That was nitro stadium trucks in their infancy, before people paid attention to things like quality and porting. I wish i were doing a rc10 project, the chassis with the swingarm setup would make a good period racer.
Glassdoctor, I got a JRXT i got on EBay for a restoration project
Work because i gotta, play because i wanna
People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
:)
I wanted a Hotshot and Boomerang back in the day.
A couple years ago I wtche ebay a lot for Optima/Javelin and Ultima stuff. I passed up some nice stuff. Kinda wish I would have got one. There were some people paying a pretty penny.. collecting and restoring these.
The car that got me interested in the hobby was a Frog... kid at school had one wiht a hot motor and street tires. it was sweet, back then. He also had an Optima later.

I saw one of those Losi 5-link suspension trucks at my LHS once. It was in the used clean out bin they had. Some of the parts weren't on the truck but came with it. They ended up selling it for $20. Man oh man I wish I had bought it along with the Kyosho buggy they had.
Ah the Hotshot brings back memories. It's my first rc. Unfortunately, mom threw it away after I moved out during a period when I lost interest in the hobby. Luckily, she left my Optima Mid & Clodbuster alone. The Optima mid is a musuem piece now while the clod is still going strong serving as a basher for my 5 year old.
I had a madbull for my first proper RC- hardly vintage but the design is somewhat basic and old fashioned.... then I looked at those pics; antiques man. Yep, gather up all the rc10 bits and give 'em a clean, then flog that on ebay as one lot. As for the rest, gather them up and try to seperate them into different models, but sell them as one big lot. I reckons that sounds like a plan.
