RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Santa (Wife) brought me a blue tooth headset for my motorcycle helmet and a FT RC-10 B4. We always do gifts late on Christmas eve. I was adding up my gift cards and was getting ready to order a B4 on Monday. I got up this morning and was going to read up on my headset Walking into the living room for the second time, I noticed a box on the couch. It was the FT RC10B4. It had a note explaining Santa found him crying, no one wanted him because he was obsolete, but Santa knew someone who would.


So, now I have my first new RC-10 since the mid eighties. Cannot wait to start building it.

Sad story with a happy ending there Ed!

Completely unexpected my brother turned up with a RC10CE 6 gear to complete my collection.
Thanks bruv!

Hmmmmm, Hanuka must be spelled differently at your temple.

Well, there's like 2-3 different spellings because it's technically written with a different alphabet none of them are more correct. I just used whatever one makes the spell checker shut up!

Oooh, that'd be nice!

I got to work through Xmas 5000kms away from family and looks like through new years too

I did buy myself a Wraith before I went into the field...but I broke a steering knuckle already ...but bought some aluminium hopups to fix it and upgrade some other things on it too, ah, online shopping

i added to my crawler madness... it all started with a scx10 honcho, traded that with my buddy grumbles..then late nov i got a scx10 dingo rtr for my bday.. tower had xr10s for $120 shipped for members so i bought 1 for myself for xmas and my girl got me a ax10 rtr for xmas

I have a cousin who once asked what my favorite color was. I told her it was pink, but at the time I was talking about RC cars, particularly my pink rc10T. For the past 3 years Ive gotten a pink striped shirt for xmas from her older sister. The first two times I thought maybe a fluke. But the third time I figured it out.

My wife won me this very nice all Andy's RC10! These pictures are from the auction she won. Except for the weird wheels the car looks perfect in person, never run! There are used wheels and tires on it though. I think the front wheels are "Killer " wheels like one of our other members has recently shown an example of. The directional pattern is backwards on one side. The rears are Falcon? with Tamiya adapters. No matter, both sets will be going and be replaced with something more appropriate.

That's not a bad gift, lots of cool period correct stuff on that!

camera tripod, clothes & money

That is a cool buggy

I guess I also got the "go ahead"/gift of getting Walker Evans rear shocks and AllPro suspension upgrade for my Tacoma. Hopefully I get them on by the end of next month

Got the reaming parts to finish this off- and got a tire order from tower coming for our winter racing season. Had to get it all for myself though, wife isn't into this crap

I got to spend the day with my kids, who scored a ton, some more cooking stuff (my other passion from RC) and a 10.5 motor, still in the mail system somewhere...

I got my Sand Rover and the Wife got me to my surprise a Really nice watch and Canon camera outfit I needed desperately. she had been saveing all year with out me knowing.
