I think I need to play the lottery!

[JHarris]

Did you really get a set of Tecnacraft rims in that lot!?

Yep. I have no interest in anything Kyosho so this stuff will probably all find its way to the bay or B/S/T section. I'd prefer to keep the Optima, mid conversion and wheels all together, but money talks! (Pro Radiants and their parts talk very loudly!)

I don't really want to turn this thread into a classified ad but my delay in posting anything in the BST is that I am clueless for pricing. I will also try to update you guys on what I uncover as I go through everything.

Wow... again! This haul just gets better & better - its so cool (+ exciting) seeing your pics - thank you for sharing

I assume the Technacrafts are Kyosho fitment??

Having had some time to get over the initial shock of finding all this cool vintage stock, have you had any thoughts on what you'd like to keep or pass on - there must be some stuff that must be dream finds for you & you'll be wanting to hang on to?? There might be some parts that may have sparked off new ideas for projects?

I think the thing that makes this find amazing is just the sheer quantitiy of desirable items... normally all thats left of an old Hobby Shop's inventory is all the stuff nobody wanted.... & probably still don't want.

P.S; I'd be interested to see whats in your Losi parts box... dibs if theres a NIP Jrx2 chassis lol!

I'm still going through everything but so far I have set a few things aside. Some others I am on the fence about like the titanium hinge pins, titanium turnbuckles and titanium dog bones. I don't really need these for my runners so I am not sure if I want to keep them. With the exception of the 2 S132H servos I plan to keep, I have no need for anything electronic. Also, the SCR batteries, vintage chargers and all the motors will probably not stay.

As for the Losi stuff; everything Losi fits in the box you see. It is a lot of transmission parts and universal shaft parts. There's also wing wires and the crazy shock oil they sold. It's all for the LXT and JRX-2.

NIB Magnum PCM, few Tekin esc's, one being NIB.

So excited, so excited, so excited!

Wait!!!

I do not have enough posts to access the for sale forum here. I want a chance to get in on the goodies. I just got a new Tamiya F-1 road wizard, I will take those parts. . I am sure if this stuff went to the bay it would skyrocket all prices.

I should start walking around my neighborhood and looking for people who used to own a hobby shop.


That is a great find!

[i crash cars]

What an EPIC find! Congrats man!!! Any RC10T bodies in there???

[Ruffy]

I have been to JHarris's House and can tell you this could not have happened to a better guy, and it is quite a haul he has here. The amount of stuff he got is mind blowing, and in great condition.

I like it when Karma comes around and good things happen to great people.

Damn this thread is hurting my will power to stop spending so much on this hobby.

[mikedealer]

i know of 2 places/people that have a massive stash of old rc inventory, one in pennsylvania, one in new york. problem is NO ONE wants to be bothered going to the storage location (in first case its in their attics and second case its a storage unit 50 miles away), I told them i would be interested in anything 1993 or earlier, they both said everything is definetly from 1998-9 or earlier, most of it leaning to the late 80's.

i figured i would bring a huge wad of hundreds and pay for something random with a hundred dollar bill to mayb get their mouth's watering a little bit, but it didnt effect either people, one couple is old timers, the other is some guy who runs the store for his family and couldnt give a crap less about the hobby, who doesnt know anything about rc10's unless it has a rc10B4 tag on it lol.

wish they would let me in, if the stuff is old, i would drop a few grand on it to take all of it, i tried to convince the storage guy to sell so he can stop paying monthly rent on his container as a enticement but he claims he pays $50 a month for a 50x50 unit in the boondocks

maybe one day

Mike,

just keep hitting them up.....sooner or later you might strike them right!

[Ruffy]

Mike, I know what you are going through.
Dealing with some of those ole-timers that don't give a hoot about going to check storage units is tough. Even when you tell them they could make a lot of money, and get rid of that load.
