2 days of RC in a vintage event in France : Montluçonnaise 2023 https://i.imgur.com/f7ODn3l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bN5DWwO.jpg Lot of fun, some face on some pseudo (poke @ Trass), and a lot of runs on both a nice onroad track with nice curves and a very nice offroad track in a very vintage spirit,...

Some may recognize this relic.

Hello everyone,
Thank you for welcoming me to your forum.
I'm in France.
After a long break from modeling, I'm taking up radio controls with vintage cars.
I worked on a Hirobo 44b. And I'm working on a Kyosho Optima.
I will post pictures soon.
THANKS.

Picked this up as part of a bulk buy fairly recently - it was thrown in because it had jammed so was basically a freebie. All it had in it when i stripped it was a grub screw inside which had prevented it spinning. Label is pretty much perfect. It is a 13 turn Platinum II. What is pretty interesting...

No surprises what this is , the Sand Rover was my first rc car , never really great and its taken me 40 years or so to come back too , a lot of CAD and 3D printing involved in the lights and dashboard that are both illuminated as well as the engine , gearbox cover , the celebrity driver's head and S...

Kyosho Optima Pro, last of the chain driven Optimas. Period correct LeMans 480 SPA to finish it off.

RC10DS White Parts Special. A project that was almost complete minus a body. I was gifted a Vaterra 1967 Mustang fastback body a few years ago. I decided to mount that body onto a DS chassis for this months's BOTM. The original DS wheels were swapped out for a set of Protoform VTA wheels. This was m...

RC10 WOIN style with RPM transmission (1.96), used for a carpet race

Some time ago I came across an Ebay listing for an old Hyperdrive car. The seller mentioned it was an old National record holder in its day. I was interested but let it pass and moved on. The listing was removed so I figured it sold long ago. Then a year or so later, it shows back up on Ebay so this...

Wow! Sure looks like the real deal to me...awesome! Seriously nice find there! Steering blocks are white vs. black...but bending kingpins and swapping blocks was common bitd...and they're the same style. Yep - that is the only difference I see as well. You may be right about the front end being reb...

I've been away for some time. 2023 has been a rough year for me so far. But been getting back into things now to get my mind off daily living and hopefully it takes a positive turn from this point on.

This looks like the car to me and a great find! The RCCA article mentions it getting stepped on by a corner marshall.. do you see any signs of that? Funny you mentioned that. I did notice some body creases and a large one on top of the roof kinda shaped like someone's foot. It's hard to capture wit...
