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

Hi guys. This is my first post on this board. A brief history about myself... I have been around RC since childhood like most of you. The Grasshopper being my 1st real car followed by the RC10 later. Years later after having kids, I decided to get into the hobby again in the late 90's with monster trucks, working my way to racing 1/8 offroad in the RC Proseries. Those days are gone, other than a few Losi Sliders, a few electric street cars, and remnants of my racing days, lol.
A few weeks ago, my ex-brother-in-law called me up asking if I wanted a few boxes of old RC gear, of course I said yes. The following pics are a small portion of what was in the boxes. As I was never a RC10 expert, I have no idea what I have other than a few pieces I researched on here one night.
There are several pics. The boxes contain numerous parts, as I believe there are even more parts in plastic for the Top Cat I did not take pictures of. Alot of parts appear brand new, never used.
My question to you guys....Is there anything I SHOULD be looking for? Im thinking this will be a fun retro build to get my juices flowing again and get me off the TV for few nights, lol. Thanks in advance guys, I know I'm at the right place for any help i may need down the road.

Ffffooorrr ffrrreeee????

That's an awesome collection and welcome to the forums!

I don't really have anything meaningful to say but holey crap!!! Cha ching!!!!! Nice score!

Thanks for the Welcome guys. There are probably 3x the parts NIP for the Top Cat. There is also a manual fr a JRX2 and an Optima, so, some parts may be for these as well. Im just t a loss as what to do, lol. The only part I have not seen are any cvd's, but I'm sure i can track those down. I'm thinking maybe a nice build I can donate to my local HobbyTown to display in there window, then again, I wanna play!!

Hobby who?

lol, sorry for the cramp. Grabbed the phone and snapped away. I have been very impressed with several posts I've read and the knowledge of these cars on this board. I really want to do a build, and do it right. I'd hate to leave a certain part out thats hard to come by, or include a part that should've maybe been left out. Hot Tricks or Gold Pan? Black parts or White? Aluminum wheels or Factory? ( I'm sure I have New sets) Sprint Car or Stocker? These are just a few thoughts rambling thru my head!!!
Yes, HobbyTown, lol. One of 3 local Hobby Shops, as RC isnt big in Memphis, we dont even have a track of ANY kind!! Whic led to me not racing anymore, traveling is EXPENSIVE!!!

Well, I would build a nice sprint car. There are some awesome parts there.

Seeing that I pit for a local ASCS driver locally, it is high on my list. I'm thinking I'm only missing the lexan nose piece, sooooooooo, if anyone runs across one.........

I wore out the mouse .

more pics for your pleasure. I have no clue about these wheels/tires. Understandably, the Schumachers and AE are self explanatory. Tons of Trinity and Losi. Then there are discs, slotted wheels, and some that are 2 or 3 piece.

ok, why not, help!!! lol

I´m speechless!

I take that as a good sign!
