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

Outstanding group of cars were entered this year and I feel very honored to have won from this builder/racers group. I'd like to thank all that voted for my car and it truly was an exciting experience right up to the end. If you'd like to see some more pictures of the car and a list of hop-ups I use...

Remember that Billy Joel song "Only the good die young" well couldn't be more true in this case for Jim. Many of us probably have personal remembrances about Jim and we will always have a place for him in our memories. R.I.P.

This is not a small collection and all are truly superb! Would like to see more pictures with body off. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect, a real beauty, may we see it body off?

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 ...

Whereabouts in Northern Illinois are you located? Seems that there are a few of us on 10talk.

Did I miss a rules change that previous winners this year can now re-enter with a new or different car???? Sorry if I missed it but would like a clarification.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade.

These arms are available on eBay and the picture there shows even better finish on the arms maybe just the glare in Jim's photo. Nice quality.

Remarkable restoration, excellent job. The body you got with the car would even look super on the car now but new body and paint is outstanding.

Yep, I think it was an airplane receiver also, here's mine along with it's Kraft brother from another mother.


Looked a little deeper in my Novak box and found this one which is definately airplane.

Another Delta beauty and well restored by V12.

Looks like you have the best of everything you need to finish the car which is in pristine condition. What a sweet find for you!
This is the Mark Pavidis edition of the YZ-10 which was used to win the 1995 world championship at Yatabe Arena in Japan.
