If you need help identifying anything R/C related then post it here. This way it will eliminate the need to start a new thread every single time. It should also make it easier when searching as all the information will be consolidated in one place.

Tamiya Falcon based chassis. But with the red chassis pieces, the best I can conclude it that it is a Stadium Thunder (1996 with the MSC servo in place). Would this be the only chassis version available with the red bits? Thanks
Hi all! I came across this cool R/C vehicle the other day and had to purchase it. The thing is, I really had no idea what it was. I tried some reverse image searching and this was my best guess. Anyone on here that could give me some information, it...

Got this guy last week. Thought it was a Delta Super J? Maybe it is with aftermarket parts? It has an aluminum rear wing with wing strut that I haven't seen anywhere and the steering blocks are nice aluminum too. Just aftermarket? Or different...

Could be lead paint. The bill that banned lead paint passed in 1976 which is the same year that that CK760 wouldve been raced. :?
So I bought this on ebay last night. It looks complete, so I figure it was a good gamble. The overall design screams Delta but the T bar mount doesn't look familiar.
It looks a lot like a Villian, except for the mount. Maybe an earlier or cheaper...

Did a little work on this one.
Swapped the Novak receiver for a Tekin, to match the esc. Slightly modified an RJ Speed front bumper, and trimmed the body.
A friend bought such body posts in a bulk.
They are perfect for the onroad cars we use.
Now I try to find them for my own cars.
I had some ideas and was searching already, but I can´t find the manufacturer or what car they are intended for.
Hi all, I'm happy I found this forum. :) I'm in need of some help identifying this aftermarket graphite chassis on my RC10 that I've had for a number of years. I recall that there were several aftermarket chassis out there back in the day, but I've...

The narrow width makes me think that it might be a Sprint car chassis..
Ever seen this one before? looks like a protech but with a whale tale in the rear of the body. Not saying it's pretty, just never seen it. Custom job? I can't see any lines on the body to suggest it added on, unless it's in the mold.
I picked this slick 1/12 Can-Am body up off eBay. After some research, it appears to be modelled after the McRae GM9 race car. The closest thing I been able to find is the Delta Plastik S0745, but it is wrong scale (1/8).
I think I overpaid a bit for these, but curiosity killed the cat (I'm the cat). Anyone know what these are? Thanks for any help.

Greetings. New member, first time poster, and a fan of RC cars from way back.
My first car was a Christmas present back in the late 80’s. My big brother and I received matching Sears RC cars. We raced them, crashed them (many times), and we were...

It is on my yz10 runner and came with a parts lot. I have no idea which model of yz10 it is from though. Although, the weave does look very fibrelyte. Sorry about the terrible quality image.
Last post
Agree it's most likely a Fiberlyte but there were quite a few YZ10 top deck/shock tower/main chassis made by aftermarket companies back in the 90's.
Any info on this motor? It came in a vintage bolink pan car I bought. I've found this same motor but its red/orange, im not able to find one in silver and black like this.
Last post
I don't know about the label. But the endbell and those huge caps are like a Speedworks motor.
Does anyone know this electrical connector? It came on a recently acquired RC10 Team car. There were two - one each on the NiCd battery-ESC connection, and also for the motor. I haven't seen it before. Metal surface area looks pretty substantial....
Last post
Yes, Race Prep. People used to trim the end so they could reverse polarity when used for motor connectors.
Thanks makes sense. In this case the guard is still on both connectors.
The orange were known for causing esc’s to go up in flames....
I was sent these in a bag by a friend of Don Ison of NODIS. The Optima belt conversion parts from my other thread were also included, but these items pictured are a bit of a mystery to me at the moment. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what...

