old 540 race 22-May-2010

Post by 59burst »

a small old RC race was held in RC rally circuit yesterday.
we got 540 2WD, 540 4WD, and open class. and my RC10 finally beat B2 and won the 1st. and my 834B got the 3rd
lots of kyosho 4wd were there and my 834B was the only yoke in the race
in 2WD race, I got a few competitors like kyosho ultima, tamiya asute and dyna storm, rc10, even B2 and grasshopper. that modified grasshopper was much faster than I expected.
I could win because there were only 12 to 15 cars in each class :lol:

RC10 and a kyosho. RC10 wing was mine

my 834B got new wheels and tires from aip47-2008, and RC10' tires also :wink:
3rd in 540 4wd class
couldn't install 540 due to the shaft length. they allowed me to use 30T stock

Very cool! Lots of great paint jobs here. I love that first pic of the RC10 and the Optima.

thank you guys
the first RC10 was bought from Japan. and it was mine until a few weeks ago
that RC10 ran in A-main at japanese national chamipionship at '91 maybe '92

and I got these humble trophies for my humble driving
damn, I was faster with 540 than with brushless :lol:
