What are they worth?

[CW_]

I used to keep rc cars as a teenager and raced them for a while, since then travelling, job, wife, kids etc.... all happened and it got forgotten about. I found my cars recently at my parents house, and now I have more time again I'd like to get back into it.

I currently have an original tamiya hotshot and one the first ever kyosho ultima. Are these worth anything, and roughly how much, and do people collect these "classic" cars. I want to start racing again really and maybe go for a nitro, so although these are fun they will be useless against a modern car and might help to fund a new one.

Thanks

These cars are collectable but all depending on condition. I wouldnt use them now and would advise buying something new, maybe a ready to run rc10 B4 which is cheap to run and maintain.

I would advise looking on these sites before selling and asking questions to get an idea on what they are worth

Also hope some guys from oople give their advice as well. Good luck.
