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

I pulled the trigger on a vintage 1987 Ultima because of its unique place in racing history...I wanted to get under the hood of one. The Kyosho Ultima buggy did a 1,2,3 sweep at the 1987 2wd IFMAR world championships. This car made Team Associated what it is today to some degree. There is a nice wri...

Back in the mid to late 1980's, our local off-road track separated 2wd buggies into three classes; 540 (open to anything that wasn't an RC10, 27 turn, 6 cells), RC10 stock (27t, 6 cells), and RC10 modified (any motor, 7 cells). I wanted something to race in 540 so I bought an Ultima when they were f...

I am actually shaking. Just scored a sassy chassis King Cab for $40. I feel like the luckiest person in the world right now.

That's my buggy in the pic too. I should get one for free lol

You wont regret it. Its sweet! The changes were mostly going to 3mm screws, although the front bulkhead is 4 screws now. I'm thoroughly impressed even though I hate the shocks.

I'm in My entry is the Marui Racing Buggy, aka Hunter prototype (at very least, this is the inspiration, from a single picture) https://i.imgur.com/X7RrfXd.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/hXNwRk6.jpeg Again, this is relying a lot on 3D printed parts : At the very exception of the wheels (orginals from a Ma...

Gonna take you back to an very important car in my rc history. 1989. This was my ultima that was modified as much as my budget for a 16 year old could afford mowing lawns (which I still do to this day for a living). Our local track converted to dirt oval. It was a very loamy heavily watered soil so ...

The file set for Hunter/Galaxy was featured in the "Best designs" category on the home page of cults3D, and this has quite an impact on views, followers and likes...
That's another achievement unlocked!

I always heard wd40 is safe. Just needs a lot of time to soak

I always heard wd40 is safe. Just needs a lot of time to soak So soakage is key..? I did the spray and wipe method with WD, but did not let it soak in for any length of time. I'll give the soak a shot for deeper penetration. I'd give the spray can of Good-Off a go, but I'm still a bit at odds with ...

I visited my mom this evening and took this picture of her backyard in the dark when I left because I grew up there. The digitizing of the pic turned out interesting I thought.

Looks like they are getting ready to pounce!

I'm on something necessary for my Serpent 988e Taipan runner that I will have Frantz (Manobet) do once the prototype is finished.... I already started V2

Can someone tell me what it is?

You really need to read up on our FAQ and parts list to get the full idea of what we did but it uses a stealth diff up front and will have, as with every 4wd, slightly less steering than a 2wd, but the same as a Kyosho optima or similar 4wd of the era. As the maker of this conversion, I can say whol...
