Re: Vintage RC car museum exhibition – Norway
Each car has it’s own text (in Norwegian…). To keep a text ok to read, the number of words has to be kept fairly low. Depending on the cars role or character I have therefore put different emphasize on themes as history, technicalities, joy, aesthetics, rarity, competition results and so forth. In addition there are some cards on special themes, and the boards and posters. Thanks for looking!CAT3K wrote:Very nice But now my neck hurts

Re: Vintage RC car museum exhibition – Norway
Hi there! Jason spotted his Topcat, unfortunately that is not mine. On the other side the CAT is in my possession! Thanks, very nice car. Did you do the painting? Going to keep this very nice BITD scheme, some work left on the car to make it the way I want it. As you can see the colored rear shocks are cleaned (blue and yellow I think). Except for the fact that they are the color of the Swedish flag, what was the reason for the paint job on the shocks - keep track of left and right of the car?Hcp22 wrote: I spotted my old CAT XL that I sold to Norway last year…

Re: Vintage RC car museum exhibition – Norway
That car was built and painted by one of my club mates at Väst-8 Gothenburg. He runs it a few times indoor and once outdoor, and it wasn’t paint on the shocks, it’s the residues’ from balloons. He sold that car to me in 91 (he needed the money) and I just put it away. So you are the third owner.LurkingCAT wrote:Hi there! Jason spotted his Topcat, unfortunately that is not mine.

Re: Vintage RC car museum exhibition – Norway
Thank you for the history info on this car. When I cleaned the shocks it just seemed like paint or something, had to remove it with acetone. Probably what degraded balloons and oil look like after twenty years...Hcp22 wrote:That car was built and painted by one of my club mates at Väst-8 Gothenburg.

Re: Vintage RC car museum exhibition – Norway
Good news - the interest for vintage RC cars seems to be better than the museum ever expected. The host of the exhibition, Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, have now asked to prolong the exhibit! It was going to be taken down by the end of this month, now they have have changed their mind and will have it "for a few more months". I am going to give back some cars I've borrowed, rearrange, and put some more of my own stuff in. Great! Nice to see that people actually like the RC nostalgia…

Re: Vintage RC car museum exhibition – Norway
In fact the display is still in the museum due to popularity (from the beginning the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, were going to have the display from May through September 2012). Lately another museum has asked to have this next year for a temporary exhibition. I am already planning to reorganize the display with some new texts, pictures, cars and other stuff. Maybe going to have some sort of virtual rc racing to have some hands on stuff for school classes etc (have to check this out, as I've never been into this).Bob-Stormer wrote:Beautiful displays!

Re: Vintage RC car museum exhibition – Norway
Is there a virtual tour available?
