After looking at my LRP Ai pro brushless box these guys are on the
cover: David Sprashett, Matt Francis, Ronald Volker, and Cliff Lett. Wasnt Matt with Losi? Losi has a chassis named after him, or did anyhow. And how many championships has the rc10 chassis won? This is my favorite car of all time, I should know because I own one.:thumbsup: |

Best car..
Hi guy's, i would say Yokomo 870c is the best car of it's time and still is competive. And is simple in design. i love it..:wub
|
Well I think that in reality the best car of all time has got to be the very first, just think that without it we may not be at the same point in this hobby. The first started the ball rolling, and since then every new car that has been released has been a step in the right direction.

Favorite RC
:confused:
Well in 1985 I collected my first Turbo Optima. It had the Gold Shocks! It was so much more advanced than my Plastic Tamiya Grasshopper . It was built like a tank also!My Tamiya grasshopper was all plastic!:thumbdown: I won many raced in SoCal with other people that took this sport seriously amd raced their RC 10s. I was the outsider!:confused: Kyosho was serious about racing and they kept re-engineering the car into the Mid-then Lazer!:lol: Parts were generally hard to find, but the Optima was well made. Thank You |

I remember racing a swb turbo mid optima , i loved that car it just looked right and went round corners nicely and was pretty responsive.
I allways wanted to buy loads of carbon fibre for it , however i couldnt afford it back then. My Tomy intruder was an interesting car , it was actually pretty competitive , in the hands of Jimmy Hamilton it did really well up here in Scotland. The lazer mk1 was a nice car , felt heavy and the bodyshell wasnt the most attractive. I got a very early one from Elite models , the manual was japanese but the clarity of the pictures were well printed and i had no trouble working out what went where.:) |
anyone remember the kyosho scorpion it must of being around 1980 the first 2wd competition electric race car
and also the bolink digger all grp construction |
i remember the scorpion tomahawk gallop progress
had gallop what a pile of c--p no good in straight line but would bite its own gear box on corners ie fourwheel steering:cry: |

Wha...??? What about the Traxxas TRX I think it was called; mid-nineties it combined the best bits of the Cougar 2 Team and the RC10 Team....that said, I used to race a C2T in the wet/mud and the RC10 in the dry/dust, it was the only way I could beat the Traxxas drivers.... And not a single mention of the PB Maxima or PB Ace!!! |
870c, jrx2. + the first moulded chassis was the junior 2 or was it the pro se not the xx
