Default Vintage R/C cars

Any other collectors on here or people with some older cars laying around. Post up pics of what you have. Older the better

A few of mine that are my favorites.

RC10GT



Inferno 10



Dynamic Models

I would say pre 2000. Or any kit that has been discontinued for a while. I just like to see cars I haven't seen in a while and I'm curious to see what people have tucked away in their closets that they have forgotton about.

I'm not sure what really qualifies as vintage but older the better.

How did you acquire that truck from RCCA? Also, how about some body off shots?

I've always wanted a Wild Willy because they look so awesome and seem very fun.

Jato, I got the truck from Thundertech , I have known Darren and Brad for years , both really good people. Darren got the truck back from RC DRIVER and I was out there in Chicago for IHOBBY, well I ended up with this truck , he wanted to clean it and go threw it before I got it , told him NO leave it the way it is !!
It was used at IHOBBY that weekend and then sent to me ,still has the dirt that RC DRIVER got on it , never been cleaned. Ill get some more pics for you .

I picked up a Kyosho optima with period controller, charger and stick pack at an opp shop for a crazy low price, I haven't decided whether to sell it or keep it yet, I'll get some pics up soon.

Me and my buddy bought these new in 1986 (just sold them to pay for SCX10), they sucked for crawling ,, but will miss them. One was still gas and the other i rigged up an electric & ESC (much better than the stupid gasser )





like this with the Datsun body

I got 1 or 2 of them.
Most of them I got new and raced. Over the years I have restored them back to original with original parts.

I have 30-40 more that are in various stages of restoration.

Dang, I'll have to get some of my stuff out of storage and grab some pics. The RC10L and RC12LW still have electronics in them from their last race in '93 or so. I even left the NiCds taped in there! I would regularly convert both of these cars to SS versions because I didn't have the budget in college for four different cars, but I raced onroad and oval. I also have an original RC10 with an Andy's "Monster Truck" conversion.....before they started calling them "Stadium Trucks".
