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.
Back in the hobby after a 30 year hiatus. Started toying around with a DR10 build a couple months ago and remembered how addictive it can be. Now I just picked up an old gold pan RC10 I'm looking to do a bit of a refurb to.

Welcome! You’ll have 3 vehicles you are restoring before you know it! :lol:
Yep... it kind of sneaks up on you before you realize you have several boxes of different parts for different builds that may or may not be the next one haha.
Hi ALL,
I’ve always been tinkering with RC cars , never raced though .
I’ve had a few IC cars over the years but never really grew up .
A mate at work has recently got me back in to electric , little bit different now with Lipo !
I bought an FTX...
Hi all,
I started racing in ~89. At the time I was living in Albuquerque, NM and wanted to explore the sport. Found a local track, Fast Track, if I remember correctly and they sold me on a Traxxas Bullet RTR as it was recently a winner in a recent...

Greetings from Big Sky Country. I'm Kurt. A military retiree who's getting back into R/C, partially to relive nostalgia... partially to get my 10-year-old Son into it. My first Serious car was a Traxxas TRX-10 Bullet, and to list my subsequent cars...

Thanks Brian! Wow....I see some TOJ bodies from Dan in my future!
I live in Colorado Springs and have been adapting from racing to bashing.
I have everything from Tamiya, Associated, Traxxas, Tekno Rc, Losi, Axial and China.
Been in and out of the hobby for many years.
If you need any help or assistance hit me up.
Long time lurker, recent RC10 collector it seems. I've been into RC since a very young age (30 years now) and have recently acquired a few RC10s. I've had many other Associated vehicles (TC3, NTC3, SC10, SC10GT, RC10GT, RC10GT2, T3, T4.2, T5M,...

Welcome..that’s a great collection of vehicles! I am a fellow Illinoisan down in Decatur.

I have literally never heard of Energy, Illinois. Sounds like a town name that would be used in a movie.

Greetings! Classic list of cars u mentioned, that rc10 looks like a great project car. Make sure to keep us updated in the rc10 buggy thread section and vote in the Build Of The Month contests each and every month, starting now.
I've been farting around with RC's since the early 90's with my first dive into the hobby with the Tamiya Bear Hawk. I later would graduate to a Losi Jr T, and eventually picked up an Ofna Nitro Truggy and Bolink...
Wow, when was the last time I was here? Been awhile. Went big car racing so the vintage collection went bye bye. Still have a small bit of RC10s laying around. Army moved us to Fort Leonard Wood, MO back in April 2017. Lost a son a couple years...

I think RCs can be a form of therapy and stress relief. My father got me into the hobby before he passed when I was 11, and it's been my thing ever since.
I have been reminiscing about my XXT when i was 13 for long enough and decided to go searching for it. Well, i couldn't find one locally and came across a decent T2 Sport and original box that i...

Hi, new member here. I have always been into rc since a little kid. At about 13 or so I traded for a Radio Shack Golden Arrow and drove the wheels off it. It made it with me through moving across country and came out every so often for a drive. In...

My accountant said I should probably leave already ;)
I think I spent more on the new parts than I did on the original car.
Hi to all,
Just joint to see if I can get a hand in reviving my old RC10GT. Last it run (over 10 years ago) a tiny rock loged itself in the gears and broke the engine rod. It was in a box for a long time. Now I have the truck, but misplaced the...
Hi everyone, boy I've been on a long R/C break as life and work happened and slowly took over. I think the last time i was fairly active here was before the B5/B5m came out (everything is mid-motor now???). After a wild and still ongoing covid year...
Hey guys! I haven't been on here in a while...since April 2019 apparently. :shock:

I have 2 complete RC10GT's with the upgraded chassis, 1 complete RC10, and 1 mostly completed but missing the front suspension, a few shells, and lots of tires (I can't remember where I got them all at).

Nice stable you have there, how'd the 10T paint job turn out?
It turned out decent. The lines on the JConcepts reproduction body are far from straight or even, not that the original was great. The color change paint doesn't show well in pictures...

Modern stick packs will not fit transverse in a RC10 chassis. In this picture, it doesn't even fit without the mounting cups.

Welcome aboard bismuth. After seeing Schumacher re-released the CAT XLS, it's on my wanted list. Certainly an awesome R/C.

Thanks for the welcome mate.
Hope I can learn things about my vintage AYK and spares I have . I also have some old motors that I know little about, so info on them would be good too.
I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I found this board looking up info for a Kyosho Outrage that I had just won on ebay for $15. And I have to say I cannot believe it took me this long to find this place!
