1. Has anybody here tried the CRP front double wishbone suspension on an FX-10? If so, what shocks did you use?
2. Does the FX10 come with oil filled rear dampers, or are they friction?
3. If they are friction, what length Tamiya Black CVA's do I...

Futaba used their strong relationship with Tamiya to release this car. It is indeed a clone of the Tamiya.
This is another one of my projects that I am putting the finishing touches on. Have this and another gas cage that I am selling now on ebay.
Then I have an electric one that i will try and work on soon.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks. :D

A so you grabbed that from ebay I was tempted but didn't want to dish out what he was asking for it. Though I will say it shows much better in the light, whats on the rear wheels to make the tires fit? Nice grab none the less I would shelf it along...

Here is a 6x6 oddity made by Robbe. Dual motor, belt drive 6x6 amphibian. Robbe and Graupner seemed to be pretty good and making weird stuff like this. Definitely unique.

Jim Jenkins started Latrax in the 70's and then sold off the company to Brinkmann in 1980. Then in 1986 he started Traxxas. So there you have it. They had no relation back in the day other than the guy who founded LaTrax went on to start Traxxas...
Just received this the other day from a guy who has had this on a shelf for the last 40 some years. It looks to be about 1/8 scale and has a 19 Mccoy. It's crazy how much detail this car has for it's age. The body is fiberglass and the chassis and...

I heard a saying that fits peaces this, it said that we are only caretakers of these peaces of art to carefor for a short time before we pass on to the next person to then care for them.
Well this has been kickin around the basement for about two years. It was given to me from a guy at work he got it new when he was a kid. It really seemed not worthy but after tearing it down it seems pretty cool :roll:

well, if anyone did get that car, I have the body for it.
That's not too bad a price. I think the bullet hole can be covered. At least the hole isn't the buckshot variety found on most RC weight loss projects :lol:
You have a point there. :lol:
i have a new in the box academy lazer. I have never seen one of these i was wondering if anyone knows anything about it.

Thankyou JK.
I have the black spring on the diff already, so it seems I'll have to look further into what's keeping it from going smooth without slipping.
I'll doublecheck your pics again to be sure.

Hi Bormac. I reckon it's the flash yellow paint and red tub ;-)
I didn't think I would ever own one of these.... a vintage 1/8th Thorp On Road Chassis. New, never used and partially built. It is missing some parts, but that is fine with me. So, if anyone has parts, let me know and I will also add the wanted...

Jay,
Rare find. Very nice addition to your collection. It's a lot of fun to come across that rare stuff, especially in new condition.
Going through my old RCCA magazines I stumbled across a snapshot of the Tommy 4wd car. Does anyone have an info on these or better yet does anyone here have one?
I would like to get one but I'm wondering about price and most of all parts...
I found an ad for a Team Pit Stop NOVA oval truck in a November 1992 issue of Radio Control Racer today, and would like to know if anyone has any info, pics, etc. of one of these trucks?

This is from Fall 1990 TPS catalog. I can send a much larger scan if needed!
Anybody ever see one of these before? It's a 1/4 scale made by WCM. Asking around it sounds like it was built around '93 or '94 so you could consider it vintage :wink:
The car is about 4 foot long and weights around 30 pounds. It is...

15 HP ?!?
Right now the G230RC's are making a whooping 2.5 hp, and you can get them dyno tuned so they make 2.8 hp. :lol:
Of course, none of that stuff is legal at most of the tracks. You really can't do anything to the motors to make them go...

I always liked that clone version of the grasshopper. It had some good hop-ups.

What parts were you able to score from Stormer?
From Stormer I was able to get fresh Corally wheels front and rear, greens for the SP-II and Golds for the SP-12. I got the gold wheel insert decals that came on the NIB cars back then. The rear...
Thought I would share this with you guys. They don't get much older than this (I have really gotten into the ancient stuff lately). I don't know the actual release year of these, but they were popular in the late 1960's. This is a 1/8th scale...

That article I was referring to is in the August 1991 RC Model Cars Mag. It is authored by Norb Meyer, whom had 50% equity in creating the Ra/Car in 1968. I will post it when I get a chance, likely over the weekend. Great Read for Sure!
