vintage rc- worth anything..?

[t-maxxracer32]

hey welll heres a buncho pics of all my dads old crap.not sure if any of it is worth ebaying but lmk!





thx

(ik that brown looking one is a hawk and i doubt thas vintage but im just wondering!!)

[Re~Mix]

I suggest cleaning everything up so it looks in better condition. A lot of RC'ers collect old models and will pay a lot for them.

well of course id clean it up but i dont want to put something on ebay thats not worth anything uk?

i mean i dont wanna get no 5000 dollars for the truck... 50 bucks would be cool with me!!

might justput everything up as a whole

[Re~Mix]

I'd put the rc10 up seperately at least. You should be able to get a decent amount of money.

thas the orange one right?

i got most of the parts at my house so ill try and put it back together.


o and your sig doesnt work.

That one with the orange tub chassis is an old RC10. That will draw a few bucks Im sure. Thats a classic! The other stuff???????

[t-maxxracer32]

The suspension of the bottom car in the second pic looks interesting...

A gold tub rc10 is worht a few bucks, but I don't know about the one you have... it's not even close to running condition. There's a ton of old rc10s like this. A mint condition is worht 100's and a new-in-box original is well over 1000 bucks. A buddy of mine has one still in shrink.

Those are some cool old chassis though... the one with the trailing arm rear suspension I think is a J&L conversion. I can't remember who did the shallow pan tub.

IMO the best bet is to clean em up good and list them all at the same time on ebay. Someone might want all of it... for restoring and parts.

Cool old stuff, imo. If I didn't have all the conversion projects already, I would be collecting a few old r/cs... I want an old kyosho javelin...

[t-maxxracer32]

dont know what that is... lol

im going to try and get the rc10 running. i got most the parts just dont really know where everything goes lol...

why is it worth so much? is it even nice?

[glassdoctor]

I meant to say that what you have is NOT mint condition. It's been used... it's not a closet or shelf queen.

It needs to be like new... an unpainted body... unused tires, etc make it worth $$

no idea what these are worth... wild guess is 50-100 as is on ebay. But it's been a couple years at least since I looked on ebay at this stuff.

[t-maxxracer32]

well i wouldnt midn getting 50 bucks. thats good with me!!

should i sell the rc10 by itself then sell everything elsein bulk?

heres some more pics letme know what i should start the auctions at!

also got some rims and tires for the rc10... lol

Thats an old Alec & Lane trailing arm set up. they were impressive in their day. It was created because of Losi's 5 link suspension. Just curious, how many of you have been around long enough to have seen an old Losi? For those interested, the gray tub is a nitro hawk, the blue engine goes with it

yai knewabout that hawk stuff i just wasnt sure about te other stuff

yeah... I said J&L... meant A&L :D

I still have some old losi 5 links around from the one I had. That was a pretty cool car.
