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.

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...

Just a little encouragement to those, like me, that keep cluttered work spaces. I wish I had before pics, but between my 2x5' workbench, and a fold out 2.5x6' table, for the past couple of weeks I have had ~25sq.ft. of workspace, with only about 2' useable at any given time. :roll: With the addition...

Powder coated the main frame pieces today. More pitting on the parts than I was hoping, and the PC job is DIY, but overall it came out very acceptable. My PC guy is a bit of a d1ck, but he works for peanuts. :mrgreen: TBH, the original paint looked as though there was zero prep, and no primer applie...
