I visited my old local track with my 8 year old and was surprised how RC buggy’s have changed. I last raced 1995, at my local track they don’t race buggy’s only touring car now and have done for years. We would race inside when it was winter and outside when it was summer on dirt. Every one would be using rc10s and yokomo. Good memories, my parents were really happy when I started racing when I was 12. I believe it gave me an interest at a young age,while other kids had nothing or were on the streets up to no good.

Have just uncovered a few of these beasts. I love the look of these old skool buggy’s. Very nostalgic.

Thanks mk-zero. I have a number of cars in the attic, I think maybe 30 or so rc10s + parts to build another 10 maybe. I have just found 3 nib. 1 ce champion edition
1 world car. 1 Cadillac ave. At least seven of them are 4x4 and 2 of which are prototypes which 1 was definitely used at a world championship.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Is there a replacement belt available for the early belt drive 4x4 rc10’s??? I noticed looking at mine, they look old and it would be criminal to use. Thanks
