Vintage overload...error, program debug unavailable, shutting down...


That's a serious "fleet" of cars, first I thought it would just be RC10 galore, but there are plenty other too. You might even have more cars than Dan "no honey, I didn't get that vintage car for myself, I am just looking after it for someone else" Rowlands. :D

[Peakey]

Hey David!!! Nice to see you and your epic collection here pal :thumbsup: I'm gonna steel that paint job from your Cougar 2k just so you know :lol: and is that XL not a SWB?

[Welshy40]

Wow, RC10 overload and superb seeing as it brings back so many memories. Also wish id kept my PB Ace now.

Ive already done a post earlier on but got another to add, just need the original wing buttons and a paint job to make it an identical replica of the masters winning car of 91.

[Asso_man!]

Hey Justin good to see you here! Always been a lurker here not really sure why... Feel free to steal that paint job mate, no biggie and let me know if you need other shots of the shell. It is an early XL indeed with the grey bumper, all original.

[wildwillydriver]

Hi all i'm Paul and this is my first post. I have a coupe of Tamiya's, and today had the incredible luck of purchasing a Mardave Meteor with instructions, radio controler for the grand sum of £20 from my local tip!!! The car is in original brilliant condition, all electrics and even the little man are present. However i've tried charging it and cant get any life out of it, anyone got any suggestions please? and also any idea of its value?

[Steve.T]

Suggest you post some pics showing everything you bought

[timmy]

Recently finished. Suzuki hubs all round(one ways on the front), new wheels and tyres, copper springs all round topped off with a repro body and new repro wing from JC Racing.

[timmy]

Recently finished. Bushings replaced with bearings throughout, Kose driveshafts (useless for running but the colour matches the plastics :lol:) and to top it off a new original body. Will stay unpainted so as not to hide that great chassis!

Hi everyone,
it is great seeing such an active vintage thread!! Here are some pics of my restored 1:8 vintage Kyosho buggies (one pic per car). There are many more pictures on my flickr account, just click a link below one of the pictures.

With the exception of the Burns DX 4WD which I have had since I was in my late teens, all cars were bought in various conditions over the past 2-3 years and restored almost always to full factory spec or with period correct Kyosho, optional parts. With the exception of the two brushless conversions and one Turbo Inferno runner (not pictured), they are all shelf queens.

If anyone has any questions about restoring one of these or if you are looking for parts just let me know.

It's great that you guys are helping to preserve these old cars. Looking forward to seeing more of them soon!

Current collection:
1x Burns 2WD
1x Burns 4WD DX (which I have had since I was a teenager)
1x Burns 4WD DX (Brushless)
1x Turbo Burns
1x Turbo Burns (Brushless, full option)
1x USA-1 Nitro Crusher
1x Classic Inferno
1x Inferno DX
1x Inferno DXII
1x Turbo Inferno (factory setup and now fitted with full option parts)
1x Turbo Inferno (runner, no picture yet)
1x Inferno MP5 (full option)
1x Esprit 20 (not yet complete no picture yet)

Nice, look like my tubs on your tomy :thumbsup:

[JamieB76]

Welshy, tell me more if you can? I have noticed previously on this forum and others you talk about the design of the Lazer tub chassis. The holes on this one match the Intruder so I assumed that is what it was msde for. Am I correct or should this be for a Lazer?

Interested to hear more please.

Thanks

Jamie

[HKS_TRD]

The carbon tub should indeed be for a Lazer, would you consider selling it?

[JamieB76]

Dilemma.

Firstly I have been asked previously if I would sell and promised that person if I ever did to contact them. Unfortunately I'm more of a buyer hoarder type than a seller but will keep you in mind if I ever did and the other person decided to purchase it.

So, the dilemma, I have a Lazer ZX which apparently has some ZXR bits. In all honesty I went through a phase recently of buying up cars and parts but really my interest is the Tomy Intruder plus variants, EX etc.

The tub chassis came with a load of parts I purchased, I believe the guy had run this chassis on a Tomy set up. Purely because has was Tomy mad like me. Obviously I could be well wrong but it just seems that's the way it is.

