First day practice video.....sporting the OG Paragon T-shirt. Didn't bust out the Whippoorwill T until day two....cuz I was nervous as heck on day 1, after so many years....didn't know if the set up, the reflexes and the eyes were still gonna work. Bobbles here and there and maybe pushing in the cor...

Being at this vintage meet-up/event I can vouch/validate......This car and the work Mark aka SilverTriple Designs has done is....just, Amazing! After all these years I was able to find out I can still, kinda, drive R/C cars, eyes and reflexes a little slower than when I was 14-18yrs. old....but I'm ...

Good evening everyone, What can I say about this short two-and-a-half-day weekend (from Friday afternoon to Sunday)? I was happy to have been able to meet some familiar faces and, above all, to enjoy the warm welcome we always receive from the members of the center's Mini Racing Club. Thank you, Be...

I think I'll just leave everything packed up from Montlucon, throw it back in the car in June and head straight for Beleysanne!!!! My regret from this past weekend was not spending more time looking at all the cars you brought Trass.....the collection is amazing and I'll be sure to pass your table ...

More random photos from the run last weekend.....Just a great track and great vintage meet-up....couldn't have asked for a better group of people to drop the OG Lynx back on the track after so many years! Most of the people I raced with bitd have either passed away or moved on from this sport/hobby....

Looked in the shop, thought about cleaning up the cars from last weekends run....but realized I cleaned them up before I left and the next vintage race/meetup is only a couple weeks away. They'd probably collect more dust on the shelf if I took them out now anyway. :lol: 20250519_221952.jpg MHhyhZcS...

For those interested....timed run, "new" 2500mAh 6-cell SCR NiCd saddle packs, re-wrapped with updated retro shrink wrap, 15T Double Revtech brushed motor....6 min 30 sec run time...wish I had these packs back in 1988 :lol: 20240311_135036.jpg YTU6rgkJ.jpg RUN VIDEO HERE: https://drive.goo...

Well...I might have done something.

Composite Craft Predator Lynx NIB build (vintage runner), thread here: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=49813

Found another chance to run outdoor, on-road asphalt (can-am) at another great vintage meet-up/weekend....much tighter course, was designed for 12thscale. Took a while to get used to the track and find the right setup....but in the end the old Predator Lynx hooked up pretty good. I'll post a run vid...

Track time! The NIB with it's slightly older brother

.....and if you don't feel like dealing with the light bulb stringers.....10W 30ohm resistors do the trick. 20250218_122323.jpg 20250218_141337.jpg .....the last two packs ran just this past Sunday, on discharge.....beer for reference, when the resistor temperature gets as cool as the can, they're d...
