A Few of my AE Kits

[JR]

Well since I dont think Ive posted a single pic I figured Ide show off some of my AE kits I have. Ive got to dig out alot of my other kits Ive got but anyways...

RC10 #6011 Factory sealed and shrinked




RC10T #7011 Not sealed, but NIB. Box isnt the best, but the goodies inside are.




RC10T TEAM #7035 again not sealed, but NIB.




RC12E #3010 This kit comes partially built from associated, and its NIB also.



Heres another pic of a few of my RC's from when I first moved here. They are dusty unfortunately, but I havent had time for them for about 2 years now, and I still haven t had much time for them still. I still have a bunch of rc's in rubbermaid containers. Tons of RC stuff to purge through still.

Sweet! FYI. Love the SNIBs! I have a 12e SNIB either the RTR version with a Futaba Radio or just the chassis kit if you are into collecting SNIBs. They will be pricey though, but I am open to interesting trades (I know Hoopty, this is not the Trades section). Let me know.

Nice stuff!

Very impressive collection. I especially like the little RX-7. Micros RS4? Oh yeah, the other stuff is pretty nice too.

Man looking at the group pic depresses me. I didnt bother to give them the love they deserve so sad. The EK4 wheels are packed in a rubbermaid bin somewhere, the Kyosho 1/9 with the cheesy ek4 lid has a tupperware bin filled with all new goodies to fully restore that kit (minus the body as I still havent located one), the high roller hasnt been touched since I bought her off of ebay which I have lots of parts to get her in fairly good condition, and so on. Guess being newly married and owning a home can slow down a hobby.

Anyways The kits pictured are,

Tamiya TLT-1
Tamiya Mountaineer
MRP High Roller
Losi XXX4 Graphite LRP 7.1 ESC, Orion Mod 9s (Orion sponsored driver motor)
Losi XXX-T MF Novak GT7 ESC, Reedy Ti 12d
OFNA Monster Pirate 2 spd, JP Racing .21 with untrimmed body posts
RC10GT FT With many RPM and Trinity aluminum hop ups, also have an Odonnell modded OS .12 for it RB X.12 in there now
Kyosho 1/9 Pathfinder Electric version with the 2 Mega motors installed
Kyosho Javelin only ran a few times
Kyosho Gallop
HPI MicroRS4 Orion Graphite chassis, Orion mini mod motor, and a novak Spy esc
TT EK4 .70 BEAST custom Alum. wheelie bar (definately needed) lots of MSJ hopups also, and OFNA Hyper 7 diffs (my fix to crap TT parts)
Tamiya Blackfoot My second real RC kit. 70% new parts either installed or nip waiting to be installed
Kyosho 1/9 Will be a 4 Runner if I find a body for it. Have lots of new pieces for it. Want to remove ugly ek4 body soon!
Traxxas TMAXX Never was impressed by it. Replaced the TRX 2.5 engine with a sirio .18 and it still ran like crap. Think theres tranny issues from factory.

That sure is a nice Mountaineer but what would make it look much better is if it was sitting on my shelf

Great collection.

love that blackfoot!
bumbest thing i ever got rid off.
actually sold it to fund my 50/50 rc10 purchase with my parents

[justinspeed79]

I always loved the Blackfoot too. I had 3 of them over the years, wish I still had 1 of them now.

[shodog]

While there were other monster trucks, I think the blackfoot is really popularized the whole monster truck scene. If I ever had to get rid of my r/c vehicles, my blackfoot would be one of the last to go.

[justinspeed79]

I bet your right. I can even remember when they sold Blackfoot's <Blackfeet?> at toy-r-us.

While there were other monster trucks, I think the blackfoot is really popularized the whole monster truck scene.

Yup, I agree. I raced mine! Unfortunately I don't have it anymore. It had a lexan body, reedy stock motor, associated shocks, and the monster beetle chocolate chip tires LOL. Man I miss that thing........ I might consider picking up a beat one from the bay and rebuild it for the stock class at the local track

[beardxxxd]

heck ya.. blackfoot.. i refuse to even comment on the blackfoot "X"treme
some new rims and low profile tires on it.. that thing was great on carpet racing. (on some old 2 stick futuba)
just had to run a lexan body.. that stock body was just shy of 10lbs..... freaking "kc daylighters"

even to this day i use 2 of the blackfoot stock rims and tires as car stands for my rc10

[JR]

I love the Blackfoot, and I got a funny story about her. I broke her down to clean her up for shelf duty and polish the metal. On reassembly of the chassis I used a touch of loctite on the front screws and the next day the chassis was shattered wherever the loctite touched. Oh well I learned the hard way that my hardcore nitro days dont always carry over to the electrics. from replacing the chassis with a nip one, I went down the line and replaced alot of the Foot witn NIP stuff. I would love the complete Thorp hopups for the Foot! Well heres a few of my race rigs up close and some of the vintage stuff.
