Held from August 3-9 in Romsey England, this is a special vintage magazine capturing the 1987 IFMAR 1/10 EP Off-Road World Championships. This cleared up questions about the winning vehicles 1,2, and 3 in both 2WD and 4WD classes for me. Also the prototype Yokomo 870c and Kyosho Optima Mid machines ...

They did so by finishing first and second, but not with their production Works cars, but with cars that were designed especially for this worlds track. It was forbidden to ...

Some guys might remember my RC300 project, building a new car from spare parts. I just realized this was 7 years ago. Well, times fly ... The project was for building a plain basic RC300 car. So the name is RC300 Basic. This car still belongs to my collection and I really like the look. Because it w...

The thrill of a vintage unboxing never gets old. No, this isn’t the 2017 re-release of the XLS Masami—this is the real deal, the original commemorative 4WD production kit by Schumacher, released after their iconic 4WD victory at the 1987 IFMAR Worlds in England. Thank you for guiding me about this e...

Thank you! Here are more photos to share. Having the reissue Masami XLS model built up and painted, makes it a little less tempting to build this one (but barely).

Do you have "blank" 3 mm steering rods and rear track rods turnbuckles or are they hex ones? Would be interesting to know. I bought my XLS kit as soon as it was available spring '88, and it had the blank ones. Hello! Do you have pictures of what you have (or what you are referring to)? Wo...

I know this forum isn't very race oriented, however this may help others that are vintage racing- ...but wouldn't it be great if it were? 8) Pit Tips was one of the be best parts about RCCA back in the day. ( Couldn't resist making a Pit Tip out of Charlie don't surf's post ) Traction Tactics.jpg

Here we are exactly one month later and the board started lagging badly again. Looked at the server monitor and yup, it's at 100% load. :? I logged into Cloudflare to try and figure out what was going on, and after much detective work it seemed like we were being inundated by Hong Kong. I blocked al...

In 1983 Tamiya would create yet another highly popular 1/10 2wd electric off-road platform when they released the Subaru Brat. Modeled after it's full-size namesake the Brat used an entirely new ORV (Off Road Vehicle) chassis that was unlike anything they had previously designed. Rather than using a...
