SHOW US YOUR VINTAGE COLLECTION; NO PICTURES, NO BRAGGING RIGHTS!!!
 

I noticed that there is no "show us your..." thread in our Vintage Forum, so I guessed it would make sense to start our own.

I am more than sure that there are members here with vintage collections that would wake up dead people from their graves.

Can a moderator make this a sticky?!
This is the guts of what we do. (My pics coming as soon as a few cars are finished)

Plenty of pictures of about half of my collection here.

If you need pictures in this thread for bragging rights, below is a few samples.

Sh*t Terry, that's a massive collection.....

Wow, I really like your Hotshot with carbon fiber chassis!!

I currently still own a Scorcher chassis (currently still in bits) and another Dyna Storm which I run at vintage races. I have owned many more vintage vehicles (some of them are in my TamiyaClub showroom (link), many of them are not), but my vintage collecting is over for now. I don't run them due to either rarity or lack of electronics/money and time... so they're better off at the homes where they've gone to, and I had fun restoring and owning them :)

My precious Optima collection! Naked :lol: :thumbsup:

Oh no...
 

This was going to happen sometime I guess...all that testosterone...

My own version of the RC10 Timeline, they'll never be mint, like some of the others on here, but I'm happy :)

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h7...ps26e94ae3.jpg

Yes, some of them still need cleaning up and proper assembly!

Here's where i store my much reduced collection, an 8'x8' box room.

Most still need completed in some way. I might take a group shot one day, if i ever get some of them finished ;)

Your Optima pictures ARE SO GOOD!!! I actually borrowed them for my screen saver!!!

My vintage kyosho collection you can find below in the link.

Very nice collections guys!

I'm a long way behind many especially Terry but still have too many to post shots of each one, so I'll pick out what I consider to be my best models and if you like you can follow the link in my Sig to my TC show room for the rest.

I consider these three the best of my collection

Ohhhh my God.... I think I just crapped my pants!!!!
That RC10 is a killer!!!! What brand and where did you got those wheels???!!!

Amazing collection

I am starting to think that starting this thread was a bad idea.... This is just going to make things worst for my wallet and my wife is going to leave me!!!
I am like a woman in a shoe department store: "I want em' all!!!"

I was thinking the same thing! I was really proud of my crappy little Lazer collection.
Some of these models are insane!!! Gold wheels, whaaaat?! :o

Thank you for the kind comments, the wheel are made by JPS (a US company), you might see the odd set pop up on eBay from time to time but getting hold of then new from the manufacturer is pretty much a none starter these days.

My RC10 collection
 

RC10 Team car, RC10B2....

Not got that many decent images on my works laptop, but here's some of mine.. as you can see mainly Tamiya, bar the one Kyosho Gallop MkII in the centre. I have a Gallop MkI and a Progress too.

and a few more..
original Sand Scorcher with customised Blitzer Beetle shell. Hotshot/Supershot hybrid built up from parts, ThunderDragon, Terra Conqueror, Manta Ray and Top Force. Current projects are a Optima Mid Custom Special restoration and the other 'Egress', being assembled from a Vajra kit using Fibre-lyte CF chassis components..

Just a few of them

More to come....

Great show Dan...need to get the cars to do a little cabaret with the star of the show being...

:p:)

This thread is just going to get my depression worst LOL!!!!

Dan, I just love the words you choose for your post; "just a few.."!!!!!!:drool:
Did you install the tires I sent you?

Wow... all the collections shown so far are simply put; desireable!!! Big hand of applause to all of you!!!

Some of my cars old and my current ones too. The optima is still stripped down but ive run out of time right now to finish it off. All the others are in a running condition and most have electric's in them, the Evo gets used a few times a year and i love driving her old school fun and fairly quick still.

Here are my Cougars:

The painted one is the Oople Invernational Ralls Racing Vintage winner from last year. Nath Ralls was on the sticks not me!

The Cougar 1 is a shelfer with a new clear body shell, new Reedy Sonic motor, Novak ESC and RX

I would like to thank TARTMAN for the paintjob on this car. It just needs vintage decals and a brushless motor...Behold:D

Not as healthy as some collections but it covers my favorites.

Wow, really like your black/green/white RC10!!!

Well here are my humble beginnings into collecting.

My Restored tamiya Dynastorm, has many Nimrod racing carbon parts fitted.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps8a1da700.jpg

Restored Kyosho Optima, this car is pretty much built from NIP parts, very little of the legacy donor car remain, a total queen.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...e/SAM_0296.jpg

The housewives favourite, a '94 YOKOMO YZ10, again, car is 99% new and im mounting a spares back up so i can run it, not with the Masami shell on mind :p
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psb3f965ac.jpg

Tamiya Monster Beetle......bought as it TBH, its mint, very lovely, not a car I'm head over heels for, but its a looker for sure.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...e/SAM_0308.jpg

Cant really include my Avante as its a 2011, but there will be more to come, I'm kinda hooked now.........so looking into RC10 and older Losi's.
