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

Then I see them in the LHS and only think, "I MUST HAVE THAT!!!" :D They are so much more impressive in real life! After losing the desire to complete and drive my DR10 project, I wondered if someone in the world like to trade me their Arrma for my little drag car. So today this came into...

At first I thought you were wondering if there was anything out there like an 80's Horizon. I couldn't grasp why anyone would want an RC Plymouth Horizon!?!?

Super old thread, but this is step one in a Blackfoot build (which would be step one in ANY tamiya build):

The old USA-1 electric was “1/10” but the nitro crusher with the same body was on a 1/8 scale burns chassis, so yeah. Scale numbers mean very little. And if they are anything like their Tamiya counterpart, the body is actually close to 1:12 when compared to a real 1:1. They made the bodies extra sm...

I traded my built DR-10 for an Infraction. TBH, $$$ wise it was a pretty square deal; both having close to about the same in each, but I feel like I got the much better end of the deal! These big Arrmas are just impressive! :mrgreen: I have decided this is just going to be a straight up speed rig. N...

Todays updates: Got the MMX 8S ESC in, and made a mount for it. I 'lifted" it out of the cavity the stock one fit into, maybe thinking it would allow a little more airflow / cooling. Might to nothing, but might. esc mount installed.jpg I had gathered all the parts I thought I needed to quickly ...

I have heard millions of Cicadas, and seen hundreds of their "shells," but in 46 years, I have never seen this. Watched this little display as I was out weed-eating this evening. After going in an showering after the last pic, I went to go check on them, and they were gone.

Just wondering if anyone else is picking up nice RS rigs when they run across them. Kinda junk, and mostly kinda silly, but they still have that nostalgia about them. I only pick them up when in box, and usually barely used. I know exactly why they are in that shape, and why there are LOADS of them ...

I wish I had loved the Radio Shack rc Jeep I got for Christmas when I was a kid more than I did. :( This is my theory of RS RCs of the '80s. Kid tells parents they really want an RC car. They have seen other kids (or adults) racing them, and they want one bad. Parents go by the local hobby shop, an...

1979 Kyosho / Kraft Eleck Rider. The first mass produced electric R/C motorcycle.

Random FB Marketplace search for Kyosho one night ended up with a result for a 1979 Eleck Rider 1/6 Motorcycle just on the other side of the state from me. At that point, that was all I knew about it, other than the seller had just reduced the price to $40, and that was it, it was soon on its way to...

Complete coincidence. This pops up the same day I get my runner: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194317009256 This is NIB, and I will have more than that in getting this runner running. But, now I won't feel bad for wrecking this one!

Started tearing it apart today (my favorite part of a restore/refresh), and it is now down to the major components of: Frame, Rear, and Front. Each of which are soaking various parts in PB Blaster at this point. Love the simplicity of it; nothing is threaded, it is all screws and nuts. The fasteners...

This is local to me, so it pops up in my usual RC search every day. I just don't know what to think here................... I currently own three 1:1 vehicles that cost less than this! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/303136404944609/ From ad: This Ferrari 360 Modena based on the Tamaya TRF...
