My comment section is finally back! Over 2 years ago KZbin deleted and disabled all my comments for having my daughters in my videos

[@kennethjoseph9309]

I know I'm late, but I've just watched your videos today and I gotta say, you have a good looking RC you got there. For a retro RC it's really fast as lighting. My first RC my Dad brought me is a F650 Fastlane Super Crewzer Monster truck that not only goes on all terrain, I can also use it for fast races and the scale of the truck is 1:50 for that size its speed is average fast. Quick question for the RC10 if you were to race it in todays standards since newer rc can reach an greater speed, how would it compete?

[@theRCelement]

@@kennethjoseph9309 Thanks bro! I don’t think it would do well by todays standards. But It handles very well just running it around like in this video. They do have vintage races at some tracks. Pretty cool seining the old vintage buggies out there racing

[@kennethjoseph9309]

@@theRCelement if I may ask what was your first RC the Frog, Grasshopper, or the Hornet? I find these three buggies look similar in design.

[@johnnycash7803]

Why would having your girls on a video disable your comments.

[@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449]

It is so planted and stable. The hallmark of the RC-10!

[@boomerps2]

That RC buggy is the GOAT!! The OG RC10 with the gold chassis was the start of many people's RC addiction.

[@jnrivers]

Amazing. Brings back memories of racing at the local club back in the late 80's with my original 1984 RC10 with a bunch of Team Car upgrades. I remember Ni-Cad SCR batteries being all the rage, high frequency ESC's, hard anodized dampeners, 48 pitch gears, and trying to keep my damn ball bearing differential smooth after a few runs. Good times as a 80's/90's kid.

[@bobdroll6381]

My first and only hobby-grade RC car was the original release Kyosho Javelin...all the while I was OBSESSING over the RC-10, waiting and waiting and waiting for when it was time to hit up my parents for my next car. Then puberty hit and I forgot all about it. Well, 35 years later and I'm back! I'll probably get the Javelin...sigh.

[@benjaminjohnson3590]

Thats funny, when I was a kid I had (still have) the RC-10 and was obsessed with my cousin's Kyosho Turbo Optima....i'd still love one, but think i'd rather clean up and update what i've got. Guess I didn't appreciate what I had at the time like I should've....

[@johnniehobby]

The original RC10 is still a beast. In the hands of a capable driver it could still take out many of the newer gen buggies.

[@theRCelement]

It’s so awesome! I have four now. Such a classic and it runs so good on loose dirt with the rear motor setup. Unlike todays mid motor buggies

[@mojojoji5493]

This is literally s tier buggy’s I don’t doubt it at all

[@user-zt2zj6bf1s]

I have one that has been running on the same parts since 1984

[@MrChando1975]

Good to see the big old RC10 car. Remember when I was a boy wanted this car so bad. Good stuff

[@phillybrc]

This thing moves well! so damn cool. Is there a vid showing the electronics you chose?

[@theRCelement]

No I don’t think so. It’s just a cheap brushless system in there. Dialed back the throttle rates in my transmitter so it’s not full brushless power

[@phillybrc]

@@theRCelement Runs great and looks like fun

[@williamwallace9427]

What an icon.. and runs beautifully! Thanks for actually driving it and not just leaving it on a shelf

[@raymondmorrison9611]

I owned several of them. Made so many customized upgrades. Loved it

[@theRCelement]

The most iconic RC ever IMO

[@stevebates3573]

Great video. I just dug my rc10 out that my mom had gotten me in 1985 and reading rc10talk . What's old is new threads 🤔. Going to start with the stealth transmission install 6564 can't find the better 6565 but all metal gears and drill stealth mounting holes as it's an A stamp pan. Should be able to handle 2s 10.5t brushless 🤔

[@afraid2crashrc]

So can a 6gear if you use the newer black idler gears or a steel print from shapeways. Edit: I hope that A stamp chassis was already beat and hacked up before you went drilling holes in it!

[@J1Z06]

Mine has been collecting dust for years! Along with My Yokomo 4WD and My Kyosho Optima. I'll definitely resurrect My RC-10 to be "controllable" some of the new cars are insanely quick! Great video! Your car hauls!!

[@ajzarb]

What was set up he used?

[@ShawshankCryptoRedemption]

I owned one w bearing kit 179,00 in 1989 they came out with the stealth tranny but then Team Losi had the Jrx pro special edition with neon yellow rims. that one was the best by far.

[@mikeprobst1839]

Its not 30 years old, u have new electronics in it.

[@joshuaroehl4704]

Everything older was just made better!

[@mikeprobst1839]

Except for rc cars.

[@roberttierney9284]

OK, you have a great car! Now you need to get a few Astroturf jumps and orange cones and get 3 or 4 guys over and have some fun. I have the cars and radios. All I'm missing is the area for a track. Isn't that just a bummer?

[@phillybrc]

Wicked video of this animal.

[@tomkruze2749]

Flat out! That is much Faster then my stock original. Wow! I should go Brushless!

[@benjaminjohnson3590]

Making me wanna get my gold pan out and convert to brushless.....that thing goes!

[@christopherdeguzman1137]

To me, I would just put a brushed motor super stock motor. I’m running a reedy stock, HW 1060 esc and a 2s lipo. I have that setup in my goldpan, b2 and b4. Brushless are cool, but I stand with brushed motors on older cars. Many of my Tamiya’s and my gold pan, B2, B4 along with my Kyosho monster trucks and Optimas I use brushed super stock motors. You can plenty of fun on a brushed motors. Maybe slower, but still have a lot of fun. Using that brushless system may wear out your tranny in no time unless you have a spare tranny or maybe a stealth tranny. Great run on the rc10 though!

[@theRCelement]

Yeah man, I went back to brushed on this buggy for awhile. But recently went back to brushless again. I dial back the throttle rates to 60% in my dx5 rugged. Runs pretty good. Also, I put the tougher black delrin plastic idler gears in there .

[@ErSlickVic]

Such a cool car

[@elic.2443]

I just found mine now I really want to restore it!

[@jaysalter9202]

It's all fun till you lose a dog bone 😅😅

[@bobbydirtamiyer2151]

Yep, if you run it on a 2s lipo....You will def strip the gears...You know how I know? Because that's what I did! Lol, I'm so disappointed. 😩

[@Knamkceh]

what gearing?

[@theRCelement]

I believe it’s the stock spur gear. Can’t remember the pinion I put in there. I will have to check. It also has the more durable black delrin plastic idler gears

[@brianbunner3669]

😎👍 I love it I know I have one in my parents' basement stuff from 25-30 years ago I'm going to have to get it back out I just got started this year in February and I already own a KRATON EXB ROLLER roller and notorious 6s the Typhon 6s and a limitless roller that I'm putting together now while watching your video ❤️ last Saturday I just got done putting together a b6.3D with a lay down transmission 👍😁 do you have the room to add a cooling fans and a fan associated fan for life

[@theRCelement]

Dude that’s awesome! Those EXB rollers are sweet man. Yeah the gold pan is such a classic. There should be room to put a small fan in there
