It seems I have a bunch of new projects all at once, so I'll get this one underway while I'm at it. Been jonesing for a nice original 6 gear gold pan that could double as a once in a blue moon runner/shelfer. Hope to be able to make the Vonats one of these years. Picked up this super nice car from Adam with all of the original paperwork, box, and receipts. $366 was a bit of coin for play toys in 1990! It already has the metal idler gears and Losi diff tube as well as the outdrive bearings in place of the felt seals. Very clean so just a quick rebuild of everything and getting the transmission to be smooth ought to do. Picked up some new wheels and tires with the rear tires being almost new. Thinking of a nice boxart body or something factory looking. Going to keep the Associated stock motor unless a new Reedy mod comes along. A like new Novak T-4, new Trinity battery, and a un-used Futaba Magnum JR set also with all of the orignal receipts. Trying to keep this one old school all the way. Patience has paid off with this hoard...

I thought maybe it was a "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" reference when I saw that title. Brought to mind PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES. That'll be a fun one to drive.

this is gonna come off more like a rant since i'm in a bad mood..........................
usually, when posts come up in threads about how someone doesn't know why someone else has all of these cars and doesn't use them, they just let them sit on a...

Thanks to my brother I now have this #7036 RC10T2. It's new and unrun with only a few lite blemishes from sitting on a shelf for years. The only thing missing is the manual but I can download a copy from AE's website. Diff is super smooth and shows...

Tell me about it. My brother messages back and forth with the previous owner while trying to buy it. Turns out just after he assembled it some stuff came up (wouldn't be to specific) he put it away and just never got back to it. Years later he be...
Hey all. I figured it is time to get a project thread going for my RC10s.
I just got into vintage collecting about a year ago. I always wanted to own a gold pan car and found an opportunity on rctech at the end of last year to trade a TC4 for a...

That sounds like what I want to do. Sell / trade the third car for a stealth car and run modern electronics / tires / wheels.
I had a nice description written and lost the whole damn thing before I hit submit. :evil:
This is an on and off project I've had since having this B chassis, nose, motor plate, and wheels anodized red last year. Towers are Hot Trick, nose tubes...

I hope you don't consider this as thread pollution, but I ran across this, maybe a little on purpose just moments after my previous post. :lol: 8) Dig those crazy outfits... :mrgreen:
i built this up for my 2010 vonats car (if i make it there) i still have to add the nose of the body or a small wing in it's place. i'll post some body off pics when i get the electrics in it.

a few body off pics. i'll get more tomarrow with some good lighting.
Picked up a solid graphite chassis, going to make a runner out of it, maybe try to make it to the Vonats. Question about the build, how much modification can be done and still be legal to run at Vonats? Example, I have an extra set of V2 shocks from...

Good looking car! You could use big bore springs to avoid spring rubbing on the shock body. And they also look better as they're all black.
I spotted a runner thread over in General so I thought I'd stick my Runner up too. This alas is my only runner '10 so get treated carefully - still enough to have some serious fun though!!
I guess its fairly standard except the MIP steering, HPI...

Im definately a fan of the blue chassis. I may have to do one up like that.
i don't know the story behind it. but it seems this douche is selling the rover. found it while looking around on the site that mytimac put up in another thread.
Apollo 17 Lunar Rover for sale:
i remember when i was a kid and asked what it cost...

looks like a honda odyssey with lawn chairs attached to it :D ( the go cart not the mini van or whatever )
