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

Thanks to a whole bunch of great friends I have been able to recreate my first rc. My Hornet had proline front tires, AJ's foam rears, a radio from my uncle that came with waterproof servos (that were waaaay too large for the chassis), and for some reason black tie rod ends on the steering. The body...

Made a hump pack for my Hornet. Kinda shocked you can still buy NiCad batteries in 2023

The AE shock mount screws arrived, so I will finish mounting the shocks later today. I also picked up a set of CC low profile servo mounts. These might have originally been a pan car part, but I have several sets in my pit box from bitd and used them on my buggy.

Today is the day to try out the analyzer. To start with, some of the vintage schmutz got cleaned off.

Built a trailer for a friend

Over the years, I've accumulated more than a few very rare items, but not sure how to define "how rare is rare?"... My Lucas Agitator Pro-10 was pretty rare to begin with, but throw in the LiteSink and pair of Sees wheels, not to mention a full set I tracked down later, and it becomes even...

Built a Vanning. Still need to source an engine and radio box cover. The rest is all new from an unfinished kit.

Pro Fess on Facebook posted up his a while back, he used a Parma Lebaron body. With Parma coming back under Mid American slot car you might be able to get this body if you like it

It's the mother load of standup, eyelet brushes!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!! And Joel even signed my box!

Hopefully this doesn't develop into the need to also turn an original into a race replica. I already got rid of the Ultima that I had for that cancelled plan.

Got some old skool 1:12 parts in the mail, to start making a recent acquisition look a little better. NIP front and rear Yokomo / ASSociated foams, 12L rear wing (well, mostly just a flat bit of lexan!), a NIP front bumper, and some spur gears. All came together, for what I consider a good price. 20...

Out of all the cars I've sold I wish I'd kept my Custom Works Dominator.

Not exactly in the post today, maybe 2 - 3 weeks ago but I only took it out of the box today. I bought a Buds Motor Analyzing Dyno to set up a motor station. I know it reads some sort of RPM likely based on voltage but I'd like to set up an optical RPM read out to get a more accurate reading. I also...

My electronics are getting a stealthier makeover.
