@@CoreyWhite-dr1xh hi, unfortunately couldn’t do mods on a rare prestine version perhaps a future mod version from a used broken version. Thanks
Hi Luke i saw your videos on the Richmans Toys Batmobile, back in 1990-91 i swear i saw that Cox rc produced a Batmobile, this thing was huge, almost 3 feet long, the box was different to the Richmans package too, do you have any old catalogues from that period to confirm this? Or am i just remembering differently 🤔
@@markjames8603 I’m not familiar with a cox Batman car. Thanks though ✌️
That is what I have. Moving everything over to Graphite frame and aluminum parts That I purchased years ago. Getting back into it. Current Truck has a busted shock Mount. I want aluminum. Cool Video.
@@ZPDSurvival thank you sir ✌️
That's a nice-looking Mustang! You know, I never really focused on the non-hobby grade stuff except for the Nikko Rhino. Watching your videos has introduced me to an expanded world of rc that was not on my radar. Thank you for that Luke! Also, if you don't mind me asking, is there a way that I can contact you? I'm doing some vintage rc research and could really benefit from your expertise. Thanks again!
@@user-st8qq1re1k So anyone can contact me on my gmail account or my facebook group too. All on my about me page. Also I post my contact details at end of every video now. Thanks tons.
I’ve got a factory built and painted one from 1991 in my collection only used it 2 or 3 times, absolutely love it! Keep up the great work on your channel mate!
@@Stu_The_Detailer thank you 😊
Nice work!
@@Paul__FC thank you 😊
Like if Anyone remembers the Tamiya Catalogs? 80s-90s That was our Bible! Especially people in my age group (49 on the 28th of July)
Was 100% a Grasshopper/hornet knock off , back in 86, it was my first decent rc kit, I was 11 , me and my mom went to our local hobby shop "Wilson Hobby" on Jamaica Ave in Woodhaven Queens NY ,I was a regular there for many years, that store was there since I think the late 50-60? Pretty much forever, Pete knew everyone and everyone knew Pete! He had inherited the store from his dad, I was still buying rc card there up until around 10 years ago. It was a staple in the old neighborhood! The kinda place where little kids dreams came true and parents went broke! 😅 I remember paying $65 for my Rockbuster and buying a new chassis almost every day! Would always break those shock towers, then Mr Pete of Wilson's found me a metal shock tower hop up! And it was fixed! Not to mention, oil filled front shocks! Hell Yeah! Then my friend Billy, one of the older kids, gave me a Grasshopper, and I combined the 2, geez, my father thought I was some type of Genius, building those remote control cars. It would be great if you could find that metal front chassis fix? But after that was my Frog, Black Foot, RC10 , Then gave up on it for many years only to get back into it around the early 90s, since I was a diehard Tamiya guy, next came my TA02 Special Chassis kit, and TA03 Fully customized, had a ridiculous amount of money into that car and I didn't even own a real car at the time! And I discovered Tower Hobbies! And bought so many others! RC10L , Bolink POS'S! You name it! And after that I swore it was over! But come around 10 years back , I bought a Pep boys traxxas Stampede, then it broke at Astoria skate park, and a few years later, my Brushless 2wd Slash which is to fast for its own good! She's consumed my Stampede for just about everything that is interchangeable, and she's still rolling, and very fast! And it's not over! Just yesterday, my amazing and highly recommended "Legendary Thunder" $114 shipped to my house in Long Island! How can you go wrong! I love this budget basher , around 45mph right out of the box! Pretty good quality, 4WD, great tires Brushless and cheap as fk price! What a deal! Something I've never said about anything RC! Anyhow, buy one! You won't be disappointed! Sorry for talking your ear off, but it's so nice to see my old friend the "ROCKBUSTER" Thank You for the #memories

@@gusmangsuryanala6613 thanks
Oh my!! Luke!!! I had one of these...In Australia!!! My 2nd RC car right before I got a Hornet. Early 85. Completely forgot about it. The version I had didn't have the Pepsi decals but I do remember it having a 2 speed transmission... big switch was underneath between low and high. Think it topped out at around 20kph (12.4 mph) in high gear (In my memory it was fast but I'm probably very wrong)... As well as draining batteries (Expensive back then) in under 10 minutes, I remember the steering "servo" being way too slow to control it at that huge (lol) speed... That's amazing..NIB... After all those years...
