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

This is my first rc car back in 1985-86. It's now odd parts or part on an Off-road car (pictures of it later).

I've finally got around to looking for a mid '80's RC10 buggy and have found one locally going at a good price.
Can someone date this sucker?
My economic forecast for 2009 looks bleak if I win this buggy:shock:
Dig that funky CRP bumper...That'll...

Hello All,
Does anyone know of an expected window of when these kits will begin shipping?

So I've just completed a recreation of my old vintage hotshot and I went with the original yellow Tamiya CVA shocks for the build as that's the way it was BITD , anyway last weekend I met up with a mate and we went for a bash at a local spot , he...

Little giveaway for owners of the 40th anniversary kits to see who has the highest kit number *edit- AND LOWEST NUMBER*. Since AE won't tell us the total number made we will have to see if we can approximate it by collecting numbers ourselves. I'm...

I recently dusted off the Rocky 4WD I built in the early 80s and used and handful of times around my yard back then. It's fully functional and I'm wondering if there's a market for these. Any info anyone might have would be greatly appreciated! It's...

The budget runner brothers freshly-batteried for summer and ready for first shakedown!
The brushless car features a JC Racing transmission (adapted for stock dogbones with a slight motor plate mod for pin-clearance which works great).

I recently had 2 Kyosho OT-85 center gears (idlers) printed by Shapeways.
The gears were printed MJF PA12. Vapor smoothing or any smoothing was not an option.
The gear faces are not particularly well finished. Probably nature of the beast.
I really...

It's been a while but I'm back to working on my MM Rustler project. I've decided to design a new version which is why I've started this new thread. It's been a long time since I started my original mid motor conversion and in that time I've gotten...

I am getting ready to start work on the new RC10 B7D. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice before I start?

Trying to help out Team Blue Groove locate a Pro-X / Pro-XRT gear cover they could reproduce, and of course they will return it. TBG just released their Pro-XRT reproduction body. I have a set of Pro-XRT wheel covers I plan on sending them soon to...

So, inspired by MXACRES on YouTube I’m building a Bandit from the ground up because I figure if I bought the buggy whole, I’d wind up replacing everything eventually, so why not just build it from the ground up with good parts to begin with(?)....

Anyone here into tractor pulling? I have been anxious to get into some sort of local RC competition, but 1:8 buggy racing is out of my skill set, and everything else is just too far away to justify getting into. But, through a FBMP deal this...

I'm trying to get a certain color for a 1/10 '67 Corvette body. I can't find the exact color match in Tamiya, or Duratrax polycarb spray paints.

I've seen some people say that if the inside of a lexan body is roughed up with a green pad to produce...

Well, I recently caught the bug after my Dad and I saw the 40th RC10. I just had to have a vintage gold pan too and then the rabbit hole of various editions. I went a little crazy and bought 2 a pretty mint Cadillac and a RC10 Graphite that I think...

Since my other car projects are about 90% done, it makes sense that I forget about them and dive into another.

Here's my JRX Pro-SE. My parents bought it for me very late in my RC car racing phase so I raced it very little and did very poorly...

I'm really not interested is trying to make a faithful replica of anyone else's car, but the Dead Pool RC10 is a street based RC10 with my favorite Corvette body so I definitely need one as a runner (probably without real explosive charge, even...

Looking at the B4/SC10 steering blocks (#9880), I noticed that the bearings were only slightly smaller than 5X10X3 mm bearings.

I reamed the steering blocks with a 25/64 drill bit by hand. The fit on the 10mm bearings is tight.

I also had to open...

Saw this parts car on ebay and thought it looked like something cool to build up but after some research looks like finding parts is next to impossible.

vintage Delta T shirt , enjoy ! :D

I purchased this roller from a guy that I horse-trade with semi regularly in regards to RC cars. He B/S/Ts in all RC, and he gives me a buzz when he gets vintage stuff. These are great guys to have on your side! From a couple of cars I had gotten...
