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

is there a particular color? For black, 1/4" wide automotive pinstripe tape is very similar to original. it's also very similar to what Novak used for receiver cases.

Last I heard much was that they were closed for covid and just kinda never reopened.

I voted with my heart this time around, vs the rarity or technical sophistication of the entrants. Awesome Bill from Dawsonville's T-bird is right up there with Cobras, GT40s, and Glidden's Pinto on my all time favorite 1:1 race cars list. And I will gladly bow out of BOTM and take this as a win!! ...

If you don't need the threaded bushing, use kingpins for a Bolink/RJ Speed Legends car.

I have one of those Parma cars. RJ parts are what keeps it together.

The Parma bushings on mine are steel. However, I might have a workable solution for you. All you really need is a 4mm OD locator that fits the 5-40 threaded kingpins, correct? Then you could use two 5-40 nuts, like Bolink and RJ cars. These Tamiya bushings have the correct 4mm OD and the ID is sligh...

Here is my Super J project. Still need to find a few things but it’s coming along nicely.

I traveled to Del Mar in July of 1985 to attend the first 1/10 scale off road championships. I had a 35mm SLR camera and took 50+ pictures. Some good, some not so good. The pictures were on display in my hobby shop until I closed it in the early 90's. If you want to take a look I have them in an alb...

While testing some vintage Futaba Magnum and Megatech Jr transmitters, I noticed that the batteries and battery holders were very tight. Like separating the transmitter handle tight. After doing a little research, I found that AA batteries are supposed to be 13.5mm but can be up to 14.5mm. Just abou...

More initial build pics. During the build, I was surfing RC10Talk and somehow got obsessed with blue shocks. I promptly spent a few hours scouring ebay buying up all I could find. Unfortunately, they never made them in the 0.71" front buggy shocks, so I settled for the shortest I could find (10...

Special sale... buy a motor, get a 10L included. Just pay shipping, handling and processing fees.

Did the RC10L ever come packaged with a mechanical speed control, or did someone likely retrofit one?

From the December 91’ RCCA

Came across another one, suspiciously familiar car in this ad….
Check out the address as well.

It was a good day. My Turbo Optima wheels arrived, and Big Jim's motor book did too.

Very happy to find another black can modified B&R. I had to trade my other one a few years ago, and have been searching for a replacement ever since. This one is even nicer!

Well, what I thought would be a couple of hours of replacing some minor parts ended up taking quite a few hours, and I haven't even touched the body. Didn't realize the stock pan has holes for a smaller than stock steering servo, so had to dig one out and pretty it up and shorten the cable. The orig...
