Does anyone run anything vintage ??

[Slick2500]

I have a Helion Invictus 10 MT. I doesn't run anymore because I ran it into a mailbox and broke the front control arm. Since the car is discontinued, parts are scarce. Now its in a box in a million pieces with no wheels and electronics...

This truck?

 

[Slick2500]

Very nice!
I have an original B2 also.
How is it with the brushless in it?

About like a VXL Bandit on 2s.

This truck?

Yes, but a different Esc and motor

You are in luck as that vehicle is actually made by FS Racing and FS Racing still makes that car. I know of a few places that sell parts for it. I'll see if I can find them both are out of China iirc though.

Duratrax evaders, they keep up with any modern rtr stadium truck sold here 25 years later. Don't show them run them.

That awesome! A Duratrax Evader ST Pro is what jump started my love affair with stadium trucks for the second time.
Definitely was a struggle to keep things (tranny) together with any type of power. I got there though... with the help of the Brushless Evader tranny.

RC10T3 is my "vintage", but I don't run it much as I'm afraid I won't find parts now. Thankfully I do still have 2 sets of spare wheels for it.

I just saw this on ebay. I know nothing about them. Just thought it was fitting for this thread.

So I just restored / upgraded an ole RC10T4. I put a newer brushless combo in it, fixed anything broke on it. And upgraded the front hubs and axles to have the bearing in the hub vs in the wheel like the original, by doing this also allows me to run the current hex wheels being made and not having to look for the old school wheels that have the bearing in them

Whats classified as vintage?
I've got an old Traxxas 1/10 Nitro sport but the .15 engine is cooked, so I'm not running it. I think mine is the 2001 or 2003 release but the og was released in 1997.

Not original tyres and body

Those are clean! Love em man!

You said the .15 was cooked previously... do you have an original sport .15 w/ single needle carb!??
Ill buy it, blown up or not if you've got the carb and head
I've been trying to locate an original sport .15 for a couple years now for a build.

I originally thought it was cooked but when i pulled it apart, the internals were in great condition. The piston and sleeve had plenty of compression.
I did find the exhaust pipe rubber was split and the carby tune was way out. I was inexperienced when I originally ran it. (still am )

So I cleaned it up, fitted new bearings and fitted it to the second NS build, the red one.
