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

Back in the mid 80's, for a birthday, my father bought a Rock Buster from our local hobby shop. I remember him assembling it on my grandmothers kitchen table. Had a ton of fun with it as a kid until a neighbor brought home an RC10, lol.

Now in my...

Well i am putting this in the 'Other Makes' category as it could actually fit into several sections.... mainly RC10, but also has some Traxxas and Losi parts! I have seen reference to a few of these on RC10talk before, but never thought i would ever...

Hi,

Special dedication to DADIO ;)

This is the most terrific chassis i had to polish after anodising removing.

To be ready for polishing, the hard coating anidising was removed in 2 times for some parts, and it was not easy to polish (I remind...

Hi everyone - i also have a royal ripper that I used to enjoy, the 4 wheel drive and steering is cool. I have been thinking about selling this car also and putting the funds into acquiring something new. Is there a market for this car?

Thanks

Picked up this Tenth Tech Predator. It was listed as a DTM. How would I/could anyone identify the model? I know there were a few different on road models. Also, would anyone happen to have a manual electronically? Thanks.

Acquired this would like some more info or paperwork thanks guys.

I would also like to find a body for this, the hack job from previous owner is :cry: luckily the rear wheels/tires are still available from TM RACING 1/12 scale 1.5”x2.75”

First off. Big thanks to Alex, LoboNYC for parting with one of his super cool Paris dish O.S. conversion kits. Always hooking me up!!!

Started of with a good little CZ11, and the donated conversion kit

Trying my part to Save The Pandas .

Rough shape and missing parts.
I haven't pulled the diff apart yet but initially it feels OK.
Tires and wheels pretty well used up, broken bumper.
It came with no servos, MSC or ESC, receiver or...

Back around the mid 90s I had a Kyosho Rowdy Baja. It was the 'Extra' version which means it had dual rear shocks and an adjustable ball diff! Unfortunately it had a quick life in my hands and I never ended up driving it. I wanted to get it running...

An older gentleman wandered into my local racetrack the other day asking about anyone interested in buying an old rc drag car collection. I jumped at the chance, of course, and met him at his house after the race day ended. The man's name was Ben...

Pretty far out of my AE comfort zone.
My wife got this for me to try and resurrect .
Afraid this hobby grade car was rode hard and put up wet.

So I tore it down and cleaned everything as good as possible.
Found 2 cracks in...

This Raco Roadrunner has been sitting in a shed for a good 20 years. It's previous owner obviously didnt have safe storage in mind. It came with almost nearly enough spare parts to build a 2nd Roadrunner ( with the exception of a frame , fuel tank,...

Built with a carbon truck chassis for optimal wheelbase (285mm)
Ball differential and slipperclutch, I even ballraced the driveline and as a little topping, 4 brand new bearings for the front wheels.

Clearing the loft on a dark and dismal day. Discovered the son's old rc stuff. A Beagle and a less than complete Hirobo Zerda.
The Beagle is still running pretty much 'out of the box' after a battery charge.
The bodyshell is the worse for ware, I...

Anyone else had a problem with friction in the rear gearbox. Seems the pinion driving the differential/chain gear is too wide for the gearbox especially when the frames encasing the gearbox are tightened. I've filed a bit off the pinion which has...

Hello all,

I've decided to build my PK Corally NIB kit and thought I would share the process step by step.

Released back in 1986, this was the first 1/12 car from PK Model Racing. The 'P' and 'K' of PK Model Racing represented the family names of...

This is my latest buy. Thunder Tiger Mirage 4WD. Have not worked on it a lot, still trying to find some parts to redo it. did clean it up some.

I just received my lot of Marker Machine RC car parts and chassis's, along with a Dynamic Suspension car. I know about Dynamic suspension cars since I own two prior to this purchase, but I don't know a thing about Marker cars. Would like some...

Picked up this pair yesterday. I have a very limited knowledge of old circle track cars and even though I am pretty familiar with Trackmaster belt drive and direct drive transmissions, I have never even heard of these, let alone seen one of these...

I just received this eBay score this afternoon...of course, the Sees wheels were what immediately caught my attention, even though it appeared that only one side of wheels was included. I wasn't familiar with the chassis, the front end & 3-shock...

Hi,

Here is my Graupner Rally sport restauration project.

It started on November 2014, it's in stand by since january 2015

All srews were changer by some A2 inox ones.

A lot of parts are hand-made polished.

Front upper and lower arms are...

Bought this vintage piece on ebay earlier this spring, havent had much time for it but finally got started. It came with a 7.5cc k&b outboard but didnt run right, so it got sold for new vintage 3.5cc k&b outboard. The engine had to be fitted with a...

