MRC MRX - I remember a good few years ago seeing this advert, it was in Radio Control Model Cars, May 1988 as a kid I was thinking this car looked pretty rad. So here we are 33 years on and I've picked up this MRC MRX off a great chap as a winter...

Hello Mike,
No photo with complete restauration with my new body? :mrgreen:
Damien
A great body it is Damien, all cut and fitted, loving it clear but your right a paint scheme is needed to truly set it off.....
This version of the Monogram came with oil shocks, bearings, battery and charger
Here is a big difference- look how MRC breaks it down for parts vs how Monogram did!
I had a...

I do agree, facebook is impossible to search. I just wish forums had taken some of the positives from facebook and implemented them, I think it would have helped keep some of the userbase.
I bought this buggy from fellow member cyberfox some time ago and now plan to run it in a vintage race closeby.
My initial plan when I bought this was to put Lazer arms on it. I tried, and Tamiya df-03, and Academy wyvern. None worked out.
I did...

Nice, what was the mix of cars in your class?
It was limited to the release years 87-88 so mainly cat xls's and optima mid's, and a single hybrid: 870C mixed with a Cat front end.
I'm not a good driver and was struggling with technical issues,...
About eight years ago my Parents bought me a second hand MRC Thunder King. The truck is amazing. It has two drive motors that allow the truck to traverse almost any obstacle. But I'm having an issue with battery life, or lack there of. The truck...

I am looking at upgrading to an ESC. As of right now I am still running the mechanical speed controller with a LiPo that I picked up for $15. Once I made that switch, I went from about one and a half minutes to 25. I cut it off at 25 minutes to...
Got this MRC MT10 from a friend a few years ago. I actually helped build and paint it back in '95. Hardly used, it has virtually no scratches on it just a little dust and some old, double sided, sticky foam used as servo tape or something. I took...

Hey found this post when looking for a part online for a MRC Ironman that has been shelved for years. I decided to bring it back to life, so I put a brushless motor on it and it shreded the idler gear. I have been able to find a couple rollers...

How similar is it to the Thunderking? Is it just body mounts and tires or is there more? Really want to build one but you only see the Thunderking's for sale.
The thunder king and Baja king were the same. Only difference was the body and tires....
Hey folks, just joined up after browsing through the forum and I really like what I see so I figured I'd throw some of my projects up. I like restoring/restomoding older rc's so I'll start with my current project. This is an MRC Thunder King I...

Hey,
I was wondering if you had a parts list for the carriers and gear you used to allow for hex wheels? I just received a Thunder King for rebuild and am trying to figure out my options. Any luck finding dog bones or some substitute? Thanks!
After MRX and Santana, the next MRC car I have to present is the Sand Master, french alternative to Kyosho Maxxum FF 8)
I still only have to find a few parts, and it will be complete :)

Mrc was distributed in belgium. Flanders as well as wallonia.
i loved their 4wd, it looked like a lovechild of a Cat and Optima underneath the lexan shell.
In the MRC family, I will now present the MRX.
There were 4 versions of this car: 4x2 and 4x4, each one 'standard', and 'competition' with all the options on it.
Mine is 4x4 standard :)
It was not too used when I bought it, this is the car...

I just painted the body of my MRX:
I'm not completely satisfied with it, blue paint I used is darker than I though, I find it too dark :?
Here's my old Q-Tee (MRC/Academy) 4wd R/C. I transformed it from street rod to off-road basher. The Q-tee was made by Academy Models and distributed by MRC. The Q-Tee is basically the same as the Academy Wyvern 4wd. Enjoy the photos and thanks for...

I've got two of these, one sealed and one only partially built. Looking through get rid of both if someone is interested.
I got this one for what I consider a steal, but it was missing the body, decals, tires, and motor. I have a few tricks up my sleeve for those, but for now...let's build it!
No slipper for the Hammerhead and Ironman, it...

Been sitting on this one while the hobby room is under construction, the parts from Tower arrived while I was in disassembly mode. Finally mounted the body tonight after locating my scissors lol
Since it was missing the body and tires I decided...
Mr. Ed asked for some pictures of the Santana so here goes.
The first one is an original Santana Junior apart from the tyres and rims.
I threw out the originals the other day. They where quite ugly and mounted with foam tyres.

heyyyy, this is 2 french cars 8)
I have to tell a few things in french :lol: : belle trouvaille, je ne suis pas fan de cette série de carrosserie, mais le chassis était pas mal après quelques fiabilisations :)
I need help finding rims and tires to fit my old MRC baja king. I can still use my rims if I can find some tires to fit them. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I have a Desert Thunder buggy, tires got flattened in storage. Wish I could find a set of these or a way to fix the ones I have ?
I know a couple people here like the TK, so I thought I should start a thread on my new find. I feel like a molehill next to JHarris' mountain :wink: , but I got a very nice Thunder King in trade today. The body is flaking, but in decent shape, so I...

Ok... I impatiently installed an LMT 3100 motor on 14.8v (MGM Compro 8012-3s esc). It's a bullet for such an enormous truck. :shock:
I think I'm going to install a 2nd steering servo or I may try the A&L steering stiffening kit I got on eBay. It...
