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

I remember seeing a car with model rocket "motors" in a magazine article. It used one channel for the igniter and the other for steering.

I wanted to build one, and kinda still do.

Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember strapping a model rocket engine to an R/C in the '90s. I believe on of my friends did it too.

Nitro Boost!

Hammer Time!

A pouncing eagle with claw hammer heads for feet and call it the "Eagle's Claw-Hammer"?

Or... Or.. Of course not that sh***y.

Thumbs will be in here with parachute pants soon.....

I've made 2 rocket powered RC cars ...... still have them.

Only need 2 channels, one for steering and one for throttle for ignition and brakes.

I'm constantly entertained by those on FBMP with ads like:

I am selling an old RC car. Not sure of manufacturer or how old it is, but it works fine. $250

Like, where did you come up with this price? You have ZERO clue what it is or what it is worth! Did you really just pull this out of your ....?

Short answer? Yes.

Long answer? Yeeeeeeeeeessssss.....

Bored on a Saturday night! Who’s drinking? I’m having a Negra Molelo..strong!…puts hair on your kidneys!

Been looking for a new project, and I think I found it: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/387065793386354/ $300 for a painted Radio Shack Impala with no box seems about right???

Low riders are hot.. it’s got wheels and paint! everything else is secondary..just like full size!

Boy I've been slackin', haven't spent much time around the site much lately and just now noticed this thread for the first time.

I'm not bored, I just didn't want to start another thread. And what I jave to share isn't that cool. BUT, we are hitting the states and I am thinking about raiding the storage unit and my parents house (as this has been the shipping destination for some of my eBay junk). I've been hemming and hawing on some build ideas (all TRX-1 based) and I'm leaning more and more towards "it is time". I guess if I'm that "into it" I will do it. Gotta admit though, the timeframe is gonna be way more compressed than it seems will be. It's gonna be real easy to just hang out and soak it all in. Plus having critical side-missions involving vintage RC seems strange to the outside observer... so I come across as "the weirdo" alot.

Off topic chats are food for the soul. They help keep the main topics on track, while giving everyone a place for random commentary and frivolity! We had them at Clodtalk and I've made a point to get them instated on other forums I frequent. It's also a place for us former (insert forum genre here) enthusiasts to still enjoy the friends we've made along the way, even though we may not be in said genre anymore.

Having said that, Nothumbs, Klavy, and Scr8p walk into a bar . . . No, wait, let's get Incrediblyserious . . .