So do I build it up as a Tomy buggy or strip it back down and build it into a Lazer as it should be? :confused:

I think I am going to stick with the Tomy build, that way its probably pretty unique albeit incorrect in a way. Maybe if I had stuck with RC cars back in the day I would have built one like this back then.

I was going to sell my Lazer but will keep it now so at least I have the parts to build the chassis up correctly if my thought process changes.

I will post the finished build up in the next few weeks and you can all tell me what you think. I think it will look OK. Its something different.

Fair enough, I actually have one but yours looks in nicer condition and would be better to use for the shelter I am building with many rare vintage parts.
I do have other Lazer chassis too, original and carbon.
Out of curiosity could you take a pic of the underside?

Its plausible the chassis was for a lazer looking at your pictures, but the holes obviously were drilled to fit a tomy intruder, the mold for the tub chassis has no holes so once its been made by layers by hand its then put onto a cutting machine thats got a template cad design to follow so quite possible fibrelyte did this as per request. FYI if it says com com made it, then they bought from fibrelyte. Need to see the underside as well. Hope this makes sense.

Plausible :thumbsup: I'm not just saying this as I want it to have been intended for an Intruder, although I obviously do I honestly think it was. Only because the guy literally had loads of Tomy bits and seems to have loved the cars as much as me.

These pics were taken before I started the build. At first I didn't know what car is was for but then looked at the holes and they match the Tomy perfectly. Fibre-lyte stickers top and bottom were there when sent to me.

Happy to hear your thoughts?

Yup its a lazer zx tub chassis, just they added more material to the front and rear and redrilled. Quite chuffed on this if that was the case, or maybe a mold was made. Its possible its from my mold, unsure if fibrelyte told me about it but tbh it looks stunning so bang on.

[JamieB76]

Cool, that is good news. I should be able to find some time this week to add to the build and possibly finish minus a shell. I don't have complete new parts but it should look good enough.

Looks great! I got my new Topcat chassis yesterday so need to make a start on mine I think I've got about 90% of the parts nip :D

[dinglem]

Just dug out of the loft in the last month.....

'91 Works Yokomo, RC10 Graphite with full Yokomo Works suspension set-up, old school motor collection - lots of MG's in there, and a couple of cool Shimwa accessories :thumbsup:

[dinglem]

Did ok with that Yokomo :p

[fidspeed]

theres some history (and bad haircuts!)

are they coming out to play again ? or destined to live in the loft forever
come on get them where they belong out on the track

very nice pair of buggies well done for keeping them I sold all my originals in them days to keep up with latest offerings wish I could have afforded to keep them

mind I cant be greedy I currently have about a 100 cars messing my house up !

Dave

[dinglem]

Considering getting them going again, yes. I have a couple of RC10 builds on the go as I have an unused RC10 Graphite chassis to play with, plus i also have my original pair of Mids, a Yokomo 870c (which i ran before the Works '91), and I have also just tracked down my early CAT XL which i sold to a friend in the late 80's. Just trying to get my hands on it again....

Few other projects on the cards too. Only really getting back into this as a hobby in the last month or so, but I can see how easily i could get drawn back in.

[fidspeed]

think its a bit late don't ever think you have been out !! just away for a bit that's all

well done for keeping all that kit

dave

[dinglem]

Not ventured into looking at the new electrics side of things yet. Still enjoying looking at the old cars for the time being. We never chucked anything away so i've got loads of unused tyres and spares still in the bags. Amazing what has survived really.

[dinglem]

Here's a bit more.... RC10 chassis, A&L belt-drive transmission and matching A&L steering set up (pics don't show it very well but they're both a lurid lime green colour), Robinson Racing rear toe-in adjuster, and some really cool Raborn Racing deep-cut rear wishbones to house the Raborn telescopic RC10 rear drive shafts. The RC10 alloys in the above picture are made by T&A Precision.

[daz75]

Cue people pm'ing trying to buy it off you for peanuts like happened to me

Nice, I see my old team mate Mannie in mod, plus quite a few guys I raced against and Craig Harris and his lovely mum Sandra.

XK98, X10, X11.

Blimey, I remember when they first came out. I didn't know they'd done different versions of the Predator?

