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

I got this sad little Grasshopper.

I only paid $40 (shipped !) for it, so I couldn't really go wrong. And other than a pinion gear, I have enough junk to piece it together with.

I got a parts RC10 that was supposed to be in fair condition, and well, yea, it is just that. But I need one or two lower cost graphite chassis for a couple of builds. The big surprise is that I think the shock towers may have been manufactured by my favorite vintage RC accessories manufacturer.

I got an older rc10 manual, catalog, illustration and supplement documents in the mail today.

Looking at 1984 prices that stuff was expensive.

I got a Li'l Hugger to go with my Li'l Digger.

You've got a Li'l collection started there.

Was the Kydex looking black top plate from the Digger ever used on the Hugger? I think I actually had the Hugger. I remember my being longer than the Digger seems in the photos. "Road Hugger" on the tires has a familiar ring as well.

I am guessing that this was from a team racer given that most of the associated parts are stamped not for resale.

I get having extra arms and axles. What I don’t get is having 7 top plates. Do they shatter ? Should I just start a collection of just top plates?

I picked up a really nicely painted and trimmed Viper body from rwordenjr. I highly recommend his painting services. I have a short arm gold pan that's been waiting for just the right body.

3racing Advance S64 Touring Car kit

Here’s an unusual one I received today.. aluminum JRX2 spindles. If anyone knows more about this company and their parts, I’d like to hear it.

I got a box from Schumacher. Nothing noteworthy except my Storm now has wheels and ball bearings for the steering. The rest was just spare bits to throw on the pile.

I don't know where I am going with it yet. One idea is to put a drag car body on it, hence the big wheels in back / small wheels in front.

it took a whlile to arrive with some additional delays but it is finally here... I finally have a Marui CJ-7 Golden Eagle Super Wheelie...


And in the box there is one car (black body) and 75% of the second one (white body, new) : missing a chassis, transmission, rear axles, and front springs.


And that means I will have to possibility to precisely model the CJ-7 body shell like I did for the Land Cruiser.

I've been hunting for a nice B2 and after letting some nice ones slip away too cheap I finally got mine. And I even like the paint job.
