It is amazing how hard these Japanese guys run their vintage cars. It is a sin!!

So you don't subscribe to the "they were meant to be run" philosophy?

I've wasted a lot of time on that site in the past... and still can't read any Japanese.

The preceding contained opinions, beliefs and thoughts that all may not agree with. No offense was intended at any point. Carry on.

Hard? They are running sealed can 540's. You should see the cars we run in Australia. Some of us run 12 turns and less.

I raced my Procat last night with a 12 turn single and didnt manage to brake a thing- and my new local looks more like a motorcross track.

Name a car you would like to race against current buggies maybe at club level. It doesnt have to be a competition car but could be anything from a Grasshopper onwards. I always wanted to try that but my skills are no good I have never consistantly...

Ahhh, I grew up pretty much due east on the other side of the coast. Space Coast Raceway was my home track.

A year after I sold all of my 1990s to 2000s RC Collection (Including a never ran Kyosho Ultima RB5 and a barely used Traxxas Slash), I got bit by the bug again this year. However, this time it's a little bit different. I started collecting RC Cars...

Hello all, I have a collection of vintage Kyosho rc buggies & I would like to make some upgrades to me them speed demons. These cars all have mechanical speed controls and use old school 1500 mah 7.2v battery packs. I have a Kyosho Outrage, Kyosho...

Another point: If you're planning to soup up any vintage entry- to mid-level RC car, you really need to make sure all bushings are upgraded with ball-bearings. If you make the move to LiPo batteries, now's the time to switch out old Tamiya white...

Hi folks,

With the meager intrest for this japanese aftermarket body for a Tamiya Boomerang, I decided not to wait for Tadracket or Mr. Lexan to start putting out shells.
So here it is: painted and ready to mount.

Now it fits either of the below...

Thanks for the compliment, but the build is not ready yet.
When it's ready it will look quite different from a standard ultima under the hood also and I'll put up a separate tread for it.
About the paint:no worries, the body costed less than 8 euro.

What vintage/classic/retro/old school cars have you actually set down on a race track? Whether it be to race, practise or even just bash I wanted to start a thread for those of us who have been brave enough to get these off road buggies back in...

Sometimes you just don't want to update a vintage car to modern wheels but you still want to drive them. Is anyone here still running or even racing their old cars with older non 2.2 tires? What works and where can you still find them aside from the...

Well I figure it like this, if I have to pay an outrageous price either way, I'd rather have newly manufactured rubber. Although that is of course if you're not after 100% originality.

since i won a sweet team durango dex410rv3 at the vonats i'm gonna start racing it.
i always stayed away from 1/10 4wd because the cars were expensive and fragile, well a free, tough, buggy has changed my mind.

i've got a tekin 7.5t rs pro system...

Seeing as others have added opinions I'll chip in. I respect 4WD race cars a lot. They will always be the fastest machines out there.
But having been there and done that in 1/10 and 1/8, I do not wish to own a 4WD car right now. They have a few...
