Hello All ,
I'm very new to the forum . Ive been soaking in as much info as possible . It's great ! well long story short I'm 35 got bit by the RC bug again after owning a hornet and then later ('in 89 ) a losi JRX2 when I was a kid . In the past few weeks Ive had a couple newer losi vehicles that caused nothing but havoc for me , so I went searching for a buggy like I used to have bitd . I acquired this runner yesterday and have been having a blast since . If anybody can shed some light as to what model etc I have that would be most excellent . look forward to learning from you all . thanks in advance

thanks man . I put a little mother's on the rims
If anyone else can chime in and let me know what model gold pan I've got here that would be awesome . thanks again guys . Loving this place
Nice runner. It's a 6-gear transmission, short front a-arm RC10... probably a "Cadillac" model circa 1985-1987. It will likely have an "A" stamped into the chassis near the back. It's missing the front sway bar (but has the ball ends on the arms), has different springs, obviously not original tires/wheels, and a mismatched black front nose tube. They're still very capable rigs-- have fun and welcome to rc10talk!

I'd say possibly late Edinger location car. Rear shock tower only has only one mounting hole, long wing tubes. Check the bottom spring retainers. Probably no slot for easy spring swaps and probably white idler gears in the transmission. That looks like a good runner.
Greene- very well could be. In the head-on shot I thought I saw a slot on the righthand spring cup, but on second glance it looks like a shadow. Based on that I ignored the rear tower as maybe an Edinger replacement part. My Cadillac had white idlers.

Hello everyone, another new guy here. About a 2 months ago I bought 2 rc10 goldpan buggies and started tearing into them to mix and match to build one pretty nice runner…then I found this place…after changing my mind a dozen times, I’ve finally...
I have been checking out this site alot looking at info on my RC0T2 That i bought when I was about 13, just dug it out and cleaned it up but i have always wanted a buggy and found one on craigslist for $50 so here it is I think its a worlds the tail...

Nice score for $50 and welcome to the forum.
I reckon if you disassembled it and cleaned (or dyed with RIT dye) it that car would look great. I think sometimes sellers leave the crud on to hide any damage but it seems that you still got a very nice...
I ran the hell out of the Ghettoday buggy until the wheels came off literally as it was my fun car I like to bash and pop wheelies with but when the esc burnt out from running thru puddles it was put in the basement for about 2 years now so I...
If you put a modern 2wd buggy from 2022 against a 30-year-old 4wd buggy from 1992 on a medium to high bite clay track who would win this shootout? This is assuming using the same tires and electronics.
Would 30 years of advancements in 2wd...

I hope the track increased the value of the house. I'd consider that a key feature. 😁. That's a cool layout.

running something doesnt mean you are going to destroy it. besides, it's not like it hasnt been ran before.
it's odd for me to say it since i have a ton of shelf queens, but i grow weary of the attitude of keeping anything thats relatively nice...
. If anybody can shed some light as to what model etc I have that would be most excellent . look forward to learning from you all . thanks in advance
