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

Hi All, I'm a Brit but I'm now living in Middle Georgia and having had a few Tamiya RC kits in my youth I recently decided to get back into the RC car scene for something to do. In the 80s I used to have a Grasshopper, Hornet and Fox (2wd was more hardcore in those days LOL!) but I always looked on ...

Long term storage is the name of all my R/C projects. :? :lol: But really though... I store everything in an obsessive manner. Nothing just gets thrown in a box. Everything is strategically placed as to not cause any damage. Unless it's a NIP flat part. I don't even stack things on top of each other...

I just joined the RC10Talk Facebook group , never really used the book of many faces before other than to look at some photo's that are not posted elsewhere by a member of a WW2 Airsoft forum , I'm so ignorant of how it works my wife had to point out to me that people had wished me happy birthday as...

A lot of tire preservation discussion here. I've been thinking about the 303 stuff mentioned but haven't tried it yet.

What is more interesting?

I can relate to your question. I definitely aquire faster than I complete. I also find that the speed of my acquisition, and the need to do multiple projects, can causes clutter in my workspace. Said clutter then makes it harder for me to focus on projects so I end up surfing ebay to pass the time a...

I'm sure the long time collectors (hoarders) remember the $30 -$50 RC10 days with readily available parts Times have certainly changed.

I've been collecting parts and multiple projects faster than I can complete, but done purposely so there's future projects awaiting on the shelf, knowing I won't get to them for them for some time. It's caused clutter multiple times taking up all work space on an 8' long work bench, due to lack of o...

As some of you guys know, I've been dealing with Covid the last few weeks. Just came home from the hosptial the other day, but still on oxygen. Got a bit of an uphill battle but I think I'll be Ok. I was feeling a little better today so i thought we could try and salvage the November contest. So let...

Agreed the brushed motor route isn't a good one to take, mod motors only used to run 5 - 6 minutes back in the day before dumping, lipos run forever, lol. Go brushless if you can but keep it sane, say 7.5T - 10.5T, and stick to 2 cell lipo. The gearbox is pretty robust and can handle just about anyt...

I am calling this a simple build because honestly, the foundation was so nice, the build was super simple. The parts list to finish this build is just so small. The foundation. Obviously used, one owner RC12i: RC12I 1.jpg RC12I 2.jpg A little breakdown and the clean bones start to come out: RC12I 3....

what you end up with when you sell stuff...a little extra $ that you spend on something else so its not there long, a little extra room that you will put something else in anyway, full on regret when you change your mind...yeah, pry wrong place for advice on this forum. :P Todd p.s. no more talking ...

Im about to pick this up for my RC10T, does it work fine after you reset everything in radio? Going to use a 14T mod motor. What were you using it in?

This is what I have tried done...to help reduce my collection. What are the ten 2WD, 4WD, and miscellanious that are very "precious" to me? This would be about a maximum collection of around 30 I might put in a case/display/shelving system. I'm a vintage shelf queen collector for the first...

I don't generally sell my junk, any of it. I figure that I bought it for a reason. Even though I may lose interest from time to time, I figure that it will return. That would be the opposite of how to reduce the size of a collection. :D I guess it's good that I have a big house and decent sized pro...
