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

what a coincidence, that was my very first R/C car

Well my all time favorite is the 300zx GI Joe/Barbie commercial. I remember reading in RC Car Action that it was a TA02 underneath.http://www.nissancommercials.com/nissan-vids/300zx-toys.mov

From "The Dead Pool" with Clint Eastwood.

Jammin jay drove it. I think AE still has it.http://aedownloads.com/pdf/deadpool.pics.pdf

so we know what the movies are but whats the rc ,s and yes i see the rc10,s but are they 10Ls in the poltergeist ?

the ones in poltergeist are diffidently hobby grade by the looks of them. now exactly what is under the bodies i don't know. they do appear to be 1/10 scale. this movie was released in 1982 if that helps narrow down what the cars could be.

i edited my posts above to state what the car/truck was if i knew or was able to find out.

here are some other movies that supposedly have rc cars in them if anybody happens to have them to find out for sure. if you do happen to have the movie please post up a pic of the rc car that is in it if you can.

Bad Boys 2
Blue Streak
Ocean's Eleven
