Hi
After a long time out from the hobby I have just unearthed the Schumacher Procat that I bought second hand as a kid. I decided to get it running again and have found RC10Talk a great resource and inspiration for the project.
Thanks to the Schumacher Vintage section what started as a mission to get my old car going again has turned into an obsession in collecting Vintage RC You will be glad to hear the collection is not totally Schumacher it does includes a RC10B4.1
I now hope to get a couple of cars, from my ever expanding collection, fit to start racing.
Cheers
Chris

Hi Lotus74
I've never raced before but hope to go to the Brett Davis Vintage GP in January. I have a few cool cars now, so I just need to focus my efforts on making them race worthy.
i just saw some news on facebook regarding chris chan. apparently he passed away 2 weeks ago from a fall down a flight of stairs. very sad.
i really loved all of chris's rc10 box art ads. that's one guy i really wished to have met.

My builds are going out of sequence. My 6 yo kid had enough fun with my team at build and asked to build a truck. I just happened to have the parts from an eBay find washed and hydrated. I was going to finish my team car first but, I wanted to jump...

So in getting more details on the build. The decals were originally printed by Complex Ink. The chassis protector is going to be a challenge. It was from Scvrc which is now closed. Apparently the dog was called carter and winners of club races...
So I finished off my XX Kinwald build, and the car is running nicely now. I also stripped down my original XX and that's sitting in parts ready to be rebuilt. Obviously the thing to do is go and buy another XX for another build! I have issues....

guys, sorry the pic didn't show, I didn't check it afterwards.
Update on this one is the car is stripped down, and cleaned up the parts, but I've not yet rebuilt it.
I have had a few more cars on the table needing a rebuild so prioritised them,...

Some years ago I received a hand cutted chassis and some other stuff for showing at Classic RC museum. All of this stuff was prototype stuff during development of a certain 1/12 scale car. Other parts will be used from the production car or what is...

Seems that I have lost the rear axle completely. So everything including the diff is missing. I suppose there is no point for me trying to restore it. Any interest in parts here? Here’s all that is left.
I just won this on eBay. I haven't got it yet, these are the pics from the auction. The seller claims that it was team driver Chris Raceles' truck from the 1994 Winter Champs. It looks pretty legit as a period correct racer, and the stickers...

Sorry guys, no new pics to post at this time. It's actually pretty dusty/dirty from sitting on my hobby room shelf, it really needs to be torn down and cleaned up. I did install a nice used OS12CZ-Z, a nice set of factory team shocks, and some...
Hello all I am new to this form.
