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

I´m into RC since about 30 years now (with some off times) and have run about any possible electric class and 1/8th nitro onroad during this time but the 1/10th electric pan cars had been my favourite class until now. Unfortunately I have given away all of my older pan cars beside my HPI RS10G what was my last pan car when I retired from this class in 1998.
Meanwhile I´m back again and beside some new cars got parts for AE 10LS, 10L2 and 10L3 for rebuilding.

One other brand I always wanted was Delta. Back in the days I had some friends running Delta 1/12th but never saw any of their 1/10th cars.
Meanwhile I know there was a 1/10th Villain and a 1/10th Super Villain also some special IFS front end. Was there also some other 1/10th Delta beside this 2 cars or any variations on these?
Are there any galleries with some detailed pictures from the 1/10th cars and how is the chance for getting one of these cars today?

You could try this site http://www.megaegg.ne.jp/~delta-mania/index.html
also some cars are pictured in threads on the other makes/models forum right here on 10talk so you could try a search on that forum.

Thanks. Will do more search in the forum.
I had found that japanese site already but did hope there is another website with higher resolution pictures so you could see a little more details from the design of the cars.

I had found a comment from someone at another forum who did collect Delta cars for 15 years but unfortunately lost the address to this website.

here is my DELTA.

Thanks for the pictures.
The 1/10th car is a Villain from my knowledge right?
What brand are these orange wheels? Did Delta also have their own wheels for 1/10th as they had for 1/12t as the colour look similar? I just know of the old Ellegi wheels what also were orange but I think it´s not the same orange.

Did you run this car in the past or did you buy this somewhere?

Here is my Delta.

Thanks for the pictures!
Meanwhile I did read the IFS frontend is a rare thing and now there are right 2 cars with that frontend.
Where did you find such a car or do you have this since a long time?
I hope I can find such a Delta 1/10th also anytime but I think it´s not that easy if you don´t know where to look.

I have to say it´s very amazing to see how advanced these Delta cars were that time. As I said in my first posting some friends of me were racing Delta 1/12th cars very long time ago but these didn´t have this IFS frontend.
It would be interesting to see how this frontend would work today.

I have a 1/12 Delta IFS front end NIP that I can share the instructions and images with you, and Trinity used there parts for the revolver/Magic Carpet Ride IFS front end as well, they just changed the ball cups and the captured ends-

Thank you that would be very nice. I will send you PM about this.

How rare are these 1/10 delta cars
Jerzi

I think the Delta 1/10th cars are as rare as most of the cars from that age. I think the only older cars what you could get in larger numbers are the RC10L.
Maybe this also depends in which country you´re living. Here you can find the very first RC10L quite often at Ebay and with some luck you can find Lynx II also sometimes. For any other 1/10th car it´s difficult but I haven´t searched very often until now.

Hi V12, Sorry for getting back u late. This DELTA Villain IFS is very rare & hard to find now. I got it from a collector. The wheels are Ellegi , and it is orange -red color. May be the light , when I taking the photos", change the color of them.
No, I never run this car, but I plan to run it . I have 1/10 Super Villain which is similar to the 1/12 Super Spyder. I will post it soon.

Hi camlchris
Ah OK I know these Ellegi wheels, I still have them in the old tirebox from the past. You just didn´t see on the picture what type these wheels are.
You have a Villain IFS and a Super Villain? You´re lucky guy.
I hope I can find both a 1/10th and a 1/12th Delta anytime in future. Searching trough Google I did find a Villain in new conditions at Ebay, right some days after the auction had ended.

When searching for informations on Delta cars I found two cars where ich struggle finding anything about.
This is the 1/12th P12 and the 1/10th Probe.
For the P12 I wonder where this name come from, all other Delta 1/12th are Phaser, Super-Phaser, Spider and now P12?
For the Probe I just know this was the first Delta 1/10th but I can´t find anything on this car. I spoke to someone who has Delta cars since years and he also just know there was a Probe but he also didn´t see anything on this car.

Someone knows anything on these two Deltas?

Delta's 1/12 are named as following order:
1) Phaser (no suspension)
2) Super Phaser ( which Art won the W.C.)
3) Super Phaser IFS
4) P12 Spyder ( the first 3 shocks on the rear end, and it has 2 version on the rear shock mounting system)
5) Super Spyder ( this is the final 1/12 DELTA made , the motor is mount in the centre line, just like the 12L )

Hope this infor can help.
