#84768 I was when i was a kid and in my early to late teens....though kinda lost the controllers everytime which sucked but yea im still into them not as much but still into them. I read up on them every now n then. godda love what people are able to do with them i mean they are seriously like a mini car that is just a little harder to drive since you arent behind the wheel your just watching it. But yea looks like a sweet body wonder if they make the old battle wagon style like the #16 Motul Mugen Civic hatch now thatd be unique and sweet.....

Truely though id like to get back into the hobby it is kinda expensive thats why i stick with model cars 1:24 lol hurray for car stuff because without it we wouldnt be car nuts now would we....

As hobbies come, it's pretty cheap.

I just have a little XMODS RSX that I've hotted up with some parts from atomicmods.com (little RC plug there).

I also have an EG model I'm working on at the moment. It's the SiRII from Hasegawa models, I'm sure you've seen some around eBay. Still haven't found a diecast. That would be really sweet.

#84966 I think the people who know alot bout these should post up sites and places to get chassis wheels and body shells if they know where to get them.

#84977 I've got 3 cars from waaay back in the day. I think I got the RC10 in the late 80's for xmas one year.

Then my dad bought himself one because it was so much fun.

I was running them at Regan Park track in Medina with some friends like 7-8 years ago and somebody was like "Hey you know those are vintage?" So I quit beating them up lol. The other one is a not-as-vintage road car that is fast as hell if I could just control it.

carbon fiber w00t. The saleen body was bought around 2000 because the original one had seen better days.

with the original and abused body
Image

lots of spare parts:

I think I drove them once or twice since 2000, but just don't have the time anymore. If I had free time, it would be toward the top of my list of things to do - fun as hell!
