OMG The MEMORIES!
When I first was looking at getting RC, I wanted a Hawk, (This was Pre RC10T)
Then when the 10T came out, I wanted an AE, but I have always had a special place in my heart for the TRX-1 and early Traxxas vehicles.
Here's a Futaba ad from a Japanese magazine from 1982. Who's that young guy? Masami Hirosaka :o Masami's first IFMAR Worlds didn't happen until 1986 (1/12th on-road worlds in Las Vegas), but he began competing in Japan at a very young age. Recognize...
Oh yes, the Losi Double-X and XT of racing’s hottest driver, Brian Kinwald. Back in 1996, the Double-X and XT were setting the world on fire, and were the first real leap in buggy tech since the...

I remember I had both if those back in the day. Wish I would have kept them, but I was on a budget and had to sell current cars when I wanted something new.
I have acquired both a nip bobcat and a nip cheetah and started a thread on them here:
Pretty cool cars considering the 1981 dates on the paperwork. If you have pics to add from yours, we would love to see them! I also have learned that Bolink had...
I posted parts of this in another topic, but i was asked to provide the article in full, so here it is :)

Racing a Tamiya Manta Ray :lol: I think that shows how talented the guy must have been! :shock:
To be fair his Manta Ray's were the TRF of their day and eventually you could buy something close as the Top Force - RW did a chassis conversion for the...
I posted some pics of my truck in the other makes/models section.
Fredswain, this may be a long shot, buy I was wondering if you would recognize my truck. The guy I got from said he got it from a guy who used to race in Houston bitd. I also got...

Looks like I will be taking the 6 gear apart for deburring session.
I'm not sure where the writer got that method! I used unmatched Sanyo 1200mah sticks that were charged at 4 amps until hot. Prior to the race I went to the AE factory on Edinger Ave and weighed a bunch of 3 cell sticks on a digital scale to find the...

High guys. I have a boat load of old RC mags, so I thought I'd share some RC10 related articles.
Here's an article about all the different RC10 transmissions. This was written before the release of the first Stealth tranny.

Dragging up the past! :lol:
Here's my contribution:
I didn't have much of a chance to run it BITD. I think I raced it a whole 3 times before my local track folded and it went up in my closet. I'm getting her back in running shape just so I can...

I'm looking for pictures of the review of the Traxxas Nitro Hawk from R/C Car action. I believe it was from 1993 or right around it and it made the the cover of the magazine. I've contacted the magazine and they keep issues from that long ago, but...

They were around 140 shipped and wife didn't let me hear the end of it. :lol:
You did it all wrong. By the time I get done using tact, diplomacy and compromise with my wife she's just about ordering them for me!
i do the same with my wife :lol:
I decided to scan some hobby shop ads from RCCA and found out that maybe Sheldon's Hobbies and Stormer Racing ads would be the best and most informational for us. I did scan those ads from every January and July magazines starting from January 1990,...
Awesome, I'm waiting on a rc10r5 and an oval. Planning on organising a top speed event at a bike velodrome in Australia. It's a tight high bank track so not expecting too much. Back in the day I raced at coburg velodrome( Melbourne) the highest...