@@steveblackbird Hi Steve, I’m not sure about a two speed on this chassis as the gear box is a traditional three gear. Pinion, spur, and diff. It must of been a smaller variant. The Ferrari I did I open and restore so you can get a better view. Happy Summer
@@LukesVintageRC It was definitely that scale. Same markings/decals wheels etc even the transmitter. Must have either been for our market or maybe a later model. Same battery layout too. I'm slowly getting through your vids Luke...Striking quite a few chords with your channel. Happy summer to you and the family. Winter here..cold as in Sydney!
Awesome machine👌💪💯
@@Fortes_RC_Adv thank you buddy
Ooo, that’s a Sector 7 chassis. Stock with a NiMh battery it would hit 24mph. It eats tires though and as the tread wore down, the car became progressively less drivable.
@@MustangsCanTurnToo hi there, so these will do around 117-19mph stock. I’ll post another video in a future episode of a top speed and drag race with gps with stock for short. Remember radio shack states on box 1700ft per minute. That’s 19mph. Everything looks faster than what is shown. For example a Tamiya Hornet tops out 18mph on smooth surfaces. Nikko f10 15mph. The motor and weight is the S7 issue. The motor is a standard 27turn rs 540 mabuchi . RPM is 13,500. Sorry bud, everything I’ve done took a lot to get this rc to do 29mph. Remember Team associated rc10 with their race motor would only do 24 mph. Tires can be an issue I’m sure. As shown it’s easy to replace. Thank you and take care.
Love the restoration Luke as always. I remember these from back in the day. A school friend had one but unfortunately it was one rather fragile buggy. Poor thing was always broken.. didn't help that he sent the thing off everything lol. Never thought much of them, but now in 2024 I like them. I agree Tamiya should re-re this kit. Lot's of Falcon fans around. Iconic buggy.
@@steveblackbird hi bud. Definitely iconic. Thank you for sharing and watching. Godbless
the silver one badaasss
@@gmartomihardjo thank you 🙏
I want one that was the 2nd hobby grade rc I ever had brings back good memories when I was just a kid 👍👍
I just typed in re-release and I got your Channel first. I'm excited because I just received mine up here in Yellowknife Canada.
Wtf! No bearings!!!!
ashpapass ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Oi, quando ligo o RC o carrinho vira para esquerda, no trim só ajuda um pouco, terias alguma dica de como centralizar?
Saludos Luke yo también tengo un lagarto de esos aparte de caro me gaste $200 en electrónica moderna baleros motor placa control remoto Traxxas TQ batería Lipo como $300 dólares americanos y sale mi esposa diciendo que lo venda 😂
@@CarlosRodriguez-dv1hg Hi Carlos, sell your rc and buy your wife some new shoes. Remember happy wife happy life. ✌️
Nice resto mod 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@All_RC_Fun hey thanks man
I’ve ran my RC10cc and it’s no more brittle than a tamiya boomerang or hotshot I think getting parts is probably the main problem!
@@philmoffett366 I gotta get the hot shot on the channel and boomerang which isn’t my favorite car as I never cared for the look of the boomerang. Thanks for watching happy summer.
Was this truck used in Terminator 2?
i got one in the 80s...i remember the chassis had a weeak spot..mine broke after jumping it quite a few times...
@@spawnrcandbikes yeah these aren’t the most robust rc. Definitely not 40 years later. ✌️
Another awesome project. Love your channel 👍🏻
@@DustyFingersRC thank you for watching. Happy Summer
Another awesome build! Thanks Luke
@@mikecave2225 true blast for sure. Thanks 😊
Lovely little mustang. Awesome that it got upgraded to hobby grade.👍😊
@@Toystheyrenot thank you for watching. Happy Summer 😊
Great job Luke brother, that's a beauty! 😊 👍
@@riffraffsrc it was a fun one to do. Godbless
Should go over mods for servo
I think I posted it in description but a Tamiya servo saver is all you need and double sided tape. The stock rods go through it. Quite simple.
