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

Brand new to the forum. I fly rc planes a lot, but there's a dirt track right next to the runway that finally caught my eye and sent me back home searching for my old car Id forgotten almost 20 years ago, I found it, the radio and the charger (the box is still mia but is around somewhere)! Not sure what I should do with it? Leave it as is on a shelf, upgrade to newer lipos and motor, fix the bare minimum keep it nostalgic and drive it casually or sell it and buy something newer? I'm most likely to just find a couple modern batteries and keep it close to original. Everything worked last time I remember....

Wow, too cool. I love the "this is how it was 20 years ago" thing. I would clean it up and display it on a shelf proudly exactly as it is.

If you want to sell it to me I wont stop you

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CAR!!!!! You should give it to me!

Surprised it didn't self-combust, or something else bad happen, having left it plugged in like that all this time.

That's way too nice to run! Shelf that puppy! I'm very jealous, that's my ultimate RC10.

I would not run it. If you feel like running vintage pick up a well used on ebay or wait a few months for the new issue RC10.

Cool! I hope you shelf it. It's in such good shape.
Jealous?... Jepp!

Great buggy! New member here. Hi. That buggy needs to be preserved please.

The best RC10 imho

There is a strong market for the vintage electronics these days. Someone was trying to sell the vintage batteries on Ebay for $100 or something daft. So you have a fine set of kit there. I'd run it just as it is.

I also have a World's with a ton of spares. If you get stuck for a part let me know. The outdrives are a bitch to find.

Thanks for the compliments, guys! I think I'll give it a light cleaning and shelf it while I search for a beater to run. Looks like ebay has tons of projects I could utilize and not devalue by running.

You don't need that OLD car, give it to me so I can take care of it

I wish I had my original truck still and in that good of shape! Great to see that it looks just as good 20 years later.

$10 says there will be a new owner!

I'm searching ebay as we speak. Kind of a round about way of asking the forbidden question. Hoping to find a BIN of $200.

Hmm... I must've given the wrong impression... You'll be searching the bay for a while
I rarely ever sell anything (I'm still sporting 3 boats, in fact!)
I'm planning on keeping it in addition to acquiring a couple beaters... Is there anything I should do to preserve for display? Specifically the tires.
