Back in my day I was working a paper route, Monday thru Saturday at 6AM on my bike, from 10 years old until I turned 16. In rain, snow and stormy conditions.
Also, riding my bike to the convenient store down the street to buy my dad cigarettes at the age of 6 and 7. Awesome.

Re: The RC10 4wd (or how AE stole the Ten4 project)
To me the car is a total rip-off of Jeff's kit...looks nothing like the prototype car that ran in the IFMAR 's that they are promoting in they're ads online...and it's not an opinion..it's a fact.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Shocks and turnbuckles. Such a cool looking car with the Ten4.1 kit added.

Re: per RC10resto's request i do for a living arcade/pinball
Was working in Las Vegas and made a couple stops at this place. Pretty cool, but too many machines were out of order.
Still had a blast, took me back to 1978!

There was a device that screwed in-between the coaxial cable and the box. It was a small silver cylindrical device ma...

Frankentruck's RC10 SSC10BB (Belted Build)
I had this pile of nice parts that deserved to go into a build. Then I finally latched onto an SSC10 chassis after missing one with some nice extras. But what about a black World's cut nose plate....

Re: RC hobby good for wellbeing? According to psychologists...
I recently saw pictures of WAPO or the Times, I don't remember which, but is was a major newspaper with two completely different headlines on the same cover story depending on what area of town, i.e. which side of the aisle, was going to be reading it.