I wanted one SOOO badly. Then I saw one at a meeting and every time it touched something it was out of the race. I think it was the front arms that kept snapping as they were too thin/brittle? (I have it in my head that they designed them in a wind tunnel?). Was it just the early ones that were as resilient (or not?) as Daniel Sturridge?

Beautiful design.

[Stretch]

The later cars had significantly beefier section wishbones with strengthening webs.

**This is a test to try different methods of uploading pics, other than Photobucket** :lol:

[Welshy40]

Decided to add the slipper and one way plus tidied up the wiring and added two schotkey diodes. Only need the tie rods and paint my shell and its race ready done with all identical equipment (I did use Yok shocks) when I raced it for the two events.

RC10 tidied up wiring and added receiver plus added two schotkey diodes so now done to identical as when I raced it.

Bosscat added front oneway ujs, rear layshaft bearing silver alloy mounts, alloy rear ujs and now deanodising the eccentric bearing housings from blue to match the gearbox silver colour. Added esc, wired it up (only used stick packs as was only for 24 hr events). Awaiting receiver to be mounted and painted shell then almost done to how I had it, but still am after the alloy gearbox surround that sits around the motor, Ibelieve its the Procat one to finish it off.

[tyreman]

Where did you get the Tekin 410K speedos from??

[Welshy40]

Had some for ages, Kept the ones I got from my sponsor before the worlds warm ups after a nice discussion with the owner of Tekin, think ive now got five 410ks. Ive an esc for every car (Lazer ZXS, RC10B2, Yokomo YZ10 and Lazer ZXRR but a Tekin 410s for the ZX), basically putting everything i used in the exact car when I competed with them including motors, servos & receivers.

Hello All


My vintage collection is focused on a single car...


I have 3x 94 YZ10's (2x box art cars and the pink one)



I have 1x Pavidis WCS (the green car)


All cars have a TCS unit installed.



One of the box art cars has a lot of extra blue and carbon bits, the other is pretty stock and essentially mint.



The pink car is my brushless runner (10.5T Novak Ballistic with Edge ESC)..very fast.


The WCS car is my brushed runner (Novak Cyclone with Check Point 10.5T motor)


I figure that if I plan on running the YZ10 that I should have more than one so I picked up a few:)

[Dadio]

I just finished these , a pair of Ayk cars from the mid 1980's , an Ayk Sidewinder and an Ayk Bobcat, both cars were in superb condition and just needed new bodies, 30+ years of grime removing and new bearings ,even the gears were virtually perfect so neither car could have seen much use, i was even lucky enough to find a set of reproduction decal sets for them . I didn't really like the Sidewinder box art but i love the Bobcat box art so both go a variation of the Bobcat box art ,they are followed by the rest of the gang .

First one in my collection. Built in 1987 but never driven, came with Team Assiciated Stock Motor, mechanical speed controller and Futaba servos. Only thing that is missing is the box, so if anyone has one laying around, let me know. I took it apart to clean it and will shelf it when done. Now I'm looking for more cars to my collection, drivers preferred, as this really is too good for that.

[TomiS]

A little update on my collection, which is getting bigger. Got the body for goldpan and two new project cars.

Looking good dude, how’s the new body fit I’ve not had chance to do anything with mine yet

[Dadio]

It's a better fit than the TBG one , the TBG body fits inside this one ,slightly thinner lexan though and still a little narrow where the battery tray is so my modern 2s stick lipo's still rub the body , I guess I'll just use a shorty pack instead , the wing is just what I wanted though , I never really liked the other one that was a RPS replica , it was just too small for the original style doggy body .

It was worth the sacrifice then :lol: there’s another 834 body that a guy in Hong Kong which is like the SE body so I think I’ll have to get one of those too

[Dadio]

Is that the more boxy "Funco" body like the one Gill Lossi had on his Dogfighter when won the 1985 world's ? I almost got one of those instead so I'd have two different styles but I was always disappointed with my first doggy body , it was the first body I'd painted in 25+ years and I botched it plus it never fitted to my liking so this one has rectified that .

Similar to that funco one, I badgered Steve to pull that one he said it was fugly :lol: and the one you’ve got is a couple of a Mr Lexan one that I sent him. This is the one that Kelen is making along with the all alloy car.