Hi, does anyone know if a Thunder Tiger Pro 12 engine will be a direct drop-in replacement for an O.S. cz-2 (or similar .12) in a Kyosho Rampage GP10 or Stinger MKII?

Thanks.

Got this car off a member on here don't know his name, but if he sees this post hope he will chime in. Was told it was a vintage racer from back in the day and when I seen it I just had to have it, being such a rare and cool car!!! I mean come on...

Sold my A&L trailing arm Chassis RC10, and Tamiya Frog to get this car off Facebook.. Had never seen one before and seeing it get bumped, and not sold was making me sad for how cool it is! HAD TO HAVE it once he took my offer! It is in good original...

this is a one off buds pace car. won the body off ebay years ago and mounted it on a new built bolink chassis. does anyone have a pics from any r/c car mags??? was told it was on the cover. here are my pics i have. the pic in the mag is buds race...

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to show you a project started last year.

Not vintage, but not too far as well ;)

A 2008 HOTBODIES 12X Pan-Car chassis

I applyed my touch like on my other chassis; stainless steel A2 screws, anodising removal, polishing...

I was intrigued by this one. I ended up being the only bidder too. I have had Super Alta before, and this is clearly Super Alta, but it's an Academy clone. Plastic feels a bit more brittle but pretty close. Part numbers even start with a SA ....

.

I have been lucky enough to pick up 3 sets of unused Polaris alloys in the last few days, and very nice they are too 8)

I much prefer running alloys than plastic rims, you just can't beat the way they look i don't think.

There are a few styles...

Thanks to fredswain, I picked up this NIB Raborn Invencer XT kit a few months ago. Fred also had Barry Raborn autograph the chassis for me. :D

This truck had been my unicorn for many years, and I honestly thought I would never find a new kit. It...

I saw it from across the shop. When I saw its cantilever suspension and shiny blue parts, I nearly passed out. I'm in love, yes I'm a believer!
My girlfriend sighed as I floated towards the counter in a river of my own drool as I chanted:
TENTH...

Picked up a “vintage white plastic chassis and parts” on eBay and I was surprised that it was in pretty good shape. I quickly disassembled it and gave it a simple Dawn and hot water bath in the ultrasonic cleaner. I didn’t go crazy with it. One...

While scrolling evilpay, I happened to stumble on something I wasn't looking for and that immediately caught my attention: a CO2 engine RC car designed by famous Luigi Colani, a German industrial designer.

Here is a short extract from Wikipedia (...

This is my M2. Got it a few years back. Have not did a lot to it yet, but I have gotten a lot of parts ready to work on it.

Finally! I completed my vid for RYUZ FF Replica.

I took the original video in Apr., but it took 4 months to make a full movie.

It because I wanted a cool one, but this result is reality.

One month for intro, three months break, and...

With help from Gomachv, a project that literally has been on my drawing board for several years now is finally getting done: a reproduction of the Advanced Racing Technology Agitator DTR (Don't Turn Right) narrow super-speedway pan car. :D...

I got this on ebay not too long ago, happened to come across it by chance, bid really big on it and now have it, really well made and have no clue who if a person or a company made it.

Its so well constructed, just beautiful. I wanted to know if...

Howdy yall,

As Rich Trujillo posted some pics of a Pred for a friend :mrgreen: for valuation, I remembered I had one on the top shelf of my (messy) man-shed... So I pulled it out of the 8th scale rim it sits on and I snapped a few pics just for the...

Hi Guys,
One of my buddies mentioned that he had this X10 that he never used. Would you guys be willing to share a market value for this car? Not taking bids but just trying to get a feel for what something like this might get.

It has the original...

I like building cars from spares, some guys will know me for that. Now I started a new 1/12 project for a quite rare car. Parts have been collected through around 4 years, most of them new never used. Just the rear axle blocks are used but got a...

I recently bought this, from my research I think its a 90s era WCM car, it looks like its never been run, Im looking for a body or advice on a period correct style. I think its supposed to have a nascar body but I may just make my own paved modified...

I have been collecting parts to do this for a while now. It has parts off of several RACO vehicles including alloy rear arms, velocity stack, alloy bumper and new wheels and tires. The fron shock mounts were made by Chris at eyecit.net, he still...

I believe there isn't one yet... It's also going to liven rc10talk a bit and take some attention away from scr8p's stupidly desirable replicas :lol:

so let's post our mini-4wd... but only if they are miniaturized versions of our beloved RC Cars !...

I was searching for a brushed esc for use in a B3 runner build and I remembered having a nice Tekin in this car up in the attic somewhere. So, before I start cannibalizing this car for electronics to use in other cars, I spent some time over the...
