First track (and club) for me would have been Lemont Dirtburners in Lemont, IL. Raced there every weekend I could convince my parents to take me, starting in Spring '87. Occasionally made it to JOROCC and The Thunderdome in Joliet, IL. Remotely Daytonas in Alsip, IL. and Orland Hobbies Raceway in I ...

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. THE 131sh had a long life even being re-badged as the 9401. The 131S and the 131SH are identical on the exterior, well except for the sticker. :w...

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...

"Sold Out" in <= two hours from their email... Screenshot 2023-11-30 at 12-30-23 Shopping Cart Associated Electrics.png I am curious just how many were in the "first batch"... Both A-Main and Tower Hobbies pre-orders are $319.99, fleecing folk for an extra $80 I *hope* is a mista...

? I haven't used tower since they were sold. What's the problem? their new system is quite broken, they cannot add, change, modify, adjust etc ANY order for ANY reason. I had a payment method that expired while waiting for a preorder and they were unable to update it, the system wont allow it. Yeah...

Maybe the February BOTM could be JUST for RC10CC's :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'd say February is a bit optimistic for most of us who tend to order more than they can build... Might just be me projecting though :oops: PS: Screenshot 2023-11-30 at 13-45-23 (27) RC10Talk - The Net's Larges...

Agreed, I think it is more the fact that A-Main, Tower Hobbies and a bunch of online shops have pre-orders for $319...

Not in person, YouTube like you mentioned. Something I found interesting was the "tire debacle". I guess they issued a set amount of tires per racer for the entire event, across classes (4wd and 2wd), There was some heartburn over mounted tires brought vs. later sanctioned tires issued......

Someone (not sure if they are member here or not) posted an unboxing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw3Kwiru5pc Initial thoughts: Pros: Stamped "AE" logo on front nose plate like original 8) Ball cups actually look like a nice shade of white, not radioactive green :lol: Cons: One b...

Even crazier is people are buying them... Screenshot 2023-12-06 at 11-24-08 RC10 Classic Clear in Radio Control &amp; Control Line for sale eBay.png What is a bit disheartening is to see hobby shops contributing to the price gouging... You mean like the manufacturer itself not honoring their $3...

Merry Christmas folks, hoping everyone and their families have a great day and holiday
