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

Those are some sweet custom rides. I still don't know how they did the FAV though. Sick.

compared to the suspension of the viper and 4wds on the gallop the FAV is pretty simple: polyprop rods and plates, glued and painted on the outside.

The ultima-wheels... I'll have to check if I have a side shot. I think it is the white version of the fox wheel or frog wheel with a slotted disk glued in.

Well, I admit, running and picture taking sure beats the fun of editing and uploading... but finally I got more for you guys:

Most of the M-chassis pics are in minimini's M-thread but here's some more I like:









I found a way to use my flickr account for image hosting which removed the need for uploading to rc10talk.com, and gives me automatic resizing etc, so more in a couple minutes

Interlude: me and my cars:

I have legs too, there just not in the picture


Yep, that box is vintage also: been using these boxes from my early racing days


The ghost-rider in action

Special for the asso gold tub fans:

Wild stuff:
super champ based pajero and propelled mini truggy sitting side by side


I did prefer the pajero in more 'standard' subaru brat wheel outfit, but the twin rear tyres looked cool on the starting grid


This Axial crawler body fitted to a vintage ultima RB truck sure looked good too


And over the lunch we had a full blown battle of these going on


I'm done posting, unless someone wants to see more on specific cars/types?

Mr. ED, I looked at report by Yaji(posted link) and saw this I'm not sure what it is. Do you know anything about this car? Just wanted to mention I really like looking at the pictures of the event that you have posted looks like a good time.
Thanks

Thanks for your reaction.
More of the history of the turbine car can be found in the blog

Unfortunately the blog doesn't translate in babelfish, but take a look at the pictures anyway.

The body 's from a tam-tech frog and so is the front portion I believe.
Thrust is from a brushless propeller/turbine.
There were a couple more propelled cars , some faster than others, but in general they accelerated way slower than the standard buggies.
