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

Hi everybody from the frozen north. Just sort of dipping my toes in the hobby stuff again, now that my kids are starting to pull my old cars down from the shelves and pushing them around the house. Cool to see a forum for the old school AE stuff out there, I have a few beaters and a shelf queen in my collection from a ways back. I didn't realize that there were other collectors out there.

Welcome Kristian!

If you didn't realize it before, you'll definitely realize it soon. Your toes might be wet now, but be careful not to get in over your head.

What made me sign up was reading about the rerelease of the worlds car on a website and that the originals are sought after. I have an original that was assembled as far as a rolling chassis, but thats it. I was thinking about either gluing the tires and finishing it, or selling, but now I'm not sure that would be a good idea.

Sell it to me!

Welcome, lots of crazy Canucks here and really great people here. Trust me - once you start down the dark path of modern RC, forever will it dominate your wallet

Oh I know. I've only been away from RC for about five years. Before that I worked at my local hobby store almost full time for three or four years, never a pay cheque once. I'm just glad I didn't do anything silly like sell my stuff in a garage sale. I converted a Traxxas Slayer that used to be a Revo to brushless last summer, as well as playing with a brushless Erevo. I guess I better put some pictures in the gallery section of my collection.

Welcome to the forum from an Albertan. I think a good percentage of us discovered this site after pulling our old RC cars out of dusty boxes and wanting to restore or refurbish--or rebuild/modernize them. And then join the rest of us in spending too much money on toy cars.

Here's the one that got me to sign up here. Crappy cell phone pic, I'll have to set up to do some decent pics one of these days. Another expensive and time consuming hobby.

Looks like an easy clean up


Flip that spur over too

If it's backwards, its been that way since new. It's a worlds car that has never been run. I bought it just as it sits about 15 years ago, and it's been sitting g on a shelf ever since. Unfortunately the guy that put it together painted the body first.

An original Worlds car never ran and put on a shelf for 15 years, that's awesome I think… a shame you didn't run it BID but good now though.

Shelf that thing and get a re re, would be nice neat and clean.welcome sir..keep warm...

Marlon, what you really want to see are those front tires
