I dusted off the parts and this is what I have so far: Run-001 copy.JPG Run-002.JPG Run-003.JPG Run-004.JPG Run-005.JPG Run-006.JPG Run-007.JPG I have run it once so far. We walked around the block (0.80 miles) running the car up and down the street the whole time. The front end really pushes on the...

Hello again, I’m back! Since I was here last, the wife and I have sold a home, downsized, and moved to a retirement community. I sold the Worlds Car Re-re while we were packing up, but kept my old RC10, which is now 3-1/2 years older :) I plan to get it back together soon and will post some photos. ...

Here's my grocery-getter: a hatchback hybrid with a 6-speed manual

Thanks RC for the info:)

Now I'm really into cleaning this one up for shelf display, def the way I want to go with it.

Thanks for the encouragement :) I found two more pairs of rear wheels with barely worn tires in the storeroom, along with the unused silver shock springs. These wheels also have the silver paint like the ones above in the photos, which I am liking less and less. I wonder what would take it off witho...

Yes, it does have low run time. I never raced it, just ran it in my street/driveway and next door in the dirt while their house was being built. I am debating how much clean-up vs replacement parts to use. For instance, the ball caps are distressed a bit, so I ask myself: should I replace them? The ...

Update: I have decided to clean up my old "A" stamp for a shelf display of "what it looked like when I was running it in the '80s". The body and wing are in pretty good shape, the tires are spare originals and unused, and the silver-painted wheels will probably stay painted. I ma...

Thanks for the encouragement :) I do want to run it occasionally, so maybe some modern parts will go have to go into it? Hmm..I do still have that old rheostat… I also have the Futaba transmitter from back then. It feels like it weighs 5 pounds compared to the featherweight Traxxas TQ that came with...

Oops, I should have mentioned that in my youthful excitement, I painted them thirty years ago. I guess I did a pretty good job :) I'm thinking that since I have the Traxxas rtr for driver's training, I might continue with their power and radios for the RC's. I'm not ever going to be racing, just hav...

**Hello again! this is an old thread now brought back to life by the OP, please see update posted at the end** Hello all, from an old codger in Georgia, USA. I have discovered my old RC10 from the mid '80s that has been stored away for about three decades. I think I have a gold pan with "A"...

Thanks RR, I was actually downloaded in MA, but my parental units moved to GA when I was 10 months old. I guess one could say I was a [R]elocated [C]hangling @ [10] months. I will need advice on my resto of the "A" RC10, and also for completing the WC re-re when it arrives. Everyone here s...

Hello all, I'm and old codger from Georgia, USA. I have my old RC10 from the mid '80s that has been in storage for about three decades. After reading a bit on this forum, I think I have a paler gold pan with "A" stamped on the bottom and a lighter "A" stamped on the top. I have t...
