You're welcome.

On that page are photobooks on:
1) an original hand-machined RC10
2) two Stealth RC10s in one book and
3) the RC300 and RC500 combined in one book.

Those are awesome, I look forward to the commentary. To have pictures of that vintage in good quality is so rare. Most pictures of vintage stuff is pretty poor quality, so these pictures are great to have. Be sure to make plenty of back ups!

I think its awesome to see how far technology has come. Ive been in the hobby for about 19 or so years, and when you change with the times its easy to forget how things were, even just a couple years ago!

That steering setup is a vintage work of art!
Whatever does the job... I've cobbled a few steering parts myself. :wink:
But, the simplicity is what made the car what it is.
Where would I find those orange electronics?
I've never even seen them... and I'm old.
JRX2 in the late 80s... have since come to my senses with the RC10T, yes of course it's vintage! Wife is always destroying her Tamiaya LunchBox to call me her personal mechanic a few more times. Enjoying the fresh build of an RJ Speed Digger.

That is an awesome example of an RC10. Those are some great pictures you took, they show every detail of the car.
