Some nostalgia.

These are a pair of RC10L pan cars. Ok, ok, so the bodies could be painted better but I was like 13 when I did them and the dragon was done backwards by hand with paint brushes. Still have these cars. Probably going to be my next resto project.

I was apparently really into Hardee's back in the day

The Track Gaithersburg, MD
This is me as a kid probably 92'- 93' Ish standing on the old carpet oval. If you don't know this place Google it! It's changed a lot but it's still there. Off-road Clay track now. Amazing place and Mimi the owner is the friggin best

Some Kyosho Mini Z action... 2009... that's vintage right?

I do apologize for posting mostly new stuff. It's all a long story but the simple version is this. I was a victim of fraud with regards to a storage unit that held 90% of my prized cars. They were auctioned off behind my back and by the time I found out what happened it was too late to save them. I sued and won regaining some of my money but sadly my babies were gone forever.
I did wind up building a bit of a collection after that. Mostly Tamiya stuff. Avante and Egress stuff mainly. But I found my self in a tough spot a few years ago with my career which forced me to sell them. I thought I was done with RC for good. Recently though I've found more time and here and there, a little $ to spend.
I was lucky to have saved at least my Yr-4 and a couple of RC10L cars from when I was younger.
These cars and my slots are the only things I had at my home when I was for lack of a better word robbed. Oh and my extensive 1/32nd slot collection I've yet to post. Not sure I should because I do want to respect the rules. I've started to rebuild and will eventually acquire more vintage cars but for now this is what I have to show. I hope this gives some perspective on what and why I have posted what I have. I hope you enjoy!

If you guys have any comments please post them on my build thread and not here. Also, if you guys want me to post the 1/32nd collection let me know! The link is below.

Team Magic G4+ limited edition update.

Was bored over the weekend so I painted up an old 200mm lola VDS body from Blitz.
I could have made it nicer but I was too lazy to break out the airbrush. Came out pretty cool though. Freehand drawing and masking.
