First off. Thnx for nice welcome. Looks like a good all around forum for info and fun. Thought id share some of my RCing over the years. I’ll give some info on what I can remember. I think I forgot more. Here is a group of older cars I had

What platform is that? Looks like rustler or jato wheels/tires. Looks good

I worked at a finishing company painting automotive parts so painting RC bodies is what I like most about RC.

Very nice stuff. I have done a fair amount of painting over the years. I like it, and I hate it. I can't do just a simple paintjob half the time, and I hate masking. But I do like the finished results.

Absolutely stunning. Totally jealous of your long out of production vintage items.

Is speed channel/ speed vision still there? I watched it way back when.

No speed channel around that I’m aware of
Last found of bodies. Cold day here so I’m stuck inside.

I think the motorcycle is still out there. Not sure about all the hop ups. That blade drone was so big I had to get an FFA to fly it. I’m sure you still have to do that now days. The Recoil is still a good drifter against other cars of today.
Oops last one. This is painted up to match my real truck. The reason I’m back in RC now. The Kyosho 66 Chevy truck gonna fix up like the real one. I guess u never get out of RC. Lol

Lots of cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

 

[gragner66]

Just keep finding more as look through all the boxes. Her are some car stands I’ve done too. I should have never bought this Kyosho truck. lol.

Those are some good-looking bodies.

Most 20 year old bodies do. Then the 30s hit.

That's some great paint work. Love the general Lee. Is the flag on the roof paint or a decal? I have a slash body I've been wanting to do general Lee themed but I'm having trouble finding the confederate flag decal and my painting skills aren't good enough to spray one.

I printed that on a white backed decal sheet with my printer. Attached it with XXX Main picture glue. And backed that up with white paint inside the body. After 12 years or so it’s starting to crack and shrink some. Utube search budget RC. Google mci racing decals. And eBay 1/10 RC general Lee grapchics There’s a lot general Lee stuff out there especially with Kyosho having that charger body. I even did a hot wheels version
