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

Last year I would have said my Top CAT, but the buyer saved it for 30-ish years and gave it back with a bonus Storm 2000. My biggest regret has to be when I gave away a CAT 2000 (including a boat load of parts) and a very nice Losi XX back in the early 2000s. I thought I was "done with RC"...

When the wife and I were hopping around from apartment to apartment before buying our house, I got tired of moving all of my RCCA mags. So yeah.... 12-13 complete years of magazines (starting in 1990) went in the dumpster. Then all the vintage r/c started a few years later. I'd love to have that day...

Out of all the cars I've sold I wish I'd kept my Custom Works Dominator.

Not exactly in the post today, maybe 2 - 3 weeks ago but I only took it out of the box today. I bought a Buds Motor Analyzing Dyno to set up a motor station.

At least with my skills anyways

I always have to put oil in, the first thing anyone does when they pick up an RC car is to play with the suspension. On a Losi this means adding oil every few months

Same here. Really the only things of the R/C variety I regret selling are the items that are worth 10 times as much now so I can sell them again.

Sorry guys that was a Ford vs Chevy comment, don't need to take it too seriously lol.

To big to get this in the post, picked up a "free" display cabinet 2.5m wide. It was bloody heavy and didn't fit in the trailer but managed to get it home with some overhang.

I never make it that far before screwing up...

Yesterday did a lot of practice and tuning on my AE B6.4 and Schumacher L1R. Finally getting comfortable again with indoor carpet and getting used to the L1R which is still a new platform for me.

Some schumie nos bit and a few traxxarse bits to Nos topcat wing and bosscat undertray was nice to find also some srm tuffnol spurs. The 2x20 fronts are actually miss labeled and are the 4 row rib schumie fronts off the front of the original cougar that I’ve been hunting for for a very long time IMG...
