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

I've been collecting my boyhood RC dream cars for a couple of years and have so far amased the following cars .
1 Yokomo YZ834-B Dogfighter
2 Kyosho re release Scorpion
3 Ayk Sidewinder
4 Hirobo Zerda
and now there's only 4 left.
1 Tamiya SRB
2 RC10
3 Mugen Bulldog
4 Schumacher Cat XLS
So , the bulldog is too rich for my blood and I'll probably never be able to afford one plus I'm into runners not shelters .
That leaves an SRB ,an RC10 or a Cat, the SRB is pretty easy to come by as it was very popular and re released so there's no time pressure , so I'm thinking this is one of my favourite haunts so I should really get an RC10 but I'm supprising green when it comes to the gold pan , or the Schumacher Cat ......
Any thoughts
Things to consider
1 my cars are all runners so parts will eventually be needed
2 I'm happy with re releases but enjoy hunting for that elusive part as well
3 I'm always on a budget

The trouble with the RC10, you can't stop at one!

They breed by themselves.

Better get an rc10 or we will have to ask you to leave.

To improve your karma, get an RC10.

What they said, be one of us, resistance is futile

They all breed , 2 years ago I had 1 now I'm (and the wife) looking at 8 lol . I might have to sell another modern car and start hiding some of the others in my workshop ......I might be developing a problem

Happy to sell you an SRB re-re NIB as i have a couple i will NEVER have time to build....

if you still have it in a couple of months i might take you up on that .

Well I've now got an answer to my own question , I've managed to end up with a lot of Yokomo yz-834b parts left over , mostly modern CNC parts and some I made myself that I originally used to build my first Dogfighter but I've managed to replace with genuine parts , add to those parts a few recent lucky finds some of witch are going to swap out with my complete Dogfighter and i have the basis for building a more rough and ready, not so genuine runner , might be a belt drive or use more easy to find Kyosho chain and sprockets , I may stretch it as well to a more modern wheelbase and widen the track , possibly a slipper , not sure about the possibility of one way roller bearings up front , anyway new build thread soon.
