Great question. Redcats TR10 RTR stadium truck is $108 shipped. Tamiyas Grasshopper and derivatives are $103 and up shipped. DT-02's are a good value. The new FMS 1/10 RTR Monster truck at $168 shipped is a good deal too. Then there's the WL Toys Match 4wd RTR buggy, which at $140 shipped, is a ton ...

Excellent story. Hope you got a decent price for the Egress, considering it had vintage race pedigree and all.

F Main, pretty ironic


That's cool you got a trophy and memories of the event, bit of a shame you sold the car though.

Unfinished builds.
RC cars will fly.

I predict that I will have passed on, and about 15 Schumacher buggies will show up at the local Goodwill. One thing that might happen: some Power Wheels type ride ons for kids are RC now. My grand-niece has a Jeep that she can drive, but Dad has a controller that over-rides her inputs to keep her f...

Vintage pan cars come roaring back to life in popularity.....rere's, vintage races, etc.....and my kids make a mint selling off my stuff, to cover my funeral, the open bar tab at the wake and a 70's rock cover band.

I don't know what they are saying but it looks like a great time.

2.4ghz radios can be had so cheap it's not even funny, unless you want a name brand. The gool radios are perfect for budget cars and have all the features you want for a novice for far less than a name brand receiver only. I have a dozen of these and the even cheaper tx4 systems that I use for my ch...

My $20 RadioLink Receivers come with "Gyros" which help with keeping a vehicle going straight. Spektrum "AVC" receivers cost about 5 times as much. You may be suffering from cultural lag which is preventing you from seeing that 2.4gz tech has come down greatly in price over the p...

Associated RC10 re-releases... twice the price they were in the 90's for 35-year-old tech from Taiwan... Buy a Traxxas and get the same thing for half the price. :P In all seriousness I don't think the slowing of RC Tech is a matter of cultural lag as much as the hobby maturing to the point advances...

Not much has to do with Tech but Stick Radio has been really pricey. I see 3 options at the moment. 1) Futaba 4GRS, US$389 - amainhobbies.com - just got one 2) Futaba 7XC - US699.90 - rcmart.com 3) Sanwa Exzes Z3 - US$699.90 - rcmart.com The 4GRS is based on Futaba 4pm. Futaba 4pm is only US$299. 7X...

There are a ton of reasons why this is a bad idea.

So when can we start?

Initial ideas.
A 1/10 scale car that would be a dirtoval/ street racer design. Flat plate chassis with limited suspension travel.
Metric hardware.

JC racing already beat you to it: https://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/racing-options/jc10-carbon-fibre :P I think GoMachV has enough files on hand to print/cut everything but the metal parts, ballcups, and tires for an entire car, yeah? Sabula (Mytimac) for the body, obviously. Wow... that process to...
