The MB and Blackfoot are both definitive vintage r/c in my book. My daughter is now 6, but she will simply not take an interest in anything r/c. If it's not rainbows and unicorns she wants nothing to do with it. She won't even wear anything brown because it's a "boy's color", no joke!

I tried to get my boy into R/C too...I even used my original 1987 Monster Beetle. He's autistic, so I figured it would be a good way for him to work on his hand/eye coordination and spatial distances (things he's always had trouble with).
It worked for a while too...but that summer, he also learned how to ride a bike...and that won. Oh well...
Definitely starting young! Just got my 6 year old a B4 and will be taking him down the parking lot to get him some practice - he's really looking forward to it.

Someone at our local club has come up with an idea for his daughter and got a local painter to do a pokemon shell
I've also seen one painted with a hello Kitty design! Food for thought perhaps!
I've searched and couldn't find a good answer so I hope this hasn't been talked about before but I have two young boys (4 and 2) and they both love to come out in the shop and help me work on my cars. I have never let them drive any as I hardly ever...

Was watching a JRX2 on the bay all week. Looked great and she sent me more pics. I know I spent too much, but I am happy with it. This was a one owner car - took great care of it. Has manual, stickers, older electronics which is a bonus, aluminum...

Mine got like that and I have had it 20 years so I know its never been wet just in a box. I have taken apart a lot of Losi and almost always through away the pins and bolts. I buy stainless in bulk and just replace all of them and pitch the stock or...
I've been thinking about starting this thread for quite awhile since it seems there are a lot of gearheads here, myself included! I love any motor from the classic pushrod V-8 to insane brushless motors. I especially love performance boats and skis....

Thanks guys. I look forward to this new start. I also might be picking up a personal project from the guy I will be helping. A 1987 Chrysler Conquest. Basically a Mitsubishi Starion.
Awesome, I always loved those cars... they always look good to...
OK... I got this one off ebay a few weeks back. I think I pay to much for it. No... I know I pay to much for it. It was suppose to be some kind of truck conversion, RTR all you need is electronics. You know how it goes. Boy was I surprised. :shock:...

From the times I've tried to clean white parts they never turn out like new. I've never tried the Oxy Clean method mentioned earlier. I may next time. I prefer to give up vintage looks in order to have a clean end-product. I always end up dying them...
Ok, I picked up my lot today. They are in alright condition, but I am going for a full resto probably for the pink and gold one. The black one doesn't really appeal to me though. And I know very little about these, so please give me some direction...

It's up to you and I know it's hard letting one go. The Pink chassis would definately look cool once restored. If you do decide to sell the black one I would be very interested in buying it from you.
