I love the sledgehammer,i use to have one. I think the sledgehammer was replaced by the stampede. Does anyone else have a 80's or early 90's vintage rc ?.

I had, when I joined this forum, (and thus my name since I couldn't think of anything else at the time) a Kyosho Optima Mid still working from 1985.

I have since let it go when I moved recently and regret it almost everyday since it was the first car I built.

I was looking for parts to fix my falcon, & i found them on ebay UK. They should cost around $75.00 US plus shipping.

I was just driving my original RC10 and something happened, locked in full throttle and went head on into a car tire. Chassis is in the shape of a U now. Probably the "vintage" Futaba Magnum AM. Here's a pic of it just before the wreck with a duratrash body.

Two pics of the top off and stripped, good thing about aluminum is it bends easily back into place. My great job of chassis lightening isn't good for strength though.

I'm pretty sure I have an extra chassis for that car in a box in my basement. PM me if you're interested. If I remember right, it's in exc condition.

Here's my vintage..

Bolink Pan Car.





A few RC10's W/stealth tranny (I also had the original RC10 at one point but it got stolen). I have 2 Championship Editions and one Factory Team car. I bought the carbon Fiber chassis and added every hopup... from CVD's to Ti turnbuckles.
