Noj Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Patience and they shall appear....perhaps those bits will appear listed in some random job lot, found in an attic or shed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Plenty about as the fire Dragon got the re re treatment. I'm not too fussed about it being all vintage parts It's the saint dragon that's taking time and patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Why do Tamiya put weird slogans on the spoilers? So far I've seen "Way out Runnin'!", "Anytime Baby!!" and now "Impressive Numbers". WHAT!?!? Is it the result of poor translations, or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Part of the kitsch I guess...and a hint back to the 80s in all its shoulder padded excess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 There's a woman at work who travels in from the 80s everyday. Power suit, shoulder pads, etc. Stop lying about your shoulders! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsmith Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Always loved the Wild One ever since I had one as my first Rc car. Bought a re-release but it's never been used (and won't be)! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 My first semi-decent RC was a Taiyo Heads Up Turbo Hopper. In yellow.I'd love to get hold of a good one nowadays, but they're rare as anything... more so for yellow ones. There's on in Oz, but I doubt he'd ship to UK, and all-in that would be a lot of money, anyway. Driver's head turned with the steering servo. It was pretty cool! If anyone has one or knows of one, let me know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey29 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 If you can remember this BITD and have time to reed this it's epic and I can't wait to build one. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=24084 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyleftthumb Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I love the older retro rc cars. for me the pinnicle of these is the white plastic. models. old traxxas old rc10. i love the home made mods to get these cars to run as they were supposed to go. The time and effort of some i have soon is awesome. I do have an old traxxas rad 2 to bring back to glory. as well as decent supply of tamiya falcon. All hail the vintage!!!!

Popular Post A Return Posted December 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2014 My Losi XXCR Kinwald. It was a mess when i got it, never raced, little use but had wacked a kerb at some point. Afew new bits including a shock rebuild and new body sorted it out. There is almost a complete conversion to alloy screws, but i left afew out where i thought they might get too stressed and snap. Motor is an unused Orion GT3 turbo. Currently a shelf queen just needs a servo and receiver. Desperately need some white wheels. im currently getting on with my LOSI JRXS typeR Drift build which was started and then sat around for a while. Based on a VERY badly built kit (when i got it), i stripped it down to assess what needed replacing and it turned out to be rather alot. Has been a bit of a mission getting the bits together but its all there now. Would probably have been cheaper and easier just to buy a drifter, but to me that kind of misses the point. I now find myself thinking of the next challenge to restore instead of actualy taking them out and using them! Whatever the next one is, it will be another Losi. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Return Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Got this in the post today. Losi xxxcr with Atomic Carbon kit, and other bits, all unused. Probably the newest thing id ever consider vintage or retro. Plans are to try and find as many bits as i can to lighten it, and go brushless. Carbon fibre never fails to make go silly. Just noticed its got JBL stickers on the sheet, and on the nose of the car on the boxart. I neither know nor care why, but its nice because ive had JBL speakers in my last 3 cars! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Return Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 thats really nice! i dont know how you managed to get that far with it and not paint the body, mind you when i first looked at my xxxcr body it seemed a shame to cut it out. when youve got a car like that it makes a nice detail to have the original tyres on it. Top stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Both look in pretty good nick, pity about the red 959 shell - it's in much better condition than most out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droopy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The bodies are decent, the Porsche has the light bulbs working also. But the Toyota is missing the side mirror. Both have their technigold motor in great condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