Well it looks like you guys were correct. After a little research I have uncovered a NODIS advert from the June 1990 edition of Radio Race Car which confirms that they did actually produce an alloy diff for the TopCAT. Another one of the bundle...
Hi guys. I was cleaning up in my attic the other day and found my old RCs which I had not touched in like 25+ years. Now I have the itch to get back into them.
By far my favorite was the YZ10:

That looks like it! It's the roll bar that matches and the only one I have seen that does. Well done!
Hello, forgive me if these are nothing interesting, but I’m keen to know who makes these? I have looked online without much luck… any information very welcome.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply, brilliant to see them NIP... I'll pop these ones on my MIP, Composite Craft for now as who doesn't need a bit of bling!
I need the front piece that mounts the front swing arms to this truck chassis but I don't know what it is besides it being a Losi. It has to be a 90's truck but not part numbers on it and I bought it back then as just a running truck. I broke the...
Last post
That is the A-1003 front bulkhead. A common failure that makes them hard to find. I have read that the 3D printed ones aren’t very strong but haven’t personally tried one. Your truck looks to be a LXT with a Junior 2/T chassis.
I purchased a used Tamiya Blackfoot many years ago and it ended up boxed up in the attic as it was when I got it. I have started to clean it up and repair/replace parts in effort to run it again. The truck had these green shocks installed in the...
Last post
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.
I noticed when looking for parts for the RC10T all of the images are showing white front and rear A-Arms. The shells for the RC10T are also different. I can't remember which version I bought when I bought it. I want to try to track down a new shell...

And there is no need for the receiver battery pack with the esc.
I was reading that when I picked up the ECS. That's actually a nice feature.
Hi, I’m doing a rebuild on a couple of my old RC10s, I have 3 6 speed gearboxes, but this one has an odd diff top shaft. Does anyone know what it may be, I don’t think it’s MIP?
Many thanks.

Yes, I just happen to have that one NIP since I was hunting the phillips variant for a while. It comes in 2 flavors with one being the normal e-clip end. It has longer threads for the nut.
I picked this one up a while back, it appears to be home made and perhaps by more than one person as the work on the cage is far nicer than the engine mount,
It also shows signs it was built and ran, not sure where i will go with it but should get...

Thanks all,
I thought the sprint car was just too weird to pass up, i have less into it than the front aluminum wheels would cost used,
Ill build it out or trade it off, part of my batcave boneyard.
There was an electric plane in the Tower Hobbies 87' to 89' catalog i believe that had a Le Mans 360pt stock issue in it. Anyone know which plane it was or remember seeing it?
Last post
Yep, looks like that option for the 360pt for the Etude is what i was thinking of, thanks for checking for me. :D
New to the forum. I've been out of the RC world for 20+ years. Long ago I had one of the gold pan RC10's from the late 80's and scooped this abomination of what appears to be an RC10 for next to nothing at a garage sale. Can anyone identify which...

Update:
After some fun with this old buggy I broke one of the ujoints coming out of the gearbox.
That doesn't surprise me too much, that old stuff gets pretty brittle. But no need to worry, I have several brand new sets of output yokes for that...
I have an RC10 that has these vintage shocks on it, and I am unable to recall the name of the company that sold them. I believe they were the 1st ever shocks for the RC10 to have the bleed screw holes in the caps. These are still their original red...

Hello everyone. I’m new to the forum. I need a little help. I just recently purchased 7 RC cars that are complete. I know 2 of them are Deltas. Not positive but I think the other 5 are as well. Can anyone let me know the models of these cars? I...

Your Delta car with the 4 cells is a Super Phaser.
The small car with the 935 body is a Pocket Rocket.

It looks like you have the posts for 8-32 screws, the losi uses the smaller 4-40 posts typically. Only the rc10 series use the large ones. You could drill the chassis and use the larger screws, or if you need the right posts let me know and I’ll get...

It looks like a runner, and you only paid $80 for it. Depending on your budget you could drop $35 on a Stealth tranny and run some modern electronics. Otherwise the vintage stuff will work fine using your current 6 gear tranny. If the idler gears...

This car looks to share many of the same parts as the Sinyhi (sp?) car. The tranny on this car is gear though, and the former was belt. Also, the shocks and chassis/tub are different.
So I'm trying to build a box art car of the 2007 B44 and need your expertise on identifying the pinion gear.
I know it's 48p 19t and I think it's steel, but that's about it..
This turned up with some recently acquired parts. Just wondering if any one here knows what brand it is and if i'm likely to find its matching pair? cheers

Looks like a YR4. Back in the day i was running a YR4M and if you took a corner too tight and clipped the rear wheel it would split the bulkhead in half. This was a smart solution!

I'm just surprised it has no other markings. At least it's a usable vintage motor.
