New member from Connecticut

Hello, just signed up. I am looking to get back into this RC thing after 25 years off. I think home quarantine had me thinking of ways to occupy my time and the box with my old RC10 inside was staring at me each day as I sat in my new make shift basement home office. After using this site to find an...

Re: RC10 Worlds Car rerelease collectibility (rapid rise)

I bought a Worlds ReRe kit on ebay in 2020. It was partially built not new in box so I did not pay too much of a premium over MSPR. But I was very unimpressed with the quality. It had the messed up top shaft, and I think something else was goofed up too that I can't recall at the moment. Over all it...

Re: Traxxas sending cease and desist letters to aftermarket companies then backing off.

The mechanical comparison to the Ultima is spot on. My first impressions were from the perspective of a 15 year old kid, one who did not yet own an RC10 or know all it's mechanical particulars. What jumped out at me looking at the RCCA ad was gold chassis, gold shocks, gold motor plate, white nylon ...

Re: 60th Anniversary Joel Johnson Ultima?!?!

Also, youtube can transcribe the video, just click the gear icon, select subtitles, then select translate and pick your language of choice. Not as good but... more than provided in the video. I did not know this youtube function was there... It worked pretty well and got a little more flavor of his...

Re: Bosscat. Or?

When I emailed Schumacher a few years ago about long term parts availability for my CAT XLS ReRe, they wrote back to say that they don't ever really discontinue parts for their older models, however they may not have every part in stock consistently (they must run small batches of older parts from t...
