I managed to dump this from VHS the other day, my grandfathers old catalogue from his boat shop. very old school

he used to make the hulls and all the running hardware

I'm a retro radio control hipster - I only like the stuff no one bought!

I am just curious. How many of you own a Traxxas boat?

Last post

Hi All,

I came across an ad for one of these, followed the info onto a few forums, Amazon reviews, etc. and the consensus seemed to be it was an amazing, fast boat. I'd been hesitant to venture into RC boats due to the cost. When you found...

Thanks for joining the forum and for your advice, SJFE! The main reason I painted the hull was because I wanted to get rid of the raised logos and markings embossed on the bottom of the hull. I figured sanding those off and repainting could only...

well this isnt your usual topic here, but can anyone recommend a small brushless setup for a 16 tunnel/hydro? I have no idea when it comes to brushless, so motor / speed control (amps?) / battery are all unknown to me. in the oldschool days, a 380...

Hi,

I have a NQD Tear Into, Jet Boat that is 16 inches long, that I put together.

I bought a $10 380 size brushless motor from China and a $10 Brushless Speed control, again from China.

I'm not sure of the date on this catalog, but on the back cover there's a 1086 so I'm guessing that's October 1986.

For some time now we have been having social vintage get togethers at a local track that remains untouched since the 80s.
It has become more popular with guys from Tamiya club coming for a run.
The local council were kind enough to do some repairs...

Great stuff , looks like a cool meet so to speak. That first action picture is brilliant, are the rest of the action pics like that. I love the way the cast off dirt from the wheels looks like its still moving and the way the car looks clearer...
