Hello from France.

Post by Charles »

Hi all.

I'm Charles from France. Glad to finally register here.
I started rc a long time ago, I think around 1990. I had connections in the USA so I got my hands on a rc10.

Discovered rc was small where I lived but there was tracks and clubs. Mainly 1/8th nitro tho.
The rc car action about the 91 ifmar was big for me, the 91 stealth car etc ..etc ..

Then I stopped rc for a long time and came back to it around 2005/6 or something, just on time to realize the associated b4 was looking pretty similar to the 91 stealth car. Got hands on a b4, restarted it all.

I still have an old rc10 with the rpm front end, I'd like to get it cleaned and up and running again.
I tried 1/10th off road 2wd , 4wd. 1/8 th off road brushless. 1/12. 1/10 on road.
These days I mainly happily run 1/10 pro10 235mm as it suits my local track.

My project is to build or buy a fully built stealth 91 replica and get this old rc10 rpm in shape.
Thanks and have good day.

Nice! That will be an easy one to restore. It appears to just need a cleaning as everything is there.

Most folks are gold pan fanatics, but I always loved the black chassis. :) I had an RC10T with RPM arms, very similar to your buggy.

Hello !

These are absolutely Schumacher shocks.
I remember the bosscat being very popular here on indoor tracks. Nice one on your pic.
I picked these on a cougar, I don't think I ever changed the springs or oil back then. In the cleaning process I will dismantle them. I think I'll get the rc10 shocks that fit.
