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

I just put up a comment in the chats about being able to enter on another month following a win. I must admit last year i won January and immediately regretted entering as i had no zest towards BOTM for the rest of the year. In the meantime i built several cars and then had to pick which one to ente...

Just realised i had forgotten to update this build thread for a while... It turns out Samurai tyres have an inside and an outside tread. All these years and i never knew. The wonky squares go to the outside. The wider rears are the same. I wonder whether there is any grip difference if fitted incorr...

...and here is the car, finally starting to look as i had imagined it complete with a variation on the blobby paint scheme and layered stickers. Bit different to red anyway. New wheels and tyres on, just a second battery strap to source. Always loved the look of these. I do have a brand new ladder c...

These were a common sight at tracks across the UK during my racing days. Race scrutineering tents all had one and if you touched the sides at any point through suspension movement post-race you were disqualified and your time was scratched. Incidentally they also had a length requirement to strictly...

This is a good question and it does depend on a few factors really. What kind of a condition are your motors in and how have they been stored previously? Will you be getting them rebuilt and the magnets addressed prior to storage and will you be potentially using them in the future? I guess what I a...

I am not too sure which section this should go into, so i am putting it here. It is kind of a wanted ad, i suppose. A while ago now I was gifted a lone alloy wheel by an RC community member who knows i am into unusual alloy rims. It took me a while to actually work out what it was, but after much di...

HAHA i got all excited then when i saw a reply to my post....

This is the car you mentioned from that article. I left this pic out of my post as it was a bit dark, but you might enjoy seeing it based upon your comments.

I was certain I had already posted this up on here, but i cannot for the life of me find any sign of a post so here it is again just in case. The Meteor was more of a British thing but a manufacturer called Mardave. These were very popular cars as they offered a very very low-cost avenue into relati...

Had a bit of a renewed interest in getting this old girl back together and up and running after having uncovered the footage of me racing her at the Oswestry Radio Race Car round in 1991. Mainly just down to cleaning up the bulkheads and motor mount really, as they had tarnished a little over the ye...

Hi Francis, just throwing mine up for comparison... although it looks to be identical apart from mine having a slightly larger plate. 1981 dated Demon 2C 'ISS B', which is in surprisingly good condition. I also have an 'ISS C' dated 1982 which differs only by having a full width upper plate - not su...

Just realised i haven't got a gallery up and running, so thought i would throw up a few builds. First up, seeing as this is RC10talk, is my gold pan-based 4wd MMS 'Concept Car.' 129370609_10160510919086258_5866168095160039653_n.jpg 148738806_10160744280171258_2233615662262638024_n.jpg 148693313_1016...

Just realised that I haven't updated this thread in a while... the car has had a couple of additions since I ran it in torrential rain at the Revival.... The first thing I did immediately after that weekend was track down and fit an undertray to protect the electrics from the typical UK summer weath...

What the what what what?! That's what I thought too.... I have never seen or even heard of these before, but now that i have seen these pictures I can see how they might work. I bought them yesterday so hopefully they will be landing through the post soon so that I can try them out. I am presuming t...

Thank you - i have just sent him a PM. Another pair would be lovely
