Report: Vintage RC10 Florida Racing

[JeremyH]

Ruffy, I talked to Ruona and got the "ok" to run the RC10 in stock this weekend and run my Kyohso in mod at the same time! Going for the Win!

[Ruffy]

Sweet!
Looking forward to you tearing it up this weekend Jeremy!

Iv raced my worlds car weekly for 6 months now indoors. We did the first out door race of the season. The old black handled the rough track much better than the newer rigs. We share the world with 8th scale and beat chit out of the dirt. I gt same responce and attention...oh ya and win alot too.

Well, after a day of downloading programs and consulting with 2 different office geeks, I managed to upload video of the main event onto youtube.

I also uploaded the 1st run with the Pro Radiant. The car got a little better as the day went on, but there's still a long way to go.

So good to see the old cars in action..... and showing the new cars the way, looks like Ruffy hasn't lost any of your skill behind the handset too! I think your are correct when you say that the newer cars are 'safer' to drive than the old RC10s - which I think speaks volumes for your driving abilities.

Loving the two Harris cars - they look so immaculately prepared.

This is getting me all excited & eager to get my re-built RC10 out on the track with the B4s & X6s etc Just running off road again will be nice.

P.S; the cars look mighty fast for 'stock' class!

[JHarris]

No puckering here. The Radiant is very durable and it was built to race!

The cars are actually "super stock". They run either a 19t brushed motor (like Ruffy's and mine) or a 13t brushless (like my son's car).

Thank you so much for the video. I loved the comments when Ruffluin was in the lead .
Then Father a son battling it out . Jeremy definitely has some skills and love the way he handled the large jump in the straightway, love to heir more comments from him and the experience of the old/updated RC10.
Congrats to all, it looked fun.

[Ruffy]

Thanks for the video Jeff and thank Josh for shooting it.

Good job on uploading it to youtube.

The Supercross style jump is a bit intimidating on approach every lap, but have no fear! I just recieved word from the track owner that the jump has now been taken out! I absolutely love my RC10 and it drives surprisingly similar to my Factory Team Kyosho RB-5 SP. The only real noticable difference is how edgy the RC10 is. If I can just figure out how to make the car a little more stable they will drive about the same! (meaning they both push! lol) Once my dad first started his crazed obsession I thought he was on crack but now after experiencing it I must admit... he was right!... but just this one time!

An RPM "worlds 91" treatment will eliminate the edgey feel to that car in a snap- those short arms and short camber links have that effect

Dad's knows best Jeremy, don't forget that...

[JHarris]

I must admit... he was right!...

He's always right! What Jeremy left out in his whining about his car's performance is that the video you saw was taken during the car's first day on the track. That car hasn't seen a wrench or single adjustment, including the toe, camber or suspension. It will be resolved, have no fear!

Whining!?.... I wasnt whining! The car runs good for it being older than I am!
