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

I'd like to start a thread showing the rusty, dusty, broken and incomplete side of our collections. I'm sure most of you, like myself, don't just own shelf queens and well maintained regular runners. I want to see that pile of corroded and ugly crap that you can't let go of because you're going to g...

I seem to remember there was a few of these, starting back in the 80's when I was in elementary school. They used to have that book order pamphlet they passed out to the students to buy these types of books for a couple bucks. If any of you guys have some of the other ones, post them up.

I was thinking it was earlier myself but it has 1990 on the inside. One of the featured trucks is a traxxas sledgehammer which didn't come out until '89 or '90. I'm pretty sure I got mine at a school bookfair as well. Found this one at a garage sale and couldn't resist.

Some of these pics are great.

Anyone else remember this? I had this when it came out. Hard to believe it was 27 years ago.

This is my junkyard dog lovingly referred to as "Cereal Killer". I bash the hell out of this thing and love every second without worrying about scratching this or bending that. It's not a project. It's gonna stay pretty much how it is. AB-stamp pan, stealth trans, assorted mixture of AE pa...

My "CE". Also a regular runner. Have changed a bunch of parts to black pieces over time. Use this car to test brushed and brushless motor combo's. Jammin Jay rear tires and Parma wing.
