Those are aftermarket scratchbuilt buggies loosely based on the Sand Scorcher. The super champ was a bit different.

Just a conversation. Hobbies like fine art, coins, stamps, comic books, antique cars, antique cameras, porcelain signs and on and on have pretty well defined collector markets. This also helps to create stable values and some predictability with...

Hello all,

I don't know why but I decided to dig out my barely used Kyosho Optima Mid that I bought and built more than 20 years ago-I ran it about 10 times at the most. It ran perfectly until I decided to forget about it all these years, but now...

Last post

Hey guys, I need your help again. I was running the Optima today and the car just stopped and I noticed smoke puffing out of the lemans 240 ST. This motor is original to the car and has very little use as I hardly ever ran the car throughout the...

The RC10 Worlds Car rerelease (especially NIB) has skyrocketed in terms of collectibility if one uses price as a good measure. 1200 and 2450 USD were the most recent sales for NIB kits on ebay. That's no joke...and I don't think it is going back...

Last post

I'm not surprised. As Gen X gets a little older, we're looking at the things from our past that we had, or wish we had, and are in a place to afford a little nostalgia. RC was huge in the 80's and 90's, so there's a bunch of us. The funny thing is,...

I started building this thing about a year ago and it was going to be my ’09 VONATs car. I’d stopped working on it when I realized I wasn’t going to make it, but I thought I’d go ahead and finish it before moving on to another project. I suppose...

Just an FYI - I ordered a pack of those stand-offs from Sheldon's and they are the same 1 ones used on the RC10 chassis. All 6 are tapped for 4-40 screws.

So I’m wanting to sort a car for next years UK vintage race season. I’m looking for something with plenty of and easy spares availability, it’s kind of leading me down the road of a rere. I’m a bit cold on the Schumacher reres and was wondering...

Last post

Good choice :)
I've gone Schumacher in 4WD with a Bosscat and I've already got 2WD and truck covered with a B3 and a T3.
In hind sight I'd have gone Procat or XLS as Bosscat parts are proving hard to find.
