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

I have raced as long as I have been in the hobby. Racing is actually what got me hooked into RC cars. I did a bit of cart racing when I was young and I have always loved racing and motorsports since I was a kid, and I'm sure like most of us that wanted to be professional race car drivers the cost of...

Back in the beginning for me, racing was an infrequent opportunity. The LHS had a 1/12th indoor carpet road course, butI didn't have enough electronics for my off roaders and my 12i so it sat most of the time. But sometimes there were 1/10th on road racing events, so some on road rubber tires got pu...

Tonight, the program is to deal with the differential and as well with the right wheel carrier... I first made the wheel carrier, which is an hex with a thread at the end and two ball bearings : one going at the end of the shaft and the other one going on the shaft. Then I brought in the diff compon...

In the mid '90s I briefly raced an RC10L at a place called The Sugar Shack. It was on the 2nd floor of a by then run-down building. As a matter of fact, the last thing it was used for was R/C carpet racing. It sat abandoned for 15 years afterwards before being completely demolished.

Started racing in Jan 1992 (Walts indoor Clay Classic) 70th out of 71! Second to last overall with a brand new 7001 10T and only beat a Kyosho Big Brute lol. Raced indoor clay oval and carpet oval in the winter, outdoor offroad in the summer. In my 20's I was a full ride dirt oval guy, designed and ...

I raced 2wd buggy from 89 until 95 mostly at tacoma rc raceway but also at an outdoor track near me in the summer time. I dabbled a little in carpet 1/12 at original tacoma rc raceway before they moved. Now I just go play around at the track with my older and younger son but might get into some raci...

I started racing in 1991 with my Team Losi Junior-T. Dirt oval truck class. Added a graphite team car in 1992 to also race EDM. Also raced 1/10 oval pan and a little 1/12 on-road. Later in the 90's I got a Losi S.W. and a TC3 and did a small amount of touring car racing. I stopped racing in 2002. I ...

Never raced. Only bashed or schoolyard/street/yard ran. I have been on a real track twice in my life. This year and last year my son and I went to Beach RC when we were on vacation and ran our cars on the track there. It was so cool. Both times we had the place to ourselves and just had a blast. The...

I started racing back in the early 90s, 92? 93? I had a blast but was more into building the cars and geeking over the designs than the driving. For some reason, I never did anything more than just toss the car on the track and hope for the best. Never worked on my driving. I was just happy to parti...

Raced the Eagle a bunch, outdoor track at the LHS (R/C Plus!) around '90-'92. They also had a little indoor offroad track (the door behind the counter covered by hinged pegboard). Always stock motors and unmatched batteries. Then '92-'93 raced the TRX-1 Friday nights on that little indoor track. Som...

Team Losi RC Racer was a video game released on October 27th, 1998 for the Sony Playstation and Windows 95 compatible PC's. Developed by Fox Interactive in collaboration with Team Losi the game offered 16 different radio-controlled vehicles and 15 courses which could be raced in either single-player...

On my way to work. I found it interesting because you don't generally see fog so isolated to one area around here. I assume the fields down there were releasing moisture during the dramatic temperature swings we get this time of year. But what do I know, I'm no Scientician.

My wife is savage these days. : Setting - antique shop and the wife starts looking through vintage christmas tree ornaments: Me: So, you don't think you have that tree ornament thing covered? Wife: So, you don't think you have that RC car thing covered? I just turn and walk away .......... beaten.

Been getting progress done on a buddy's Team car he's had since about '91-'92. Old plastic servo saver just shat the bed and made for a good stopping point I suppose. Unfortunately, his 30+ year old Topaz is alotta bit weak and only turns around 24k rpm at 7.2 volts after being cleaned up nice with ...
