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

Indoors nothing is more fun that a micro-t haring round the kitchen, I defy anyone to wheelie one without a daft grin on their face, my favourite outdoors is my Twin Force 1/8 Kyosho, 2wd reverse 4wd forwards, only RC I ever saw with axle tramp in reverse, reminds me of my first full size ford

WHAT?????

It's all good Anthony, beat the living crap out of it and enjoy. I don't care, it's going to be turned into a 2.2 exo trail rig anyway! If I ever get my exo for my Hilux!

Right now I am having the most fun running my Old but Still Friggin Old RC10 around a couple local tracks, it just brings back some of the good old times.

This is my OSFO RC10 (some have seen it before)

We are talking RC cars right?

rarely do i ever charge up a battery to go mess around outside. but, i'd have to say my midnight pumpkin would take top honors.

no high horsepower oversteer & crazy speeds, no running the length of a football field to put it back on its wheels, 45+ minute runtimes...

I'm with you! I love finding single track or mountain bike trails, stuffing your pockets with a few extra batteries and just walking and trail rigging for hours with my kids. Time goes by so fast it can get dark and you need lights to get home!




Sorry about the poor pics but it's hard to drive, keep your balance and take a pic when your a FOG (Fat Old Guy)!

OK, you said it , kidding, but you are down to 2 body posts. At least it's on the same side, so only one chassis plate is, lets say, less than 100%. Looks like I will be bringing it back without the body on it and the pieces in a bag. I think if, I mean when, I get one it will have a roll cage instead of a body. If it was mine i would try to climb cliffs with the damn thing and ending up rolling it a 100ft. So i guess you now know my dreams and goals for the near future.

Tamiya Wild Willy 2. No doubt.

2nd is my Tamiya Mini cooper. Me and one of my racin buddies get them out and setup a small track in his driveway. Lots of fun. 45 min runtimes. Nothing makes you cringe more than the sound of a mini doing the upsidedown road rash at it's full speed.

Definitely the RC10GT for all-around most fun basher.

Since it was already mentioned, and because I feel that it is a very different kind of bashing, I have to give the T-maxx a nod for being an awesome bashing truck too. I love mine, and rarely have any issues with it. Of coarse the reason I don't have issues with it may be because it is scratch built from after-market goodness.

I did something similar using stuff I already had. Put a stock armature in a modified can, with 0 timing. Slows it down some, yet has a lot of torque. Goes through the grass and stuff pretty good. Great battery and brush life, hardly got warm. Maybe 15mph or so in a truck??? Don't remember gearing, probably in the 17 to 20 tooth pinion range. I turned the reverse EPA down on the radio, or it was too fast (same speed) in reverse.

id have to say one of my old hpi nitro minis with a 1.5hp fantom 15 with a cvec pipe god i miss hittin 68mph with a small car
