Old 1/10 Touring Cars

Recommended Posts

I'm into electric off road, short course in particular, so don't know anything about touring cars, or really on road in general.  I've been given a Corally C4 and an HPI RS4 Pro 3, with various bodies, and just wanted to know if there was any demand for old 190mm 1/10 touring cars?  Do they have retro / vintage classes?  Or do most people just use old TC's as drift cars now? Cheers.

"Vintage" touring hasn't happened as a class (yet), the cars are mostly a bit too recent although when you look at those old tourers they are very different to modern cars, much more variety in the design than you have now, so maybe in a couple of years people will want to race them again.

 

You can still race them, or drift them, only problems are that the cars are not designed for square-cased LiPo's and some cars will struggle to fit a brushless motor neatly due to the shape of the endbell. And you can't get spares.

There's a guy at our club who races an original schumacher mission and beats me with it every now and again. He's modded it to fit brushless and lipo.

Nothing wrong with the old rs4 pro 3 either, I'm sure there are still parts for it nocking about, there was plenty on ebay last time i looked for mine

Yes I actually found a new suspension arm on ebay for it yesterday, so parts aren't too bad for the rs4, but they're pretty much non existent for the Corally c4, or so it appears from my brief ebay search. Suppose the rs4 would make a nice cheap drift car, or are most drift cars 2wd only?

That sounds like a fairly simple / cheap fix if drifting is your thing. Ran it round the house today on its ancient 7.2 nicd, amazing steering (but then my current car is a truck, and a MT at that...). Got beached on all the door strips though...
