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

I believe that I just acquired some incredibly rare and cool pieces of RC history, so I am starting this thread to discuss the company and its products.

Very little (if any) information seems to be available on the Internet about Lightz Products. I therefore encourage all of you to share any knowledge, personal experiences, and stories that you may have. I also encourage you to post pictures of your Lightz Products cars and parts.

I have boxes of stuff to go through in the coming weeks, but here is a teaser picture to get things started.

The only things I know they made were gear-jammer conversion chassis (pan car front end + stealth and RC10/DS suspension arms at the back)....and, only going by the mentions in the Dahm's catalogs, some drag cars. I want to say they were in business around 1996ish.

This is the only Lightz magazine ad I've come across for the Ellipse LT pancar. It's from the April 1996 issue of R/C Model Cars and was only in that magazine and not RCCA or any others that I have.

Here's a Lightz RC10 fiberglass oval conversion chassis I have. I remember the guy I bought it from had two and the other one might have been slotted.

Here's a Lightz RC10 oval conversion I built back in February:

I've got quite a few RC Model Cars magazines and remember those ads, but never noticed the company was Lightz.

I'll have a look when I get home

I had a look and the ads never changed, all the same....
