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

IMG_20240627_120914.jpg IMG_20240627_120914.jpg Thank you! I still have an original 6010 gold pan RC 10 I also have a RC10GT with an OS18. I've been digging thru boxes of parts and bodies. I have an Optima Mid that is a race time capsule. It has a JG Graphite extended chassis with a Lightspeed heat...

I use a Roll Pin starter punch and finish with a Roll Pin punch. The Roll Pin starter punch is hollow and holds the Roll Pin to just get it started into the axle.

Wife gave me an old storage bin she wasn't using so I figured I'd try it to store motors in. Holds them perfectly, so I ordered 8 more bins online. 550 cans are too big for the 18-compartment config, but I'm sure I'll think of something.

Before Tsukuba's R/C designers reveal their latest Buggy rebirth, I want to show you my genuine Dogfighter. Body was brushed in an age, when electric cars acted gas powered models, staged by stickers e.g. Texaco, Bardahl, STP a.o. Motor is made by Mabuchi for Graupner. It is similar to what they mad...

In Boston, this is a Paasche

I'm hoping for the team car as well but maybe it will be something completely different like an on-road pan car - a 10L perhaps?
With Christmas coming at the end of the year, maybe the best is yet to come.
Really happy with the direction my favorite RC maker has taken this year.

The top one is actually just "Mike" not sure why google translate is saying microphone

Hope everyone enjoy their day!

I have a couple more of those viper bodies in the mail so I will paint another one like this for you.
