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

I've been wanting to get a pic or two of where I do my thang, but I never had/made the time. Well, I cleaned up my stuff as it was creeping into the storage area and we needed to get the kids bikes put away!
Typically the buggies are tucked under the benches and shelving, but I thought a lineup was in order.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

HEY, you stole my Humidifyer!!! But on a different note, thats REAL nice looking Yellow Rustler Body you got there!!

That box is actually full of an HO scale train set.
I made the yellow one my runner because it didn't have the wing to lose. You can see the red one up top (under the XL-5 body).

My work area is a spare bedroom. Not really convenient for some things like heavy cleaning but it's warm and dry. I think I'm about at critical mass!

hello civilguy, great hotshot, thumbs up. where did you get that body, and what body is that? never seen this one before. looks great.

german- Thanks. It's a JG Manufacturing "Dart"- it was made for Supershot and Hotshot (had cut lines for both). I just put that HS together from all vintage parts before the VONats as my first shelf queen, but it may be my entry into next year's race! It also has the JG roof spoiler and a Parma bumper. As far as where I got stuff- most parts were in boxes from when I raced in 85-87. I ran a Parma Wells Coyote body on the white HS bitd (but trashed it)- another strange looking aftermarket body that would turn heads these days.
There's a few other pics of my Dart-bodied HS floating around the VONats threads.

Scampi- I'm pretty warm in there as the boiler/utility room vents into that storage area. I'd rather not have the concrete floor but it is a good place to sneak off to when I need it!

I do most of my "dirty" rc stuff out in my shed, which in the Aussie summer gets damn hot, so I moved most of my collection and regular racers into my study, which didn't please the wife too much

hi civilguy,

i do have a nib parma wells coyote body for my future hotshot. i'm still looking for the parts to convert a hotshot to
4 shocks instead of that two single shocks. the coyote body needs 2 shocks in the rear to look alright. if you ever come across some of these parts that you could part with please drop me a line. thanks

My old basement

I've finally got a place to call my own, well own modeling area anyway. I spent a few weekend sorting my garden shed out and this is what I amnaged to cobble together.

Ya even had room for the most important part, the beer fridge!

I'd put a few r/c projects aside and turn that into a sweet little keg-o-rator.
