Wazzup guys? Been missing you all. Cool to see these lovely cars here and knowing that the BOTY is still running. I just casted my two votes

To me, that's crazy that they used the same model numbers for the Rx, and Servo, even though they have a different pin layout. Any change in design should've been denoted with a model number change, weird stuff. Thanks guys! I would think so as well. But they did change case color, plug color and d...

Built a replica with the re-re Black Edition. My first Tamiya RC truck was a Quick Drive Midnight Pumpkin in the 90s, so wanted to finally build a real one. Sourced original tie rods/white ends, era correct electronics, hardly anything else is different chassis-wise. In the middle of body work, but ...

Looks great! I like how the ESC is on the bulkhead too.

Our cars showed up at our LHS on Friday.

No Pepsi Clear in the foreground? Had to go with Dasani?

Linear servos. It's sad we don't have them in modern times. EMS made some conversions back in the 2000s for a s148. It makes so much more sense.

I got a box of total awesomeness today! I have been collecting electronics for my JJ Ultima build. I have a period correct Trinity modified, a period correct Novak NER2S receiver for G plug connectors, and a G plug S32 steering servo. I have a gold label Mospower ESC, but with a J plug connector. I ...

So got a nice surprise in the mail today IMG_20231212_171719609.jpg IMG_20231212_173926771.jpg Also I ...

Any one wanna guess what I bid on this lot for? One of the too good to be true stories out there...

_VUxqGbj0KM Even though I put the wires in backwards on the motor, like Frankentruck mentioned this Rooster would have needed to be reversed to make it work right, so it goes in the correct direction currently with the wires backwards :lol: . Was surprised to see it goes as fast in reverse as it do...

The CF panel I ordered finally showed up yesterday! Today was the first day of my Christmas vacation so I managed to get this done today. http://i.imgur.com/gOK5nJH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/F32kvNi.jpg The panel was a bit of a gamble - I bought it on AliExpress and it was nearly half the price of most...

Hi all, I'm new to the vintage RC10 platform. My time as a kid was with Tamiya Grasshoppers, Hornets and Frogs. I always wanted a RC10 but the prices were way over our budget. I was recently re-introduced to the vintage RC world which re-ignited my desire to own the unattainable from my childhood. I...

Starting off my Christmas vacation with another 10Lss build.🙂 - Composite Craft Ground Effects chassis, Aero lower pod plate, graphite upper plate, graphite t-bar and sway bar - Wood Racing aluminum front end - CRC aluminum bulkhead and collet-style clamping hub - Litesink motor plate - Trinity serv...

The thing that always looked so bad about my RC cars in the past, was the bundles of extra servo wire, or battery pack wires, in bunches everywhere. I was determined to do custom length cables. Cut the Airtronics servo wire in half, and added the pins for a J connector. https://i.imgur.com/ZTJAvWt.j...
