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

Hi RC people. Got back into RC this past year after about 40 years as my kids are about the age I was when I convinced my parents to buy me a used Hornet, which was my pride and joy.

This past year I got Grasshopper->Hornet->Frog->TT02-BR->XV-01....

Thank you for adding me. I looking forward to participating. Been in the hobby for over 30 years with the occasional break from live and ex wives etc lol. I am a Tamiya collector but have always wanted to build an RC10. Recently I was able to pick...

Hello Everybody. I've been into R/C since I was a kid (80s), but never really got into hobby grade vehicles until the early 90s. I took a long break for about 10 years, got back into it, then took another long break until now.

Just picked up a gold...

Long time lurker here; finally joined. Like so many others, I'm getting back into RC after leaving the hobby in the 90's. I found some Tamiya rere kits for cheap around Xmas and picked-up a couple of Grasshopper II's for our two boys. A cheap...

Im so glad i found this forum. Have two original B1’s and dad, brother and me are all RC 10 nuts.
Started with Bolink speedway cars, then some screamer 10L’s too.
Currently restoring my favorite car of all time. The 1993 RC10!

Hello all,

Got back into RCing a couple months ago. Had the B4.2 and a T4.1 (that I converted into a T4 from a SC10 chassis). Sold all of that years ago and am now just getting back in. For nostalgia purposes I decided to get another B4.

I...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and have been out of RC for a long while and want to get back into it just for street and skate park running. I've got my A stamp RC10 and 5 RC10T's, 3 early and 2 later trucks. I'll be upgrading to lipo's and will use...

Just wanted to drop in and say Hi, it’s been awhile since I’ve visited. See you all around as I poke through the forums. Thanks for having me.

Hi folks, just thought I would introduce myself.
Been racing since the late 1980's and finally getting my back catalogue back together of my favourite cars.
Just picked up this B3 and B4. I used to race a B3 back in the day at the regional's and...

Hi everyone,

Now that my kids are old enough, I pulled out my old RC10 from the late 1980's for some fun. I was surprised and pleased to find that there are so many fans of the car still out there!

After a little tinkering and a new battery,...

Great to be here. Name's Roy, I'm an old fuddy-duddy basher, now turned into a Vintage (and a few present) RC collector/restorer.

Been out the scene for many, many yrs since I was stationed in S.Korea back in the 90's I restore old motorcycles as...

Hey guys,

I used to race as a teenager back in the day in El Paso, Texas. My first car was a Tamiya Superchamp, then I got an RC10 right when it came out. My dad lived in SoCal in the 80s, so when I would visit he would take me to all the OG tracks...

Hello,

I have a collection of Tycos and Nikkos. I have accounts on most major RC sites but no one seems to care about Tycos and Nikkos.
I collect only Tyco and Nikko cars because they were fast and interesting grade of RC model which I had when a...

Hi everyone. Like many kids growing up in the 80s, I dreamed of owning the ultimate race buggy, an RC10. I've messed around with modern RC cars with my kids, but they don't have the same feel of the vintage cars.

By chance, I met a guy with an...

I'm a new member here and looking forward to be part of the community.
I started with a Tamiya Falcon in the mid-late 1980's and have been in and out of the hobby ever since. I still have a 6-gear, gold pan RC10 with a truck conversion that I never...

Hi guys,
Despite the taboo nature of cam sites, there is a strong sense of community and acceptance among its users.

Well I accidentally rediscovered RC10 after almost 40 years. I was never lucky enough to get one back when then but man did I beg!

So I bought this beautifully never run chassis w a Edinger box that I'm going to build and display. I've gotten the...

Hello Everyone

I'm new here, glad to be part. Looking to learn all.
Thanks!

What is your comment about this car?

Hi everyone. I found this looking around for info on the RC10CC mainly. I saw a press release and thought it would be a neat shelf piece so I'm on the preorder list for it. I've got an old Reedy Competition Stock motor and a NER-3FM receiver I found...

Hi all. Glad to have found this site, I have a few vintage RC's that I dug out recently, and I need 30 meaningful posts in order to request an extremely hard to find part, or to get in to the B/S/T.

Hello, I dug out an old RC10 T3 that I had a really long time ago.

Hi all. Names Helmar

Well, I am a old guy that just keeps messing around with RC stuff.

In fact, the RC-10 is so old it still had the mechanical wiper speed control on it.

Controllers were lost in...

Finally decided to make an account, longtime lurker. R/C has been apart of me since 1983. Catchya around the forum.
Thanks Jeff

Hi. Thought it was about time to subscribe after way too long lurking.

My neighbor called the other day asking if I wanted some old RC cars..I took them for my grandson. Most were just parts and transmitters, but in the box was a complete car. Not knowing anything about RC I did some searching. Turned out to be an RC10...

Hi fellow RC lovers.

My formative years were spent building and racing RC cars. My first hobby grade car was a Tamiya Hornet which I bought essentially the day it came to the local hobby shop in early 1985 or so. I had my eye on a Grasshopper and...

Hey everyone! I've been into RC cars my whole life. I used to hit up the coolest hobby shops with my dad in the 80's, and have fond memories of watching indoor carpet oval racing. I thought those cars were the coolest things in the world back then....

I've actually been on here on and off for a few years but never actually posted anything - epic fail.

So, Hi!

I've been into RC cars since I was a kid and grew up mainly with Tamiya kits - Fire Dragon, Bullhead, Vanquish, Avante, Terra Scorcher...
