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

I started to do my somewhat regular hobby room clean-out/organization today. Wow, I found a lot of stuff that I totally forgot that I had bought ! One of the first things was a RC10T that I've had a couple years now but was totally hidden from my view until today. The next thing that surprised me was a RC10T2 that really surprised me since I can't recall exactly how or when I acquired it ...
Last but certainly not least was the best thing I have re-discovered so far......A N.I.P. A&L RC10 conversion!!! I plan on building this thing a.s.a.p.. It feels like Christmas to me right now .

You FOUND TWO TRUCKS!!! I would hate to have seen the space before you organized!

Nice score!

That could be the winner of the LBBO, can it get any cheaper than "I found it"

Pretty awesome.

I am in the opposite situation. I know *exactly* what I have on hand, and none of it is quite as cool as an A&L conversion!

Thanks!
sneako43 - I would take a picture but I'm too ashamed of how it looks right now .
Synergy - Hey, that's a good idea. Might just enter it.
shirochanwrx - That's exactly what I thought too when i found it....again .

One of the reasons why I'm so excited and surprised about all of this is because I haven't done a full RC inventory in quite some time. I have a tendency for buying stuff then putting it away only to totally forget about it until I dig it out. Another cool find from this morning is a full set of Losi/RCPS center-line aluminum wheel halves for the RC10 .

To not know you had all that stuff, man, you must have a huge rc collection !

LOL, like my wife says to me ALL the time, "I bet you really don't even remember what you have"....... My response, "Oh, yes I do".

shane - It's not so much the size of my collection but rather the way I store it .

mrlexan - My wife says similar things to me . I always tell my wife that it's organized chaos .

I just was at a hobby shop out of town and found a bunch of vintage Associated parts in a bin under a shelf. There was really nothing to get too excited about, but I bought everything they had for 60% off. I hope when I do a RC inventory check in the future I will come across all these parts I probably wont use and get as excited as when I found them the first time. I should get more excited because I wont have to pay for them again .

I think if you have to do an inventory check that maybe it's time to do an intervention reality check. I hope I don't become one of the people on the TV series "Hoarders"

vintage AE - I had a reality check a few years ago that was spearheaded by my wife. Seriously, I had got real bad about "hoarding" vintage RC stuff. Fusion speed tub chassis, over 20 different RC10's, a couple Avante's, etc. and that's was just the tip of the iceberg . My collection is now a way more manageable size but up until recently I had lost interest in the RC hobby all together. Since getting back up to speed with the hobby I have decided to try and finish up my seemingly ongoing hobby room re-organization .

I've tried to do an inventory, but to be honest it's too much of a undertaking. Call me what you want, but if you go there, everything IS organized and not trash or in trash piles.

mrlexan - I know exactly what you mean. You go in with good intentions and a plan only to get either get side tracked by something or finally realize exactly how long it will take to catalog all the little things.


BREAKING NEWS! - After "digging" some more I found all the parts needed to build the model below .
Here is my entry for the low buck build off:

I actually took some pics of my storage when I pulled some for a meeting on Sunday, I did once find a 1/5 I didn't remember owning








nothing as cool as that nip a&l though

Wow ! Finding that fifth scale was a good feeling wasn't it?

Overall I was in double figures on the 1/5 and trading some for others, then once I had 7 trimmed to I thought 3, I opened a big box expecting a Tamiya Terra Crusher, found a Harm SX-2, I never got the servos to work, so boxed it back up forgot all about it
