Not that many guys running electric offroad anymore

There is Niagara R/C Offroad near Wellandporthttp://www.niagararcoffroad.com/
They do have an electric buggy class,they won't mind, but not many guys running vintage stuff there....well except for me

..well it was an rc10 Graphite, and a JRX2

OldschoolRunner · 03-02-2005, 05:37 PM

Do you still have the RC10? I take it that something happened to it? Have you ever been there before? If you want to get together sometime to run the electric stuff just e-mail me at ironhorseman1340@hotmail.com and we will figure something out Ron We live pretty close by each other
Thanks
Jason

Oh ya I have all my r/c cars, except for my OptimaMid

only car I ever sold/traded. Yes I raced there a couple of times at the begining of last year. The track is more suited to 1/8 buggies though

Sounds good

OldschoolRunner · 03-03-2005, 02:27 PM

Ya there are some cool places out toward Copetown. What else do you have in the garage? (Running of Course!) Do you hav3e any plans for the RC 10?

Nice collection!

Over the years I have owned a lot but right now I have:

Tamiya: Modified
Falcon
Frog

Tamiya: Selling
Falcon
Falcon Chasis
Super Blackfoot NIB (still wrapped in plastic)

Like I said before it seems that I have had got or found a lot of Falcons over the past little while. Overall they suck stock if you don't modify them. They do have a lot of potential if you know how to make them bullet proof and the parts are pretty easy to get. I just sold a Mauri Shogun I had to a guy in Australia.

I only started back into the hobby over the last couple months. Over the years I guess I got into other things so the buggies took a back seat until I moved and went through some boxes.

Do you know about www.tamiyaclub.com I am a member there also.
What year did you get your first car and how old were you?

Ron_Prinzen · 03-06-2005, 08:24 PM

I got my first car at the Hobby Show in Burlington (@Nelson High School????) June 6th or 9th 1985!, yes I remember the date at when I got my first r/c car!!!...ok I found the receipt a few years ago

I got it from Booth's Hobbies which, a couple of years later, I ended up working there.

Yes I know the Tamiya Club....there are some people with some pretty wild collections!

OldschoolRunner · 03-07-2005, 04:48 PM

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Memories!

Ron,
I just picked up a another Frog from a guy last night. Totally complete. Even came in the original box!

I have to go and pick it up in Detroit on Friday. I got some friends down there so might as well kill two birds with one stone! Hope to run it this summer since my other one needs some serious work.
