Re: RC10CC classic clear wait list....

Re: So why did the RC10 lose at the IFMAR 1987 again?

A couple thoughts... 1. Joel's Ultima was extremely modified from a stock Ultima. 2. Joel is an exceptional driver (ever notice how a lot World champs of that era were on-road specialists?) But the major reason was in essence, tires. The Kyosho team had a superior tire for the event. This would be l...

Just checked it out now, here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iblVUdIoBA 3iblVUdIoBA If this is true, it is going to be pretty awesome and hopefully first in line of Yoke re-releases. On a side note, anyone happen to know what Japanese magazine that is? :mrgreen: -Mark

Re: GP3D 1989 Worlds Stealth Car Replica

The 131S was replaced by the 131SH in 1986 and was made obsolete in in 1987 with the release of the S148 which is a budget servo with very similar specs.

Occasionally made it to JOROCC and The Thunderdome in Joliet, IL. Remotely Daytonas in Alsip, IL. and Orland Hobbies Raceway in I ...
