Im excited to go race on a real track instead of just bash around.
I like associated products! I had an RC10T stadium truck back in the day. Circa 1993ish I believe. I think it was the Team series as I recall having hard anodized shocks.
I recall there being 3 different packages around that time when I bought mine. You could get the sport which was like a basic version with gold shocks, the team version which had the hard anodized shocks. Then there was a full version that came with everything. I want to say it was the ultimate or something along those lines.

Any way, fun times until we lost our track near my house.

We are about to get our first track. I hope it’s not just another fad, I’ve loved it since I was 9 when I got my first Tamiya Grasshopper kit. I used to lust after the RC 10, especially the team kits. This would be why we built this one. I think the first kit I did was way back in 86. Yep, I’m old. Lol

We’ve been driving them every day after school and having a blast. I’ve already ordered a new motor, low gear transmission, bigger servo, and a bunch of brass parts for mine.

Still needs work, slat wall, finish loft, trim, etc. Im going to have to take a break though it's almost killed me to get it this far.

Not as cool as some of your toys, but about a year ago i picked up a hyper go brushless 1:16 on amazon. If anyone wants a cheap(ish) car that you can bash without constantly buying parts to repair I suggest it. I think i have a total of $175 invested for the car and 3 batteries. The little thing is almost uncontrollable with the 3s battery.
