Introduction and Restored RC10 Buggies

[Jackb05]

Hi All,

Just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I have been into Radio Control cars since the early 90s, my first real RC car was a RC10 Championship Edition and from there I got into nitro, on-road, etc... Got rid of all my cars when I went to college. I just recently got back into the hobby when my wife gave me a RC10 B4.1 for Christmas. Well the car bug bit and now I have a total of four cars.

I have been looking over the forum threads for the last month while I was restoring my team car and everyone seems so friendly and knowledgeable.

Anyways, time for the cars:

RC10 Team Edition - Fully Restored, I have titanium turnbuckles on it but I was able to source the original white turnbuckle set from Japan. I don't plan on putting them on at this time.

What the heck is an RCL Pro? That thing looks like it was a scale model for Mad Max

[Jackb05]

Yeah, now that you say it... it could have been a model for Mad Max The Incident Pro was made by RCL International, a company from Japan that only made a few versions of the Incident in the 80's and never made any other models. The car was only distributed in a a few countries, Australia being one of them. The car was pretty advanced for it's time, even had 4 wheel steering. Based on my research, these are very rare cars.

Not sure Sparky knows what to make of that RC10. That's the way my dog looks at mine. Nice collection! Welcome.

Yeah, we call him Harley.... manly name for a well.... not so manly dog What's funny, is that he chases the B4 down the field barking like crazy like he is going to attack it but then I flip the car around and he runs from it scared.... that alone is worth having the car.

Thanks for the compliment on the collection, I think the wife is thinking to herself why did I buy him the B4... look what I started

Don't feel bad. I have a 6 pound Porkie named Buster. It must be the small dog syndrome because he reacts the same way. If I so much as pick up a radio he goes nuts.

The team car looks really nice! Did you recoat the chassis?

[Jackb05]

Thanks, no re-coating. I bought the chassis NIP on Ebay and I was able to find the front plate and motor mount NIP at a hobby shop... pretty good find.
