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

I know Mendota been there a few times also use to race karts at Utica back in the 1980"s. Welcome to RC10talk. Very cool. That course in Utica shut down quite a few years ago (early 2000's maybe). Assuming you're talking about the track that was at the intersection of Rt.6 & Rt.178, right ...

I recently picked one up too, it's so much nicer than the FX10 I had as a kid growing up! That's a sweet example you have there therigliveson. Very nice. The FXT I bought showed up at my doorstep last week hours before leaving on vacation. Got to take a quick gander at it real quick before hitting ...

holy moses, that makes my stomach turn. I motion to remove that pic. Please and thank you... lol

Hi, how are you getting on with the 1080, I’m considering them for my brushed buggies but I was a little put off by the crawler specs? If they can be reprogrammed with the included programmer to be suitable for ST/buggies I’ll give one a go. Well it's still in the box. I actually won't use it until...

I never previously had any of the vintage Kyosho Le Mans motors, but I just did purchase another Futaba FXT stadium truck with a 480 Gold motor. So very glad about that.

seems very likely.
If there's a perfect example of a RC buggy body where everything went wrong in every way, that's it.

Thanks Derek. Alright took your advice, very thankfully might I add, and did some ebay recon over the weekend. Scored a couple dozen stand up serrated brushes with eyelets, a variety of light/medium/heavy/extra heavy springs, fine/medium/course commutator sticks, and the icing on the cake, 4 Kyosho ...

I have this one arriving this week. Hopefully it's decent. I've never had a good one so my nipples are wearing thru my t-shirts on a daily basis. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RVMZNYR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_BQleGbASTHNQD A fella on RCTech recommended that Yihua 939D+. Around Christmas time I was co...

Was just searching the webz for a Topcat. Even though I picked up a rere XLS right before they discontinued, kinda wish I also would've got a Topcat too. The old Schumacher's are just hands down cool as beans. I also had to google Energy. Whenever I hear of a town in the ol' land of Lincoln that's n...

The results get me little more excited to put the 480 Gold in one of the FXT's. The other one is getting a Speed Gems Ruby 16x3 because that's what I had in my old one in the '90s. Waiting on a response from RCScrewz at the moment because I sent them the info needed to create screw and bearing kits.

Picked up 240S yesterday during halftime.

This is hilarious because that's how/why I spontaneously purchased the 240S at halftime. Had consumed a mixture of different bottles and brews throughout the day. Good note, I yet to regret it

I'm soon going to be attempting stripping a couple old bodies myself. Unfortunately the bodies I'm working on cannot be replaced, so I bought a bunch of lexan sheets and am in the middle of building a vacuum table to recreate the body myself. Anyhow, homeboy at the local hobby shop told me the only ...

Like real cars, working on and modifying them is half the fun. I wouldn't be interested in the hobby if someone else did all the work and I only held the transmitter.

Digital infrared tach showed up yesterday. Motors and misc. parts I've been collecting over the past couple months. Have a few more motors on the way.
