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

Maybe i'm just being too nostalgic but after coming back to the hobby after decades I'm not too impressed the aesthetic evolution of RC buggies. If you stand back and look at how the arrangement of shock towers, the car looks like a 4 poster bed. The mid motor design mandates a "cab forward&quo...

So the first ever "Hobby grade" RC I owned was a used Losi JRX Pro SE that my step father helped me purchase when I was a kid. Later I sold it off to help buy a a former racer's LXT and his entire inventory of parts, radios, electronics, and motors, batteries ect. This was decades ago but ...

Welcome back! Looking forward to following any prototype builds you may start.

Welcome aboard!! There are plenty of radiant threads on the boards, it's quite a collectible car. I have a pro radiant mid myself. Sounds like you had the bug like most of us. Nice story and stable of cars. Whereabouts are you in Philly? There are a few of us in the northeast area, I'm about 50 minu...

I would splurge and go after an RB10, but I'm kind of a budget buster by nature.

Honestly the bandit as far as a basher goes is pretty great. The bloodline goes back to 1993-94 and 95% of the parts are compatible. If you are able to break it, you won’t be hard pressed to find parts either. They are fast, handle well, and aren’t terrible on the eyes. That said, the bandit is bori...

Maybe you are the target audience for the Genova (aka Jeg's Stinger). It is a modern-ish buggy with vintage looks. I know very little about it and have never actually seen one in person, so don't take this as a recommendation. The reviews I have seen have been mostly positive. The most often repeate...

IMHO, parts availability is the most important thing for a basher. There is no question about if it breaks, it will get broken. Being able to quickly (and hopefully cheaply) get it back going will greatly increase your fun factor. And this is where the Traxxas 2WD platform (Bandit, Rustler, Stampede...

If you plan on bashing with a Tamiya, there better be lots of parts available.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tamiya cars. But their plastic is extremely weak. Even 3D printed parts are generally stronger, and neither compare to the nylon used by most.

You won't be disappointed with the Turbo Scorpion , I've had the Re Re Scorpion for a few years and I've given it hell , it's not a bad basher and I don't feel guilty as it's a modern copy , it won't handle like a modern car but it's great fun .

I have a re-re Turbo Scorpion daily runner and while I agree that it's great fun to bash around in the yard, it's far from perfect. The front axle beam tends to bend easily and can become loose and rotate which makes the wonky steering and suspension geometry even worse. I ran my car with a 3500kV b...

i have some other interests that like to sneak off with my wallet in the middle of the night... the limit of 8 keeps me from going overboard and hording kits. you should see my vintage analogue synthesizer collection :mrgreen: Believe me, I understand. In addition to my rc collection (currently 35,...

Well done, sir. I've found the overall quality of Kyosho products are second to none and I believe the TS is one of the best looking 2wd buggies of all time. If anyone is interested... Out of the box, my runner car tended to oversteer on a loose dirt track so I've made some rear suspension mods to p...
