Not that we have tons of new members each day, but we thought we would restructure this forum a little bit and use this spot for new members to introduce themselves.
Hello there folks. I've visited the board many times over the past few years, but never signed on. I started RC back in '92 with my snow shovelling money and a used Tamiya 300zx. This habit continued through *many* cars until I had kids of my own...

Welcome to the forum , social media is fun but no substitute for a forum where things are more permanent and can be used as a resource of knowledge.
New here, I just bought two vintage Kyosho cars, one NOS Rowdy Baja and Fantom 20 Exp P3, looking all information I can, great place for learning, thanks for the add.

Welcome to the forum , there's an answer to virtually any RC car question you have here .
in 1985 i begged my parents to get me a Kyosho Pegasus. I really wanted an RC10, but that was too expensive for a 14 year old according to my parents (boo). after spending two summers completely trashing the Pegasus, it was stolen from our back...

Welcome to the forum , looks like your going to fit in great , very lucky to still have your cars .
while still having the cars is pretty cool, they were all very well used and abused. the least challenging to get back to running condition is the...
Hi everyone. I trash picked a couple boxes of RC stuff. One box had a gold pan rc10 with all kinds of extra stuff. Other boxes had plane and boat parts in them. All paperwork and receipts ranged from 83 to 89. Anyhow, i have never owned a remote...

Welcome aboard, I've never seen an adapted 1:1 rig like yours. I bet that makes getting around a lot easier and way cooler than a mini van!

Finally posting on this forum after just recently joining. I am not new to rc cars however you could say like a lot of us I’ve had an extend break from the hobby. I collected and read rc car magazines and catalogues religiously in the 90’s. As like...

Cool story Sean, thanks for sharing. I too enjoy reading/hearing how folks got into the hobby. As mentioned, earlier RC10's will likely be easier to source and build in lieu of the B2/3. Also, reproduced 3D printed RC10 parts are more common.
Hey guys new member here as of a week or so ago. Just thought I would introduce myself here..I was on clod talk which will shut down officially on the 1st. I love the site same format and the topics here are great. Hope all is well with everyone...

Welcome Harry , I only in the last few years learned of Robbe and I think we'd all love to know more from someone inside the company , I'm hoping you have collected a few you can share with us ,the more pictures the better :D .

Nice job. Its very cool that you have your original car from childhood.
New to the forum, stumbled across it when I was looking for parts for my old RC car, I have a Losi XX, its been sat around for a while but with my daughter showing an interest I thought I would dust it off and we could both use it.

I was into RC in the mid to late 80s and have lusted over the gold pan RC10 for years. I could never afford one at the time and had friends that had them.
Hi all, glad to be here. A friend at work recently gave me a few RC cars, one being an RC10 with graphite chassis. It is in pretty rough shape, but i'm gonna try to restore it as the RC10 was my first RC car, and has always held a special place in...
