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

There was not just one brand. At some point I knew the size but don´t remember now. But also I´m not a slot expert. Just knew what Jim told me or what I found. But old brain is fading. Usually slot brushes don´t have a shunt wire as it´s with R/C motors. There were a few but not much. From what I he...

There is a lot more history behind several of the well known RC motor builders, all originating from the 70's slot scene. I started delving into this and ended up buying an original Mick Goddard (MG) 550 slot car, fully hand made from brass bars and plates. Super cool. Mick was big in the slot scene...

I never have heard about a Reedy BK motor before but I think at this time I was more interested in Trinity or HPI based motors. And made a couple of conversions for my own needs. Do you have pics for that special armature? And what timeframe was this? Well I´m asking this for a reason. First, I thin...

For those of us in the USA… that would be called “government work”. “Doing” a foreigner in the USA would be prostitution

Came across this gem while watching YouTube.

The crashes are fun to watch in slow motion. The track Marshall steps on Ralph Burch Jr. car at 23:50! Ouch!

#3 is from a kyosko mint Baja or the 4wd version, maybe. But definitely the 2wd model. 1/8" scale as phin said

Have all sorts of chassis and no idea what they went to. The guy was into dirt oval and it's sadly something I never ran except with converted Losi stadium trucks or buggies :P Any ideas on these? I greatly appreciate all the help! L to R: Composite Craft RC10 oval Composite Craft RC10T ovaL Trinit...

Scored a couple big bear projects lately and after thinking about it for a while I decided to create a chassis for one of em. Nothing crazy, with the very limited suspension I didn’t even bother accommodating oil shocks. Battery can fit sideways or lengthways, and it will support a shorty as well. B...

hi,

The plug looks like 1980s Robbe/Futaba. IIRC, Robbe (like other European manufacturers) often renamed imported products sold under their own name.

Thanks to Adam, Daryl’s son, I have one of the original Volvo wagons built for the ads.

Bolink: Doing quick-change things before quick-change was cool! :D Super happy to have found this Eliminator Enduro in great condition. I added the following period parts: - Novak T-4, NER-2x, NES-1A & Stutter Stopper - Trinity Slot Machine - PTI matched 1200 SCR's - Futaba FP-T2PD Magnum AM rad...

Someone have an idea which car this go for?

If I was to hazard a guess, I would say that's the Tamiya Porsche 959 Practice Bumper... the one that's NOT in red in this image. Alex

I traveled to Del Mar in July of 1985 to attend the first 1/10 scale off road championships. I had a 35mm SLR camera and took 50+ pictures. Some good, some not so good. The pictures were on display in my hobby shop until I closed it in the early 90's. If you want to take a look I have them in an alb...

So a few days ago I found out about a car I had never heard of before, an RC10B3x. FB_IMG_1671071977619.jpg The car was run at the at the postponed 2001 Ifmar Worlds in 2002, and seems to have been raced at other tracks in 2002. Here is what Kurt Wenger mentioned on FB about it's specs: It was a new...
