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

Hey guys,

I used to race as a teenager back in the day in El Paso, Texas. My first car was a Tamiya Superchamp, then I got an RC10 right when it came out. My dad lived in SoCal in the 80s, so when I would visit he would take me to all the OG tracks around Los Angeles.

I would kill to still have all the old buggies I raced. I had an A-stamp RC10, and Yokomo Dogfighter SE, and a CAT XL.

I am currently trying to restore an A-stamp to shelf queen status, have a Pro CAT re-re shelf queen, and a JJ Ultima on the way from A-main that I am going to do some track runs with.

Around 2011 I got back into the hobby racing 1/8 nitro buggies and some 1/10 buggy. It was fun, but never quite hit me like those golden days.

I will have alot of question for my restoration RC10 build soon, but just wanted to say Howdy to the forum.

Welcome David

Welcome David. I too have a connection for that period and was in southern California as a teenager amongst to Scorpions, SRB's, 834b's and the earliest gold tubs.
"Golden" age for sure imo. - Brian

Here is the CAT.
And here is the Ultima.

I will post some RC10 pics when I have something a little more presentable. My A-Stamp restoration project is definitely a work in progress.

I dig the flo pink on the JJ Ultima

Welcome back, and welcome to the forums David!

Coincidentally, I painted a Cougar in that color, and put the same decals in pretty much the same places
