Vintage rc cars

[rchippie]

I would like to see everyone's vintage rc cars. I have a TAMIA FALCON. I got the car for cristmas in 84 or 85 .

I have an RC10GT with a tub chassis. Not sure if it is considered vintage, but it is old .

I have one of the first HPI RS4's made. I pre-ordered it before they even came out. I will have to see if I can find some pics (or take some) later.

Don't get me started, I got from traxxas; TRX1 TRX3 (Rick Vhelow prototype) Blue eagle LS-2 SRT, From Kyosho a Javelin and a KX-One touring car, From Team Losi a JRX-T and a JR-t

Hey does it count if you don't have the truck anymore?



I got it for (I think) my 7th birthday back in 1992, maybe earlier. I had it up until 2003 when it was sold at a yard sale without my knowledge. It still ran perfectly.

I didn't even have a chance to make it brushless!!!

There is no tie rods on the car, thats why the wheels are like that. If you guys notice the car has rear trailing arms , & not out the side like todays cars. My dad bought me this car for cristmas when i was a young lad, so i'll never get rid of it.

I have a traxxas sledgehammer!

[BrianG]

That sledgehammer looks like a boat with wheels! Does it float? Lol, j/k.

I love the sledgehammer,i use to have one. I think the sledgehammer was replaced by the stampede. Does anyone else have a 80's or early 90's vintage rc ?.

I had, when I joined this forum, (and thus my name since I couldn't think of anything else at the time) a Kyosho Optima Mid still working from 1985.

I have since let it go when I moved recently and regret it almost everyday since it was the first car I built.

I was looking for parts to fix my falcon, & i found them on ebay UK. They should cost around $75.00 US plus shipping.
