Great story! Love hearing how people first got hooked on the sport/hobby! Welcome...there are some really helpful and knowledgeable members here.

Great thread idea! I gotta add this....my favorite.....the original Composite Craft Lynx. Winner of the very first 1/10th scale On-Road Nationals in 1987...and then again in 1988 with Bob "Bullet" Light behind the wheel both times.

Pretty sure it's a 19turn triple wind. However, if you have a silver dot with the same can/color motor label, it's a 19 turn double. I've got both, but in all honesty....you never really know what you have until you open the can. It was sooo easy to switch armatures in cans on brushed motors back in...

WIth the pink Cam?! Perfect!! Nice build!

Technically....delivered today...but will take a few months until I get back state side to pick her up! Very new Revtech to add to the collection! Stoked!

Another RevTech to add to the collection!

….......and so it begins...finally! I used to race bitd ('84-'90) and after discovering this great group and many other vintage R/C groups a couple years back, I've managed to build up a collection of my old racing gear. Many heartfelt thanks to members here, new and old friends re-connected with an...

Tear down done....time to start cleaning!

I gotta break out the adjustable 10x with the reticle....used for welding inspection bitd. You wouldn't need that to inspect any weld I've made. You can see that they are garbage from across the room. :( Lol! Funny thing is...I've spent almost 30 years now in QA...and I've lost count on the number ...

Still don't like that extra servo mount hole that was added so close to the original hole...but...I've got a spare and another one from my next nib Lynx build in reserve. Notice the early build chassis has 2 holes drilled for the upper link mounting posts (1RT+1LT) and the later lynx build chassis (...

Just my 2 cents...but I've found selling something you care a lot about to someone who loves/will love it just as much or even more than you always seems to bring me more joy than regret. For example, I had an old '78 280z I spent 4 years driving and fixing up years ago. Finally and with some regret...

Enjoy your 40's...cuz 50 is when that check engine light comes on!

Nice thread! I'm partial to this beauty. Brand new, never soldered up.....yet! Still have one that's been run too, with OG deans 4-pins. If you raced 1/10th on-road can-am/indoor oval on the east coast in '87-'89....you might have seen this 16T Double in front of ya

Couldn't resist dropping this in for now...

Organized my little workbench a bit and prepped the Delta shocks for buffing and polishing. Looking forward to getting back stateside to pick up a large bunch of spares to finish up two CC Predator Lynx builds.
