Finally a camera! (pics inside) Including mystery buggy

[lykan]

Well, I only have the XTM so far as nitro goes. But I thought I'd take a pic to show you my ride at least.

I also FINALLY got a decent picture of the mystery buggy. So those who helped me can take a look without trying to google eye through the blur.

Lykan on your mystery buggy, I know I could be dead wrong here but that looks like a vintage RC10 of some sort. Could be somthing Kyosho too since the gold shock caps. I stil vote RC 10

 

[lykan]

I think It's a RC 10TQ I'm just about 100% positive

 

[jon2]

I had the RC10 and saw the RC10 TQ. the change was the lighter chassis not tub anymore.

 

[lykan]

So do you think it's a TQ lol.. I can get a good pic of the chassis if you need me to.

 

[newnitrofan]

The give away for me was the white shock tower and the tires honestly. It was all a guess for me though. By the way that XTM truck looks nice. Think you should do a review on it since not a whole bunch of people here have one and you just got that new fuel and it now runs well. I'm interested in hearing.

 

[jon2]

it looks like there parts that were dyed. I dyed my car to be a big orange and red look. It was cool with the flame thing on the body . Lets see the chassis. the shock towers are a bit odd. ..RED? hmmm. I wish I kept mine but I got a mini cooper and dropped all the electrics in it. I got the austin powers look.. lol

 

[lykan]

Hheheh A mini , is it a fun one?

Here's some clear pics for you.

Ywah I am pretty sure that this a RC10TQ. That was the model that was popular for a while till the YZ10 came along. its competition was the Ultima and the JRx2. The original
Championship edition" was what I had.

Yeah the Mini was cool . I got a cop to clock me and my top speed was 32. Man that was quick for me. I had a TEKIN speed control that I hooked a fast motor to. it. Couldn't tell you what it was anymore. I traded it for a Team losi XXT-CR that I ended up selling a year ago.

 

[lykan]

Fun stuff. These electrics are great I charge up three batteries, and it keeps the boys busy until I get the nitro fired up and tuned for conditions

Soon my boys are going to tune themselves, after I figure out whats going oon first of course

 

[jon2]

LOL my kid is 3 and I am wondering which I should start him off on. He likes my MGT too much so that gets me wondering.

 

[rptorman]

Shocks, shock towers and motor mount guard and tranny look like RC10 to me. Just might be a TQ.:dumb:

RC10 front & back end including the wheels, i have the same shocks in my 1990 2wd electric Traxxas Hawk, the chassis and the shock towers look like optional parts and the body is also RC10.

 

[StaticSag]

I have 2 of those same buggies and these guys are correct....100% AE RC10....circa 1987....the TQ's nose was shaped a little different and the front of the chassis curved up more to protect it......

[SilentHunterKellen]

Man its funny how the rear suspension has changed soo much, but the front shock towers look somewhat new age.

 

[Team 17]

Definitly the RC10 with the lighter chassis. You can see the same parts on my RC10 in my pics on the other thread.

 

[lykan]

Ok , now that you guys have helped me with this, how about this?

Anyone know what the dial does? The one on the Traxxas charger

 

[jon2]

Looks like that allows you to choose the Amp rate for charging. Wow looks as old as my old Panda charger I got when I was racing my old RC10!!!

 

[lykan]

The power box is Really old and home mdae It's nice to have. That dial tho. I wish I knew what it was all about.
