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

Like many people here I had a gold pan RC10 when I was a kid, there was a track in my town so I race a bit. I added some stuff to my car like wide front arms, a graphite chassis and an MIP transmission. I lost that car in a move, recently I have bought and restored a few vintage Tamiya and Kyosho ca...

Then your gonna need a Le Mans motor!

Derek! You forgot to mention BOTM.

be better if u could only see it after you voted if thats possible

As far as I know nobody here works for Tamiya. If you want insider info you would probably want to ask the insiders. We are just a group of guys that play with toy cars. I’ll keep my nose out of your threads from now on. Sorry for wasting your time.

yup...mine too right when he fired the poll, The Diamond Ones in too....not sure on Thumbs yet but i got a pretty good idea where he'll vote (hint: look at his avatar)

Pulled me a good old fashion switcheroo and voted early for a change, within a couple hours of polls being open. Instead of the usual last few days or hours (and no, not to peek). But anyhow, speaking of old fashion, it is nearing 5 o'clock

Speaking of horses, I think mine died in the gate!

Some fresh photos. It baffled me why the White Mid's decals didn't sit straight, I wasn't having that! After some sectioning they're much better. The platinum shocks on the SE are brand new, factory filled with oil and not an air bubble in sight, just perfect! Expensive and a real mission to find. B...

Just when i thought i had actually finished a build, another cool piece pops up! Somebody posted this shortened Hotshot prop shaft with a one-way roller on a different post of mine (am building an FTD Racing Products Hotshot), and then very kindly gifted it to me for my build. I have never seen this...

I was gonna mention it but I thought I shouldn't steal David or Derek's thunder.

I used one of these for many years back in the day - probably my fave charger. Oh so simple.... I recently picked up this pair - one from the legend that is Richard Isherwood. He told me Glyn Peglar had revised the thermal sensor bulb on it to something slightly less vulnerable. Both still work perf...

Thanks! I was not aware Trinity made/sold shocks and it looks like this was happening while I was actively racing. From what I found on the dirt-burners site they were color coded for application and the green ones are for the Blackfoot. Trinity Green.JPG This is from the '92-'93 Trinity catalog I f...
