In 1982 Tamiya embarked on a comical new venture in the 1/10 2wd electric vehicle scene with the Wild Willy. Intentionally disproportional the Willy wasn’t about scale accuracy or speed, this Jeep was designed as a stunt-mobile capable of puling wheelies at will. Constructed entirely of plastic the ...

Track day report- Buggy wasn't bad, had some issues with the 25* castor blocks making the car tight in the center of the corners and slow to release the rear end so I could square up for the 3 sets of doubles. I would normally increase the rear tie rod length to get more rotation, but I'm limited by...

if someone wants to use a nimh saddle pack you could just cut off the lipo battery mounts and file the slots to shape. Modifying the chassis to make the slots usable would just be too much of a hack job final product. Kyosho makes nice kits, but this is a bone head screw up from them. But whatever....

Got into the decals. Pretty much a Greenwood Corvettes tribute theme. Actual colors came out a little more "Hot Wheels" than I think I like, but overall good with it. Still need to correct some paint issues, and get into the bumper, and should wrap it up.

I received this little beauty. 7001 RC10T still in the shrink wrap. I'm not sure what to do with it. I already built a NIB RC10T and so I don't know if I deserve to open and build another. Collecting NIB kits isn't really my thing. Edited: I'm trying to determine a value range for this kit. All the ...

Whether mud season or Christmas Season Tamiya was excited to display their ever-growing lineup of off-road vehicles in these advertisements from 1982: Rough Rider: Tamiya's original 1/10 2wd electric off-road racing buggy released in 1979. A scale version of Funco's Single Seat Baja racing buggy. Sp...

I would normally increase the rear tie rod length to get more rotation, but I'm limited by the 2 hole CR hub carriers. If you get the rear hubs from a XX CR Kinwald you get a third outer hole for the tie rod. 20250112_142310.jpg Unfortunately they used the same part number as the CR hubs (A-2126), ...

You don't see many Track Master oval builds, so I figured that I'd venture down that path. Bob was kind enough to send the graphite chassis kit several months ago, and I just sourced the elusive rear oval tower. The cf weave is different (small pattern) on the rear tower. I have the rest of the part...

I need to convert it back to a Futaba J and add a power switch, but pretty cool Competition Model Works ESC.
. Edit: it cleaned up pretty well

Sticker time! As usual, I wanted a 9 rather than a 2. Other elements are basically from the kit stickers, but the 9 was designed using the plotter and 2 different vinyls... https://i.imgur.com/uWE5Mri.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/pwgdZcA.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/7xnStWs.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/uICNvPN....

Wasn't that a proline sticker?

Yeah I think the AE version is the same but without the red circle and strike through

I just resurrected my Team Associated RC-10 2T Championship buggy from a long slumber and found this forum. Purchased new in 1991 and using an MSC and Futaba controller and electronics. Old NiCD battery holds a charge for about 3 or 4 minutes. So off to get a 3800Mah NiHM Tenergy and charger from Am...
