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

Thank you for this old school post!
By chance anyone have a picture of the motors/similar that won the 1985 race for the rc10 and the yokomo 834b?

Oh wow, there's some really great photos in there. Amazing to see those cars that clearly!

Thank you for mentioning the RC10GX, I just spoke to Andrew at GP3D and have made my preorder, expectation is they are just weeks away from pushing these out. Super excited, since that article came out and I first saw that RC10 along side the YZ10 I...

Really interesting reading that Dirt & Track magazine article from 1989 Offroad worlds. There was some new information from that race.

Pretty much! Quite expensive over in the UK at at time, and from what the old people who ran TOP Models say they only sold 20kits in total.

It is the bodyshell which was unique to the kit, so impossible to replace.

You. Are. Awesome. Thanks!!

Nice article, thanks for posting!

I will certainly refer to some of this info in the future,
although there are a couple mistakes - for example:

To increase steering you can move the battery pack forward...
If you're looking for more steering...

Great article - Thanks for posting!

Thank you for posting this. I always wanted one of these growing up and just got one recently.

Saved to my hard drive, thanks again!

I posted some pics of my truck in the other makes/models section.

Fredswain, this may be a long shot, buy I was wondering if you would recognize my truck. The guy I got from said he got it from a guy who used to race in Houston bitd. I also got...

Paul , tks for sharing.

I would say the Corally SP12 , in terms of design & material used , was more superior than this Parma Pro 12 at that time.

Thanks for this. Great read! I love the vintage losi's.

Funny that on other prototypes there are no nose tubes
Very cool pic!

I want more like this! :mrgreen:

Cool!!! Nice article, thanks.

On our track back than Large.

PB ate CATS for snacks. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The guy with the #7 body was winning concourse. Someone knows who that is?

I remember seeing Cliff Lett's body forsale on ebay a few years ago. It was his 95 B2 body from the Japan Worlds and it was autographed. I wish I saved pics and won the auction. Hopefully some rc10talk member has the body and would share some pics.

I was able to read it in the other thread ;)

One thing for sure - BITD they sure knew much better than today how to put a car test article together!!! :lol:

For the early Schumacher 4WD fans out there, I thought I'd post up this scan from the July '91 Radio Race Car mag.

Some excellent setup info to make your CAT purr around the track. :)

Thanks Dangermouse... do you remember...

happy birthday bud!

Sweet!
That article and that car are what made me buy my first RC car; the mighty RC10 Graphite :p
I wanted a TQ10, but nobody had even heard of them. I even brought in the magazine to the hobby shop. Back then, like today, your average hobby shop...

i ran my rc10 once at washtenaw r/c in ann arbor. it is basically a barn that is used for r/c all winter long. i'd like to run b4 wheels and run it more often, was prob the most fun to race.
i have run a rc10t several times tho :)

I remember that article.

What can i say except My Mid is still fun to drive 20 yrs later.

By Far my favourite racer.
