Kyosho XRT Pro in Stadium Truck, there's one on ebay, it's been there for a while, but there are no parts to be found, well, not readily available....

Stick with your 10T. It's dialed!!

It's ok, no where near as dialed as you think, I have to rebuild it and replace worn out parts on it, I ran that thing almost as much as I ran my T4 when I started racing at RCHR.
I'd still run the 10T in mod class right now...
The good thing about the VONATs is, it gives you the chance to run cars that you wanted but could never afford. Having that said, maybe one of these days I can run a Sand Scorcher at the VONATs...
Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what R/C car you're gonna get next!!!

I really wish I had bought a Mr Lexan buggy body for my Buggy Champ to race with this year, I think it would have been a lot of fun. I did have a VW bug body for it, but no Sand Scorcher body mounts to fit it.
Yeah, I should bring it next year. I'll definitely be in the Heavy Metal class and I'd like to run the LXT again. I don't know if I can manage 3 cars. Maybe I'll run the Buggy Champ in entry level instead of racing the LXT again. Plenty of time to decide.

that's not my problem. there are a few simple rules to follow for this race. if you can't abide by them, well..... then you can stand/sit and watch, or just stay home. this is my opinion, and anyone can feel free to dislike it.

apparently i wasn't done........
so who were they guys that were talking about uping the cutoff to '95 because they have t2's, b2's, xx-t's, etc...... and won't buy a pre-'94 car to race once a year? the local racers of rchr? if that's who it is, why couldn't you guys run a vintage class once or twice a month along with your regular program? atleast that way, they would get more use out of their pre-'94 car/truck investment.
I think the way it is set up is a good thing. pre-94 chassis, modern electronics and rubber. I tried the old school ESC/brushed motor and tires last year. The tires were too hard to remotely hook up on the modern track surface. I ran lipo and brushless this year, so much better. Lipo is so convenient as is brushless. No motor heat issues, no rushing to charge batteries between heats. For next year I will get a full set of personal transponders too. Those should take a bit of stress and time out of the equation for running 3 classes again.
The only problem with brushless is that it makes my litespeed motor plate useless, the motor barely gets over ambient temp

Yeah i dont think i can wait a year i had way to much fun. Even every month would be cool.
After attending the 08 & 09 VONATs and seeing how much fun it was, I've decided to start searching for a Classic entry for next years race. I believe the rules are basically any pre-1994 entry level vehicle. What vehicles would you recommend for...

One of my racing buddies that is planning on making the trip this year has a Falcon ready to go. Basically he is using 2.2 wheels off of a Desert Gator (the same grey solid wheels I had on my 08 Frog). HPI hex adapter in the rear allows the use of...
Hi, this is the RC10T I raced last year and plan to race again this year in the Vintage Offroad Nationals. Alot of this truck is original parts I used to race with in the early 90's. I have also made a rear shock tower due to not being able to find...

Looks like the truck needs some work this year. It doesn't seem to handle the new track layout as well as last year.
If you are still making those carbon battery hold downs please PM me...Thanks...:)
Here's the car that I'll enter as my 4wd entry at the 2010 VONATs, I was in the hunt for one of these for this year's race, but this one I found just a little too late....
Hopefully I'll just have to rebuild and clean, I need to sort out a new body...

I agree, great thread.
RW racing are now making my design Lazer ZX/ZXR spur gears in 48dp. 100t but with an added extra. This has the not only the standard 12 holes for the third diff, which also fits the hyper clutch but I added the B4/B44 hex...
Here's a few pictures of my RC10T, it's the same truck I ran at last year's VONATs, but this time around, it's sporting the quick change conversion kit, along with JC Rulux wheels.
The body it's an RC10T2 body, with RPM body mounts.

As soon as I put some electronics on it, I'll take some body off pictures.... :D
Decided to get my original RC-10 ready to race again. The body was on loan in 2009 to my first version of my Old Is New, but now it is back where it belongs.
I did have a mid conversion on this, but I decided to put the pan back on.
