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

Image


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

Image


RC10T TEAM #7035 again not sealed, but NIB.

Image


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

Image

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. :lol: 8)

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 :lol:

Great collection.

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

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.

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 :wink:

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 :)

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.
