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

Thanks again for the replies. Indeed helping to get a list of back-up parts ahead of time. Regarding Lipo batteries, which I have zero experience with. What kind of pointers or tips would be good for a total newbie as myself? I've read many horror stories (for a lack of better term) about Lipo batte...

Thanks for the replies thus far. Please keep 'em coming. I'm very unfamiliar with online rc stores/sites. What are some good trusted online stores ya'll suggest for searching & purchasing this stuff, parts (AE and/or aftermarket), accessories, etc? I'm currently making a list and would like to s...

Hello all, Recently new to rc again and looking for advice and suggestions. I have a new-in-box RC10T4.3 rtr stadium truck that came with the Lipo battery/charger combo. The truck will be mainly used for backyard bashing. Wondering what are some ideal accessories/upgrades to help make the truck a li...

Our lab mix Harlow, had her for 3 yrs now. She was an abused rescue dog from a local shelter, just days from being laid down. When we showed up the shelter worker told me to stay back and tread lightly because she was very aggressive towards men. But she showed none, instead she wanted my attention ...

Just recently back into rc, have rc10t4.3. Relearning the ropes of rc after a 20+ year hiatus, so open to advice about everything.

Checked out Walt's hobby shop website. I'll be making a stop there next time I head over that way. Thanks for bringing it up.

Very cool collection you have. The Reedy ultra sonic pic brings back memories. A friend who was an AE fanatic had some ultra sonic motors in his assortment back in the '90s. I'm just now getting back into the hobby after a 23 yr hiatus. Vintage collections of all sorts are interesting. Great thread ...

I had a FXT back around '95, have no memory whatever happened to it but really wish it was still around. After being out of the r/c game for 23 yrs, just got a new RC10T4.3. Now searching and hoping to come across another FXT for sale just for old time sake. Also would be really cool to have somethi...

If I remember correctly, the 1410 3800kv is physically a bigger motor. It would be the equivalent to a 550 sized motor. These were designed for heavier vehicles (short course), generating more torque to get the truck off the line. You could probably gear the 3800 higher and still have the motor run...

Thanks all for the warm welcomes. As mentioned above to a01butal, I ended up finding a new RC10T4.3 RTR over the weekend at a kind of locate hobby shop (65 minute drive). I have yet to take it out of the box (very busy), but hopefully get some time to bash around the backyard with it this coming wee...

I've swung out to the lake a few times in the past to check out those boat races. And hot damn those things are ...

I know Mendota been there a few times also use to race karts at Utica back in the 1980"s. Welcome to RC10talk. Very cool. That course in Utica shut down quite a few years ago (early 2000's maybe). Assuming you're talking about the track that was at the intersection of Rt.6 & Rt.178, right ...

Hello all, I'm JJ and from north central IL. I'm 36 and haven't had a R/C since the mid '90s, but have been wanting to get back into it lately. First got into R/C in the late '80s/early '90s, I remember having a Tyco Fast Traxx around '90. My last R/C's were a Futaba FXT stadium truck and RC10T2 som...
