Re: ** 2024 Vintage Showdown - "The Track" - Gaithersburg, MD - April 13th **

Dang, I don't think I am going to be able to make this one - though I would love to go! Anyone else planning to make it? By The Way - for the sealed-can (brushed) classes it sounds like a bring-your-own motor? - No Handout? - And no designated 'turns' ?? - So could you bring a 12-turn sealed can mot...

Re: ** 2024 Tamiya Vintage World Classic - Thunder Alley R/C, Lucama NC - January 12-14 **

Howdy! Yes I am planning to make it to NC in a couple weeks! Yeah, I wrecked on one of those stand-up electric scooters - was going about 30mph and slammed down hard... - Severe injuries to left shoulder (shattered humeral head) and left knee (Broken tibial plateau and fibula). - It has been a long ...

Re: How many years have you been into RC?

I got a Tamiya Frog for Christmas when it was the newest thing, so 1983.
But I had many toy-grade R/Cs before that (I was born in 1973).

I got into racing around 1986, then did not pay much attention to R/C from roughly 1991 to 2001.

Re: What was your first RC experience?

I had multiple toy-grade R/Cs, I would ask for one every Christmas. - The only one I really remember was the "Dust Runner", a model of the Honda ATC250R three-wheeler with cool rubber tires and Hi/Lo transmission. Well one year one of my older brothers (who dabbled in R/C airplanes) convin...

Re: ** 2024 Tamiya Vintage World Classic - Thunder Alley R/C, Lucama NC - January 12-14 **

Well, recovery from my injuries seems to be taking forever... but I am at least able to walk short distances with a crutch, I still can't use my left arm much but rehab for that should finally start next week. So I am optimistic I will be functional by January - I'll just have to bribe my wife to co...

Re: Masami Hirosaka´s 2023 radio

The wing on that RC10 is mounted really far forward?
I wonder how that affects handling?

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread

Thanks for the info above!

Follow-up:
I am digging through boxes to rebuild some Stealth transmissions - I have one #6628 RC10 Diff Spring.
- Is this one different from the other two (6582 and 6587)??

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread

Are the ASC 6582 Diff Thrust Spring and ASC 6587 Torque Control Spring different from each other?
- Or is it just that 6587 comes with the slipper locknut?

I saw a flyer somewhere on Facebook (can't find it now), that said we are going to run on outdoor track this year?!?
- What does that mean for tires?
- Knobbies?? :twisted:

Re: So, what did you do RC today?

I have had a few DF-03 chassis for years and never run any of them - until this weekend. Two of the chassis are basically stock rollers - the third one has a few upgrades including: - Tamiya aluminum Hop Up shocks - incredibly smooth, very nice shocks. - Front one-way diff. - Various blue aluminum p...
