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

I posted parts of this in another topic, but i was asked to provide the article in full, so here it is

I really like Craig Drescher's shells.

Awesome - gotta love the writing style "freshness" as it shows all these top-guys as a bunch of lads toying around with remotecontrolled toys

thanks for sharing!

Killer post! I was gathering parts for a Rory Cull replica (car pic you have) because of another scan and the red chassis, but finding Nosram electronics here is impossible

Thanks CAT3K for posting these! Interview with known RC persons are always interesting to read.

Craig Drescher's shells seemed to be Dallas painted.

Thanks for posting these up, shame no colour pics as these would have been good for vintage paint schemes

Was it a Nosram ESC you were struggling to find, the yellow ones? I originally used Nosram electrics back when i raced my Cougar in 1990, i used to get the piss taken my my racing mates because they were "girly" bright yellow

I think so, it would be the ESC that is in the pics of Rory's RC10- not nearly enough info on that brand of electronics that I can find yet

Yeah there's little info out there on the earlier Nosrams that i could see either.

Here's a pic of a Nosram Patriot F1 i have. Back in the day i also used a Nosram Tomohawk which was quite a basic relay style ESC.



It's hard to tell from the pic if this is similar to what he used, but if you want i can hunt out some race reports from that era to see if there's a tech chart that lists exactly what electrics he used.

That looks allot like the yellow cased Dialed Racing Products speedos from BITD. -Jeff

i'm trying to save the first 2 images in this thread, but when i do it, the images become compress. what is causes that?

Really interesting interviews. Thanks Paul!
I remember the 1985 Euros where Jamie was the driver to beat with his RC10 2WD, against hordes of 4WD. That time there was just offroad class, not divided into 2WD and 4WD.

Also Craig Dresher, I have meet him at soo much international onroad races. I really miss him today as he just does offroad sometimes.

I think it's something to do with photobucket's "improvements"

If it's any help, i can re-do them in an even higher resolution and email them to you?

Racing a Tamiya Manta Ray I think that shows how talented the guy must have been!

To be fair his Manta Ray's were the TRF of their day and eventually you could buy something close as the Top Force - RW did a chassis conversion for the Ray and I loved mine, found it more forgiving than the ProCat

BTW awesome articles - thank you!
Funny how Craig has ended up at CML so he did end up working in the industry in the end!
