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

Warmed up a little today, so good time to paint a body. I HATE trimming / painting poly/lexan bodies, so I don't put too much effort into it. I am a "looks good from three foot away" kind of guy, so I don't get too bothered by leaking paint and runs and such. This pic actually shows the wo...

Looks great. That body does give it a unique look for an Optima. Hope it's a bloody rippah!

Today marks the 15th anniversary of RC10Talk. https://i.imgur.com/BNmrw.gif I just wanted to thank everyone for their continued support and contributions in preserving this wonderful hobby that is R/C. More specifically the "vintage" side of it. Some changes will be taking place sometime ...

Well, after a week outside in the wind rain and snow..... ok, maybe not the snow part....... but a pretty good lightning and thunder storm instead, the most yellowed of the rims finally turned white

In general, white arm trucks are less common. Since the GT came later, it reasons that there were even less of them. I also think that the white arms just weren't as strong as the newer versions, likely leading them to be replaced. Its not like the white arms were anything special back then, the new...

As stated, real white arm trucks are not as common. The arms were the first things to be switched to the black nylon very soon after the release of the GT. Then the other parts slowly became black as well. Then the arms switched to the T2 style which yours are. I don’t know the exact timelines but y...

I believe that the GT was produced when the white parts supply were transitioning to black parts. As my purchases of three GTs all were different and all close in production date. I purchased my first GT in early 94 for pullstart engine. The first batch of GT's were sold out and i had to wait for th...

Picked up 240S yesterday during halftime.

I’m thinking about putting it up for sale.. Cool, but not my thing.

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

Just stumbled across this thread, figured I'd update it after 14 years. I own this car now, lucked into buying it a number of years ago. It lost a few decals over the years, I added a couple new ones of my own. Has some minor oxidation on the battery braids and solder. Other than that, she's still i...
