New to the board, old to the hobby!
Hey Guys! My name is Dale. I live in Kamloops BC Canada. I have a small vintage Associated and Tamiya collection and race new Associated cars at our local track. I started racing in 1986 with a Tamiya Frog and then to a Tamiya Falcon then moved way up to an Associated Graphite stealth car! Tried other brands but always loved Associated stuff. I will get some pics up in the next few days of what I have and maybe you can all tell me what is what! I have and original gold pan car and a newer wider gold pan car both with 6 gears tranny's. I have a couple of DS's and an RC10T black pan with Stealth trans. Great info on this site! I love it!

Welcome Dale. You sound like me... 17 cars, 16 Associated RC10/T/L/LSS, 1 Kyosho Scorpion (my first real rc car).

Hey Dale, welcome to the board! Nice to see another Canuck here
Its true, I don't think you'll find a more knowledgeable group of people on vintage stuff here (especially the RC10) anywhere.
The problem is that I expect my LHS to have this same level of knowledge

The first car had the 3 piece wheels on it that still have the original tires in mint shape. The second car is a DS. The 10T is a truck I race in our local vintage races. Still just as fast as the T4.1's!
