Using the Wayback Machine to visit old R/C websites
The Internet Archive is an organisation that has been archiving websites since the mid-1990s. Their archive is searchable through the Wayback Machine, available here: http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
So let's have some fun with it:
Kyosho.com:
http://waybackmachine.org/*/http://www.kyosho.com
Older pages from the 1990s and early 2000nds have parts listing for old cars, car descriptions, and some pictures.
Aftermarket parts maker Cross:
http://waybackmachine.org/*/http://www.rc-cross.com
Use older pages to access parts listings for vintage Tamiyas and Kyoshos, amongst others.
Trinity:
http://waybackmachine.org/20040101000000*/http://www.teamtrinity.com
Sometimes images still work, sometimes not.
Associated:
http://waybackmachine.org/19990101000000*/http://www.teamassociated.com
Depending on the age of the page, no pictures work or most pictures work....
Always wanted to see Associated's old on-road bodies? Look no further http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20001030091209/http://teamassociated.com/shusting/CatalogHub/Bodies/bodies/onbody.htm
So what else can we find?
