Vintage rc cars

[rchippie]

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.

That probably did weeken the chassis some. I saw one on ebay today, the guy wanted $325.00 for a used one.

I have a bunch more pictures of cars but that was waaaaaay before digital. Had a Kyosho Big Brute, Hornet, Yokomo Dogfighter, Tamiya F-1, RC10L.Ever hear of the Spirit FF? It was front wheel drive and total crap as far as strength goes, but my favorite was a Tamiya 1/12th Toyota Celica rally car. That thing was so fun to drive.

I've heard of all of them except the last one.

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.
