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

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...

Painted this one for my sc6.1 for a big local race a couple weeks ago. Always working to try to increase my skills. I was proud to take "Best in Show" in the Concours.

I love these motors, especially the ones with the black cans.

This will be a TRX1 built with modern electronics and setup for modern tracks. I am still trying to learn all of the intricacies of the TRX1 cars, but I know I lucked out with the donor car I bought for this build. The donor was built quite well, and had some really nice upgrades already. I could ha...

Not too special, but man it took a while in transit.

No, the small sticker one is a trimmed down part of one of the bodyshell decals they also sold.

I have one on my Demon 2DH speedo also.

New project parts

So I’ve had these wheels for a while, NIP. I finally decided they would go perfect with this blue splash body. All is going well until I go to put the bearings in the last wheel I try to mount. Somehow it appears RPM mismatched the wheels during packaging. I’m guessing maybe Losi? I don’t have any e...

The truck is a Kyosho XRT Sport edition. The chassis throws it off a bit because it is made out of an old STOP sign. Someone along the way broke the front bulkhead plate (XR-03H) and held the chassis together with an ingenious method.

It's been a loooooong time since I've brought up needing donations, but we've only reached the goal one time in the past six months, and we're exceptionally light this month. Since it's Christmas, or whatever else you celebrate, why not give the gift of helping RC10talk stay around until at least th...

Thought this was a great read, figured others may appreciate it as well. Click pics for better resolution

Have made a little progress lately, and although it has been a bit of two steps forward, one step back, I am good with it right now. :) The front wheels came out actually better than expected. I had pulled aside a new set of 12L wheels, but remembered how well old AE nylon hydrates, cleans up, and w...

Long live RC10TALK!

This is my shelf display Hornet using the AMPRO adaptors for using Kyosho rims and Good Year branded tires.
My next project is to transfer the tires to an old school RC10 (I think the fronts and rears are a direct fit).

Do you eat persimmons in your family lol?

I have some silver aluminum centers for making custom steering arms, we use them for drag steering. I could whip something up if you don’t come up with anything better.
