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

I've been collecting Tamiyas for several years now and thought my collection would consist of them exclusively. Then a buddy of mine said he had an old r/c car he used to race back in '88. Of course I had to look into it! Turned out to be an RC10 in pretty good shape. I have since taken it apart and cleaned it up as well as added a few goodies. What a great car to drive! This is a great site and I look forward to learning more about these sweet buggies!

I'll second that notion. Its an addiction for sure.

Looks good, nice work

Please don't chuck the original white nylon wing buttons since they're kind of rare at this point

Addiction is right i've spent most of the weekend on this site...lol

Welcome ViperChief, I am a new member myself and your right this site is great and you will find alot of info and knowledge from a great group of people.

Love your rim and tire setup, are those the JC racing wheels?
Either way they look great
I just ordered a set for my soon to be built gold pan (got everything but the gold pan..lol )

Man I love that rim, tire and wing combo! With the right paint that will be a killer buggy!

Not sure, but I might already have an addiction "problem"!

See what happens when you leave them alone. They breed and multiply.

my wife usually walks in and looks at the shelf and just knows there is more since the last time she counted

Need bigger shelves that way looks like less there.

Cool! By the looks of things, your not a FNG! Sweet collection and thanks for sharing!
