Nice collection you have. I too have a 90s Nitro stampede. How often do you drive these?

My Nitro Stampede has a tan chassis, and I bought it around 2014 for $50. I also have a first gen tmaxx .15. After those I'm 03 and prior.

Nitro stampede is probably my favorite nitro rc I have. From what I know first gen nitro stampede had regular 15 engine, silver head, but they sold only until June 1996. After that it came with tan chassis and unpainted body, that's the one I have, and I believe in 1997 or 1998 the switch to blue chassis and pre painted body.

Tmaxx with pro 15 was sold between 1999 and 2002.

I have about 12 to 15 tanks on mine but front bearing started to leak, so will have to change them
 
I was thinking the same on the maxx also and seems I got the same nitro stampede as you. Mine had same tires but white dish wheels. A few months ago, I thought about buying a traxxas .12 off ebay for the stampede but never did.

Yes, probably the same. I believe 1997 and older models have tan chassis, and this days are relatively rare. I also have nitro rustler with tan chassis. Thunder king I drove once, I am not sure if I adjusted esc end point correctly. It's a vintage novak esc. Maybe I take it once or twice again, but it will be a shelf queen. Didn't have a chance to run rc10t but will take it out soon, it needs some minor work, 2 screws are missing
 
Oldest car I own is the 2017 arrma fazon 6s
The Car that has been in my collection longest is the v3 talion 6s.
 
Very jealous of your Thunder King, built one with my pops in '93. REALLY wish I had kept it, thanks for sharing.

Oh yes, it's awesome and so ahead of it's time. 2 steering servos, dual motor, significantly bigger than typical 10 scale
 
The ol goldpan is prolly the oldest kit I have. Check out the vintage Tekin Command 10 ESC :)

Nice restorations. Nicely done on that nitro stampede. I live vintage RC's. I have quite a few vintage RC's. That are getting restorations done on them. I love working on the vintage RC's. It's all about the "hunt" for the parts. Once you find them buy them all haha. Or they will be gone for ever. I have a ton of extra parts. Love spare parts..It also brings me back to my childhood. It was always a good time back then hahaha... I don't ever want to grow up. Cause baby if I did I wouldn't be a true Toys R US kid 😉🤣🤣👍👍

Most of my cars/trucks are new. I basically got back into the hobby after 30 years, shopping for a vintage RC10 Gold Pan. Never bought the gold pan, but now have 9 new RC's. Still want that gold pan. LOL!

Yeah that gold pan A stamp is a rare find in mint condition. They are all over ebay.. mine was given to me from a guy I work with for free for helping him
 
Sickening.

What kind of tires do you have mounted? I have identical thread tires on my vintage rustler, just wider, 5rows thread. But doesn't say anything on the sidewall

I have a set of those for my RC10T on a full set of rims. I'll have to look and see if they have any labeling on them. I was running on asphalt a fair amount of time and hated destroying dirt tires.
