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

Went to my neighbour town today to the only local hobby shop (20 min drive), just to get some UM-parts for my Hot Trick Ultima.
I've been browsing his old stock many times before, but for some reason I didn't buy anything except some Lazer, Triumph...

someone said scorpion but i remember my tomahawk and it was a alloy box so i have no ideas

Hi guys!

Pretty new to this forum, and I got some interesting projects going on that I'll try to post this weekend.
I stumbled over rc10talk while searching the entire planet to gather Hot Trick parts to complete my Red Ultima, and when I realized...

Some of you might remember i got a killer deal last year , and scored some used, and a bit abused Tecna s . I sold off the Hot Trick Parts that came with it, and have been putting pieces together on this. The car is not mint by any means , but it...

I can't understand how much these cages are worth.

One just sold on e bay for $237 A.U.

Why is this. I know the other colours sell for even more.

Im a lucky one as i have a Turbo Javelin.( Turbo Optima with a Javillin cage on it)

Might sell it...

so i need some clarification on some of the different ultima arms i have ultima ,pro ultima II,sideways,outrage, and the part number is different for all of them the pro is ment to have long arms but they are all the same lenth can anyone throw some...

This car has been a blessing and a curse.

The blessing is that I got the car dirt cheap. Were talking $30. And it was in excellent shape considering. Came with a Futaba servo worth the price of the whole car. Came with an older GM racing ESC too....

I GOT AN ARC BUGGY !!! i need the spur gear set up (spur and spur mount) any help would be great...looks to use the same shaft as the duratrax firehammer but thats a 48 tooth spur i need a 45 tooth spur.. sorry not the best of pics its a friends...

Not mine obviously but thought it was cool replacements are available. i love seeing stuff like this just because then we can run vintage cars without the fear of replacing some rare part thats non-existant anymore lol

Hi, I'm not too big on Kyosho's, actually I've never owned one. But this one seams like a good deal. What car is it and should I grab it.

I'll be spraying a body to match the box art for the Mid SE. Anyone have a color code for it? Codes for all of the Optimas would be handy to have.

Just won this, kind of hoping it's only a victim of camera shake and nothing else:

I'll post more pics when it shows up.

Seems like most of the RC cars I start to restore are very old and hard to find parts for. This one is a lot newer than I usually do, but the Front wheel drive is way too cool to pass up. I did not do very well on the paint job, but looks good. This...

Came with a gold tub I just picked up. I have no idea except some parts definitely look Kyosho to me.

I usally hang in the AE buggy forum but was needing some help. Can anyone tell me what type of car this is? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys ,
Well, I finally beat you all out on what i think is a pretty good find. Ebay Item # 110423621381 , Now, i know the rims are a bit tarnished , the chassis is used and that poor old tranny has seen better days , but on my budget, I cant...

They are newly built (Turbo optima mid SE, Turbo Optima and Optima) and restored (Ultima and Rockey) Kyosho vintage buggies.

Next project will be Lazer ZX if I can get the ZX body.

Below photos are my Turbo Optima never ran status.
Optima body uploaded last topic and this Turbo Optima were painted by my friend, NK graphics in Korea.

I matched the radios and battery as vintage parts and ready to run staus.

well they could have done this so much better... if they had used a little more metal instead of black plastics. with narrow front tires. and metal shock bodies. and a little more attention to detail regarding the looks of a desert buggy. they could...

new to me ultima st

Hey guys, this is just an FYI. If you're looking for something different for your Ultima builds, you can still get Outrage bodies (UM-46) direct from Kyosho. The Outrage body is perfect for the LWB Utlima XL chassis as it's long enough to fit...

Who out there has one and does anyone have info or links on these formula 1 cars :?:

Ok, first off, have you ever felt you have gotten yourself in over your head on a certain project(s)?

I have. I got my hands on a very good condition Turbo Ultima a while ago, and have been searching for parts since then to get it where I want it....

All - in light of recent prices on EBAY for NIP original OT-30 optima tires (unbelievable! :shock: ), I have decided that I will keep the ones that came with my NIB kit unused for the shelf and try to source some cheap alternatives should I decide...

I'm positive these parts are intended for a kyosho car: no other maufacturer uses the odd M2.6 screwsize for pivot balls. But the poisition of the pivot ball is much higher than on the optima plastic part. Any idea which car it would be for, or if...

The one in the front are from Cross for reference, but how about the darker gold one in the rear? I think it's from GPM?

A guy has been trying to sell these Ultima Pro parts for what seems like years on a local auction site. I don't know if they are hard to find parts or not but they are all new. He is looking for $70 for what you see here. I could buy the lot if...

I do believe in white tire lettering, driver dolls, tails for Javelins and bodies for Stinger MK 11s..they exist..I'm just lazy and my completion rate isn't high. I don't personally believe in reproductions so these are original.

The Optima in the...

This is one of my favorite cars in my collection.Wanted to share it with you guys.I'll try to post some nicer pics later.

Hi guys I have this Kyosho Ultima that I want help indentifying...as far as I know it's about 1993-1994 vintage. I was thinking that it might have been some sort of team car going by the Team Kyosho New Zealand decal on the rear wing. I really like...

Hi everyone,

I have an original Kyosho Ultima that is in need of some new/aftermarket shocks. The shock collars are broken, and the shocks themselves simply dont work. I have searched the internet and found that the Kyosho Option House...

i got these from Gary (redscampi) in a trade, thanks gary! the 2 bandidos with the red tubs where completly stripped down and cleaned up. then i made one good one using all the parts from the 2. the best one is the one with the black body,next best...

I picked this up locally from a craigslist ad. A real nice guy named Jeff. Interestingly, Jeff also has a whole bunch of vintage Tamiya stuff listed here, including a Super Champ and a mint Subaru Brat. Looks like a great package deal!

I know this...

I purchased this Truck on Ebay.It is a Team edition.
Does anyone know the deffrent between Team Edition and the ordinary XRT

//U.p

This car is on a local auction site for $160 are 4WD on road cars like this rare?

Hey guys, first off sorry I'm sure this has been posted before, but I can't seem to find it.

I have an original chassis for the ultima (metal one) and I have a complete roller for a newer ultima (it's the on-road car). I want to get the old one...

Here is a pic on my newrestored Optima.

This is inspired by RCCA's Project Optima in their Dec. '87 issue.

Since I don't have a gold Optima or a Kyosho buggy at all, this Spider EP TF2 touring car chassis is going to have to do. I've had this car for 15 years and it saw little action...

Hello. I hope all are having a great holiday season. For one of my acquired gifts, I was given a belt/chain driven RC. I have attached pics. I know absolutely nothing about this truck and I am being told the buggy has been in the family for over 20...

Here's an old one I always drooled over in the Tower Hobbies catalog....a 4wd Vanning.
Picked this up pretty cheap. It's complete and the only real damage is a broken weld on the rear of the cage. Came with a bunch of extra parts, starter, 2 O.S....

Here are some pictures of my recently completed Turbo Optima. Nothing too special, just your standard box art Turbo Optima but I made all the decals on an Alps.

OK, long time no post. I've been very busy with crawlers but also worked on several vintage projects in parallel which means a lot of time passes without any actual project ending! Finally finished this one though.
Got this Ultima II for $20 off...

this is a new optima mid that I am almost finished with just have a couple things that I might change on it hope you like
