Nice sprint. That chassis is pretty slick

[N2MYE30]

This is my old and current stash. Turbo Optima, Optima Mid, Team Losi buggy (new), and other bits. Is there any worth to these cars? Im thinking of eBaying this stuff.

RC's were my firs car love and tapped into my gear head side at a young age. My first buggy was a gateway and I was always lukewarm about cars until i got my first e30 and then the RC desires to modify and go faster went full size!

I still have all my cars but they haven't been used in a while. I was super into the various Associated RC10 chassis. My first and still favorite is an RC10 B3 buggy when our local track closed I used to build tracks in the sand in front of my house and wet them down with the hose or race my friends nitro HPI touring cars with street tires and tall gearing. Then came an electric TC3 with a 10 turn motor that screamed in its day ~50mph ten years ago was the ish the thing would pull massive power drifts. a RC10 GT that I mounted sand paddles and lit rooster tails down the beach with, Also ended up with an E-Maxx and a T-Maxx monster trucks to bash around as they didn't necessitate me building a smooth tracks and I could power over anything. And finally a 1/8 scale Serpent Vector road car that did nearly 80 and was waaaaay too fast for the small parking lot I used to run in.

B3 this car is where car modding started


TC3. My aunt has the real Vovo s60 before I was old enough to drive so I replicated it,


The trucks: They are all for sale! The Traxxas trucks are great entries into the hobby and are great for bashing around and come with everything including radio but batteries and charger e-maxx or fuel t-maxx. I'll take e30 parts/wheels in trade or a Lipo/brushless setup for my b3/tc3


RC10 GT $175. This thing has all the must have race hop ups including titanium turnbuckles metal main gears, RPM plastics and a new OS .12 1 hp+ race motor. This thing is fully modded for durability and longevity as the previous owner used to race hour long A mains.


Emaxx $200


Original Tmaxx $200 Barely broken in I didn't even paint the body yet.


Serpent vector $125 (needs some mechanical TLC) with OFNA .21 Motor

Finally got the steering working on the tmaxx.

Took it out for a bash and had to share these two pictures.

Man totally forgot about this thread. Not much new.

Totally wrecked the skyline, but rolling gangsta on some fresh rs watanabes. Lol

[E30_Pare]

Got around to making a fresh m3. Inspiration was "what if jdm m3?"

Pop out windows, my attempt at starter tails, rs watanabe, gt style mirrors. Paint is was supposed to be a purple pearl. Sprayed to much pearl now it's a color shift between green, silver, & purple

[Vtec?lol]

Anybody got a spare radio and reciever?

My current setup is a RC10GT with carbon fiber supports and aluminum arms.

I had me a tamiya super hornet, i swear that thing was clocking at least 25+ mph. i should go dig around for it.

I remember one time where the mechanical speed controller got a pebble stuck in it and was jammed wide open. thing took off and tracked straight into a curb.

been through a couple here and there.

late 80's Tamiya Super Hornet
90's Traxxas Rustler
90's Traxxas 4-Tec
Mid 2000's Losi XXX-T
First Gen Losi 8
Mid 90's XX-4 (stolen)
Tamiya TT-01D
First Gen Associated SC-10


Raced the XXX-T, SC-1, XX-4 and lightly tracked the 8. SC-1 would win me trophies, XXX-T was just outclassed because guys were all decked out with their factory team stuff. Taking all the finesse and skill from that and jumping into spec short course truck helped out alot.

Got rid of most of it when I hit college, probably a good 4k+ of plastic that just collected dust.

TT-01 D is in pieces, I should slap that back together and just give the road car guys a run for their money. XXX-T I gave to a friend so he could do some club racing, and the LOSI 8ight i gave to my neighbor's kid for his birthday.

The kid's dad bought him one of those Nova Rossi .21B spec engines, had me break in/tune it roughly 4 years ago now. Still runs to this day.

One of my favorite paint jobs for a friend:

[Exodus_2pt0]

Looking to trade out my Losi 22 and 22T's for a e-maxx or E-revo + a little bit of cash.

22 has a velineon setup, 22t is running a Castle, both brushless. Let me know if anyone is interested. No radio's, otherwise complete.

I just don't feel like spending $20 per day at the local track. It's bashing time.