@@LukesVintageRC thanks
✌️
Super great vid! Love these!!!
@@fredboylstein8930 I’m with you man. ✌️
Dang that thing rips
@@IowaBudgetRCBashers yes it does 👍
Ok after seeing the chassis definitely Taiyo made.
Nope. It’s licensed from Sector 7.
So who made these for radio shack? The L shaped servo says Taiyo, am I correct??
@@IowaBudgetRCBashers its possible. The chassis is ok. Thanks for watching buddy
it is very cool.
Thank you
Dude loving da channel.also nice prospeed in da background.that RC was as close you can get to a suped up rc without going hobby grade.u got the 27mhz as well?
@@jacintogomez8755 thanks for watching. Always little teasers to n the background. ☺️
That mustang is impressive.and so is ur collection.dude I'm kinda jealous.lol
I been thinking about doing one of these. Not the camaro though, wayyyy too big.
@@VcArena lol the Camaro was fun too. Definitely have some fun this summer with one of these. 😊
This ran pretty great, recently found a Traxxas 1:16 vxl ken block in the e-waste container at the recycling facility here which works fine but needs some minor work on it imo. Shocks are very soft so might have to swap in harder springs, if not shock oil too as well as a rear right c-hub being a bit wobbly, cranked down the pre-load atm so it doesnt bottom out just accelerating or braking. Chassis of this reminds me of the new bright 1:6th scale slr mclaren.
@@Mini-z1994 I got to get one of the 1/16 Ken block cars from traxxas too. Hey thanks for your support. Have a great weekend
Nice upgrades to a very cool looking car! It was scooting out there too! A very and unique one to have in the collection, great job!
@@AddamsPlayground hey there Addam. I think these are awesome cars. I always thought about them so it was a must. Happy Summer.
This video was released on my 32nd birthday!
@@Nlangkirby135 you want to switch ages with me. 😆
@@LukesVintageRC idk about that… 😊
That's cool I love the build.
@@turdbbburgersam4318 thanks, many more recent uploads and to come. 🙏
Question for you Luke: How many of these builds do you keep, and how many do you sell? I'm guessing that you sell some to fund other builds? Ebay?
@@user-st8qq1re1kHowdy, Actually I keep majority or give to friends /relatives and lately do giveaway on the channel. My collection is on my Instagram account. Essentially I work hard via overtime and long days to earn funds, working since 14 and now I’m 50 one tends to have a few bucks. Issues arrive on space, Wife has a cap if it cannot fit in my studio I can’t have. I got to be picky. I’d sell technically to make room for another rc. Not really to buy another. For thought: I would never be able to make constant content if I had to wait to sell something for money takes too long who knows what it sells for or if it sells.? Gotta have money to burn, as i have a new project or two every single month for years. Vintage rc channel is wildly overpriced but I do it for my childhood dreams equally is Priceless. Take care
@@LukesVintageRC Thanks Luke. I can totally understand all that! Looks like you and I are the same age, that means that you also grew up in the 80's. That explains where your passion and your taste in rc's comes from. I do not do any social media so I can't see your collection, though I sure would like to. My first hobby grade rc was the Blackfoot (58058) back when it came out and I've been in the hobby at some level ever since. I have about 5 or 6 to build as soon as time allows. But for now, I'll keep watching and following your channel. I have picked up some good restoration tips from you along the way, thanks for that! Keep up the good work Luke!
Once again, well done Luke! Awesome machines for sure!
@@user-st8qq1re1k thank you 🙏
' i have 2 good R/C boats... 1- firehawk 1- traxxas villain boat both are NIMH batterys... no fuel nitro / no steam hot water

I love your videos. Wholesome, gorgeous 80s RC action.