You know it's strange how we all want different things , I had the all alloy front suspension and but wanted the stock plastic , I now have the plastic stock suspension and I'm thinking of building up a more expendable runner with the alloy parts , it never ends does it :D

Looks cool and hm hm HEAVEY....

[daz75]

Wow peaky is that all custom made?

[Dadio]

Blinkin flip mother but that would hurt if it hit your ankle , I'm not really sure what to make of it other than it's a fair bit of gob smacking work to make !
Impressive is what it is .
The gearboxes would sell like hot cakes on eBay especially if they included metal gears !

[Peakey]

He’s made it all and done a limited kit run of 50 all at $1000 each plus post. He is selling bits off but there all not cheap. I’ve got a guy working on a couple of bits like gearbox, rear arms, mounts and hubs but there being done as favours so it’s takimg some time which is ok.

[Dadio]

In this case the price is about right but too rich for my blood !

Here's a nostalgic trip back to my teens, this lot have been in storage since I stopped racing, brought back some great memories digging through all the bits and bobs again.

[daz75]

Got to love a good procat you've done well to keep all those

[djmcnz]

Agreed ^ there's some classics there and seem well preserved.

Nice..👍
What is that rear diff...?

[foampervert]

Nice..👍
What is that rear diff...?

It's a dremelled down m05/m06 stock gear diff. I used the internals from a tt01 (outdrives with flats instead of splines), as I stripped my stock ball diff at the splines and wanted something beefier.

You'll need to Dremel off the flanges on both sides of the diff case, and dress the gears (which might get a little distorted after dremelling), to fit the topforce/ta01/ta02 gearbox.

It works great, but it is not sealed, so I only grease it with some light lube.

If you're just building your topforce/mantaray, don't bother using a rear ball diff... It will strip so quickly you can't believe. The front ball diff seems a little less prone to strippage.

OK one of my vintage cars here and is one I'm up for parting with should someone want to part with £400. You'll never find another like this, plus comes with another unused test chassis.

Seems like some nice vintage cars there again.

I still have to finish my CAT XLS rebuild, stopped years ago when my mother died. Lost my father end of last year. Also spending most spare time with RC flying, which has been a dream from teenage time, but then the money and technology wasn't alllowing it.

[AC76]

Predator XK98, it has spent the past 20 years in my parents' garage, planning to do a full strip down, clean up and rebuild.

[Aire valley]

That looks very nice..!

[Dadio]

Thanks , once I had the idea for the body I couldn't resist but I was worried it might not work .

[Dadio]

I got a nice Samurai recently and could not resist running it so to save temptation I build this from some slightly rough parts I got in a job lot , its got a Kydex undertray to protect the delicate gearbox mounts on the chassis , I've run a piece of M3 studding right through both the top shock mounts to reinforce them , painted the scruffy chassis and designed and printed a front frame/body , also drew up and 3d printed the roll cage , nerf bars ,rear wing mount and wheels.

Always wanted one :lol:

[Aire valley]

Had a Bulldog when they first came out..!...loved the looks..!

[isobarik]

Those air shocks on the bulldog Does they work ??

[Dadio]

The air shocks do work ! When it arrived they were gummed up inside and not really working at all but they are not totally sealed , they have a grub screw that you can adjust the air bleed damping with so I removed the grub screw and fed 10w shock oil in then flushed it out , it was totally black filth that bled out ! :cry: so I repeated untill it was just grey filth then virtually clear :) now they work very smoothly . You can't adjust the spring but you can the damping , it's a fully sealed piston inside and it pumps air through a bleed hole as mentioned above , by adjusting the grub screw you can let more or less air flow through the bleed hole for more or less damping , I think people replaced them because of the lack of spring adjustment but I'm keeping them !
The whole car was kind of like the shocks when it arrived , polished on the outside but unserviceable under the skin the diffs were like gravel, every linkage on the steering was about to drop off and a lot of it was assembled wrong :cry:! It was a good price and it's only cost some diff balls ,lube , a few screws and nuts to set straight , now she's up and running :thumbsup:
