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

Hi All, New to the forum, stumbled across it when I was looking for parts for my old RC car, I have a Losi XX, its been sat around for a while but with my daughter showing an interest I thought I would dust it off and we could both use it. This was great until we had a little crash and broke the bel...

I've kept all my rc stuff in the basement for years. my parents basement was damp and dark. My basement is cool and dark. I have kept stuff out in the open, like on a rack, and in cardboard boxes and plastic bags. I don't seem to see any problems over the years, except some steel hardware rusted a b...

Hi guys, recently I've purchased a pair of Peak brushed motors but I don't know anything about them. I've seen there were Peak Performace, Peak Racing and then Peak in the good old days is it the same brand?

Not an upgrade, but I think that parts availability is the most important thing for bashing. You will break stuff, no way around it.

I currently have 23 cars ( and three more projects), I bash with two of them. Both are 2WD Stampedes.

Parts are available everywhere. Even Autozone has a few.

I'm always trying to find the best way to display my vintage beauty queens, and store my working projects. I have looked at options from IKEA, Shoe Stores, Museums (lol), and still looking. Please share your display and storage systems for RC buggies. Please share your systems (with images). It will...

General non specific.

#1 - Shocks
#2 - Tires
#3 - Everything else

Electronics make a huge difference though so they should be important on the upgrade list.

Not the category in your list, but best upgrade for a shelfer is alloy screws, titanium turnbuckles etc and any other parts that replace steel. Means no surface rust whilst it sits there. For me, I race (a bit) and a good high end radio is a must. Followed by high quality, comfortable, good quality ...

My real answer would be ball bearings. My Tamiya Thundershot was such a big ticket item that the bearings were out of reach for my Christmas budget circa 1990. I could never hang with the Yokes, for many reasons beyond bearings (mostly my driving :oops: ), but the plastic bushings were the death of ...

Most of the time with enough wheel time the parts that need upgraded become obvious. For instance my wife's slash had a problem of breaking steering bellcranks when she would hit the wall very frequently. So a titanium gear servo, and alloy bellcranks was an upgrade that was able to resolve the iss...

Going from old school 27meg to 2.4 big with expo , epa and multi memory , best upgrade ever

Had a bit of a lull in this project. Lots going on for one thing, then I spent the last month really sick with the rona, and also taking care of my 77 yr old Mom who also has it and spent 10 days in the hospital. Trying to care for her right now is a very time consuming thing. But I'm feeling better...

I never buy directly from them, because of shipping rates. I mostly buy from Amain.

A very Merry Christmas to you all. I hope you all get some nice RC goodies under your trees.
