A few memories - back in the 80's we matched our batteries... a lost art. Then companies started matching them when they learned how important it was. When the RC10 came along, offroad racing really picked up and matched NiCads were a big deal. We used the Reedy motors for modified racing and usually a handout motor for stock class. Then for pan cars we used wintergreen oil for traction compound. Eventually companies started canning it for resale, (I used Trinity because it was a little better than food grade wintergreen oil).... you always knew a guy who raced carpet because his stuff always smelled like wintergreen.... Do you remember when "radial" tires came out? (capped tires - TRC brand) .. They even had stagger... remember tire stagger in the pre radial days of NASCAR? ...they originally only had a band around the tread area, then they became a foam tire fully wrapped in a rubber compound... green dot, red dot, yellow dot to indicate the softness of the rubber... they seemed to cost a lot back then and wore out quick, but if you wanted to race on the concrete and asphalt ovals you had to have them.... that was when NASCAR was HUGE !!.. it's nothing nowadays compared to the Dale Earnhardt - Bill Elliot era !! I wish it would come back, but I think the management of NASCAR has ruined it ! I would love to race RC on those oval like we did back then, that was so much fun ... like Lake Whipoorwill in FL and Dalton Raceway in GA and the Thunderdrome in CA....Jasper Superspeedway in TN .. there were some great ones back then !!
Wow! Yeah you go WAY back in the hobby! The most on-road I did back then was a little carpet 1/12 racing. I had a Corally SP12. I can smell Paragon traction compound just by talking about it!! Great story man! Thanks for watching!
@@vintagerctour5302 I started as young teen in 1978 with my much older brother. I had a 1/8 on road nitro AE pan car then. We lived in AZ. My first offroader was a Tamiya Champ... it sucked actually. When I was sent to Sand Diego for extended Joint Force Exercises with the Navy, I was AF, we got held up with torrential rain and decided to go watch an RC offroad race near Miramar marine base that we were using for our base for the exercises. The RC10 was brand new and I just made 1st leuy so I decided to blow my raise on one...$300 + for everything I needed .. that was quite a chunk of change back then !! I spent all night building it so I could race it then the rain stopped and we had to fly !! DANG !! but over the next few years I had the chance to race it quite a bit and also an RC10L pan car ... I had the wide for road course and the narrow for oval. I have been all over the country because of my AF job. I always managed to find a way to bring it with me when we were on exercises if I would be somewhere that was hosting a race.
Super cool!! I'm actually in the process of doing a full teardown and rebuild of my vintage Tamiya Frog. I just completed my 87 Clodbuster build and the frog is the last one to do out of my small but growing collection of vintage rc. Like you, I've been into the hobby since the mid 80's and have had nearly everything at one point or another.
New sub.. Seeing this makes me happy, conjuring up great memories and as a reminder to finish some 30 year old projects (Clod, YZ-10, King Cab/Hi-Lux etc). Also getting back into racing this year 🤑
Just found your channel not long ago. Love your collection, i too love vintage losi and vintage in general. I have quite a few but nothing like yours. Absolutely love it
I'm just getting back into these older cars, and you mentioned learning to build them or go thru them is not as well learned as I remember. I'd ask for tips, but common sence moved in, take time, and the love I have for these will take me thru great builds. Very cool to see a awesome collection you have their thanks😁👍👊
Thanks for the comments! It's really addicting gathering the cars and parts to re-assemble the kits we loved from 30+ years ago! Join the "Vintage Losi" forum on FB- there is a ton of great help and resources there!
Fantastic collection - wow, what a great room! Subscribed! My current restoration projects are a Losi LXT, Tamiya Monster Beetle, Tamiya Sand Rover and a Tamiya Dual Hunter :-)
I just subscribed,this is the first video of yours that I have watched and you got my full attention.I have been in this hobby since around 84 and still going strong.Thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing sir great collection. I’m gonna pay homage to you on a Tamiya hilux Restor with a pistol grip futaba Radio probably gonna be twitchy one.
Omg I had the same truck!!! 0:35 so many good memories with that truck!! Also had the #BLACKFOOT but damn that truck any lil crash and your done for the day lol
Great collection,love 80s Tamiya. Looking to start a small collection of 5 cars. Which 5 would you have?. I was thinking of : 1.The Grasshopper 2.The Hornet 3.The Frog 4.The Hotshot 5.Bigwig
Thanks for your post! The early 2wd Tamiya kits never really did anything for me. Love their early 4wd stuff tho. The Avante is one of my favorite RC cars of ALL time!!
I am looking for a king Blackfoot RC truck do you have one of those that you would want to sell or any parts for that truck please comment back thank you very much
, your videos on in background , I kept hearing my favorite cars I regret getting rid of like Optima mid than you said stompers exactly how I got started I'd make my own from things I took apart than you had my actual first car couldn't think of name nikko Ferrari I was so mad I got that instead of big dunebuggy my friend got still alot fun and what got me started soon after we got into hobby grade blackfoit than traxxas bullet which was a kit I believe and replica of Ta you said was hard to build? I'm into the arrmas now and ironic traxxas sued them when we can remember them doing same thing enjoyed thanks even know old I still sub 😎😎😎😎🙂born 76 ? Me2
Very cool chuck beautiful collection I got a big collection myself probably about 300 vintage rc looking for some rc10 mip 410 legend 4wd parts if u or anyone has any to sell or trade let me know 😊ps I got lots of losi stuff to trade lol
You bet. Losi had their own plastic, telescoping driveshafts. Tamiya, kyosho and Associated were big on the floating dogbones. MIP then hit the scene in the mid 80's offering CVD's for all makes.

Thanks for sharing your story! Sounds like we're brothers!
I remember the optima mid turbo as well!
Nice! You can add my rc10 a-b stamp to your collection. She's for sale.
How do keep from developing flat-spots on your tires?
Go around to each car individually and rotate the tires every few weeks or so? Lol
Do you have any trucks like a king Blackfoot RC truck please comment back thank you
No I don't.
@@vintagerctour5302 OK thank you for getting back with me I am looking high in low for one of these trucks
Any new videos
Out of all those cars, only one Optima Mid.
Very cool chuck beautiful collection I got a big collection myself probably about 300 vintage rc looking for some rc10 mip 410 legend 4wd parts if u or anyone has any to sell or trade let me know 😊ps I got lots of losi stuff to trade lol
I have a chance to get a losi JrxT is it worth getting?
John Bess i have one they're a really cool truck im picking up an xxt tommorow
Just that look of the JrxT, mean little ripper their..
Just posted a Vintage kyosho wild Dodge Ram for sale on eBay if anyone’s interested
do the 80s trucks use drive shafts?
You bet. Losi had their own plastic, telescoping driveshafts. Tamiya, kyosho and Associated were big on the floating dogbones. MIP then hit the scene in the mid 80's offering CVD's for all makes.
Very nice! check out some of my videos I am sure you will like em!
Hi mate
I love rc cars but I don’t have any money to buy them, only for food.
Is possible you send me one to my address in Portugal? Please
Thanks
did someone wake you up from a nap?
Great collection, check out my rc collection!👍
That’s an outstanding collection you have
