Re: 2019 RC10Talk.com Vintage Shootout - 3/31/19 - Crispy Critters Hobby Shop and Raceway - Fairfield, NJ

Hoping to have it again in March. Great news...I live in south Jersey and would be very interested in attending. Are the class entry fees the same as the VONATS? I've been to the VONATs a few times and, while the event is well organized, there is no tech inspection at all which leads most reasonabl...

RC10 gold pan body

Hi guys, I just picked up an original gold pan without a body and I'm having trouble finding the one I want for it. I've checked Ebay and the TBG website and so far can only find their Stealth repro, Intruder repro and Mirage repro but none of those are identical to the body that came with my re-re ...

Seems like attendance wasn't great. Was that the case?

Re: 2018 Vintage Off-Road Nationals - R/C Excitement Inc. Fitchburg, MA Sept. 14-16

I think we can certainly agree to disagree here. At least so far, I haven't had any reason to be suspicious of anyone cheating at this event. That doesn't mean it cannot or will not happen in the future, I will grant you that, but someone else cheating never affects how much fun I have. I guess thi...

Re: 2018 Vintage Off-Road Nationals - R/C Excitement Inc. Fitchburg, MA Sept. 14-16

Man, this has become an exhausting thread to read... Here's hoping for some cool pics of vintage R/C cars from the upcoming VONAT's! Yes, very exhausting indeed but Renaldo seems to love a spirited debate which I can appreciate. I usually post dozens of VONAT pics each year in my Tamiya club show r...

Re: Super Astute rere

Dang it... they might get me with this one. My '92 / '93 buggy collection currently has a Dyna Storm, but should technically have the Super Astute (DS wasn't really floating around in the US until Spring/Summer '93). But do I really want a Dyna Storm AND Super Astute? The DS has so much more cool f...

"Ok, so your definition of selective enforcement of the rules is really just which rules are applied to everyone and which are not, based on what you'd see at a sanctioned event. I was under the impression that you thought the VONATS rules were being enforced on some drivers but not others. Th...

Great news! The Avante doesn't interest me but I'll definitely pick up a Super Astute.

"I think you're overstating the issue. Just look at how much you've been emphasizing it throughout this thread. You also talk about selective "open" rules, but I don't know what you mean by that. Can you cite an example of how those rules have been enforced "selectively" and...

Re: 2018 Vintage Off-Road Nationals - R/C Excitement Inc. Fitchburg, MA Sept. 14-16

I'm certainly no great driver, and I most certainly was in the way last year fighting traction due to a poor setup and driving. I know there were instances where there was grumbling that I(or others) didn't move 'fast enough' out of the way. At that point, I did my best to try and allow faster traf...

Re: 2018 Vintage Off-Road Nationals - R/C Excitement Inc. Fitchburg, MA Sept. 14-16

What is there to tech inspect? Dynamic timing is allowed in all classes with a 17.5, 13.5, or 10.5 motor at VONATS and so there's really no point in tech inspecting the cars. If you're worried about somebody running an "illegal" motor, it really doesn't matter if boost is allowed anyway. ...

Re: 2018 Vintage Off-Road Nationals - R/C Excitement Inc. Fitchburg, MA Sept. 14-16

The extra 2hrs of travel does suck, but I think it's worse that it's further north. 2hrs SW of CT would have been nice. Could have shaved some travel time off the trip for guys in the mid west that want to go and would be driving. But, you have to go where there is a track willing to host it. Absol...
