We get out restored team Associated RC-10 graphite out for a few laps on the VBRC circuit! Can this factory upgraded buggy beat team Losi on the board? Cable cam footage and blooper reel at the end!
Loving the mix of race cars and ‘hobby’ cars. Back in the ‘80s most of us started with a Hornet or Frog, and either progressed to (or just lusted after) the Optima’s and Ultima’s, and then the RC10’s, Losi’s and Schumachers. Keep up the great work!😊
This is the car that got me into this Hobby. Back in middle school in 90' , a buddy of mine which is still a good friend his father had the graphite rc10. From what I remember it was a stealth trans car. It was much better than his OG CE at the time. I ended up getting the late model C stamp CE and that graphite chassis car was that much better. This brings back a lot of memories. I raced at Hobby Warehouse Sacramento CA and Hobby Haven in Livermore CA. Great times. I still have majority of my OG stuff 10T team truck, B3 team car , tub GT , FT GT , and a small collection of nib kits and a plethora of nip parts
Man, I love the way you edit your videos! It's got that vintage feel that other people try hard to achieve, but never accomplish... what a perfect compliment to the cars :D Your videos take me back
Thank you so very much! I love editing and trying to find new and creative ways to keep the content fresh. It's unfortunately not a quick process..so it has held back the quantity of videos we can put out. Really appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed it.
@@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC I think your effort shows! Plus, despite what youtube says, vintage RC content doesnt need daily videos. One or two a month is more than necessary. I remember a time when all we had was monthly updates from magazines, and even the most prolific shows that werent soap operas were on a weekly schedule. I think thats what i like best... wait for your videos, and get something well thought out and pleasant to watch haha it's more timeless. Anyway, love the work, hope you enjoy it and stick around for a long time :D
Being lucky enough to have the Graphite Team Car - can say the Stealth box, and the grey shock package really brings the car up to another level for ease of driving. 2.2 JC Racing wheels, and RPM arms, really help the cars stability and handling. Thats a dam fine track you have there as well!
Thanks so much! I have a composite craft chassis that I wouldn't mind drilling for a stealth. Might need to make that happen. The Jrx shocks are no slouch either...so some of it may be there as well.
Oh, how lovely was that first slomo shot? That was slowed more than the usual 8 times, I think, very smooth! Great backstory, lots of knowledge in there, very interesting. And of course with the lap times to back those facts. Keep these coming, it's great fun to be educated when it is presented like this, great video, guys!
Thank you so very much! Yea...I tried slowing one waaaay down. It's definitely a razors edge between making it unusable and looking like a nice effect...lol. I think we have a nice planned out format at this point for our videos...so that should (hopefully) speed up production. I appreciate you noticing. Glad you enjoyed it and yanks again.
Great run and wonderful buggy! I love the Wynn's paint job on it and it looks fantastic getting around the track! It seemed to drive really smooth in the corners and took them jumps nicely. I went to run mine today but the MIP ball diff was not tight enough and was slipping. I have to get it tightened up some and have another go. It was nice to see yours ripping around so i at least I got to see one good on the track today LOL!! Thanks for all the hard work and for sharing it with us, I enjoyed it!
Thanks my friend. Always appreciate the support.This buggy is fantastic.i was in no fear of it breaking while driving it and it didn't do anything that I had to stay on top of.The inline knuckles really gave the car superhero turn in on the deck carpet. I know it should probably be a shelf queen...but what fun is that...haha. That livery is one of my favorites on 1:1 race cars and I was stoked to get it on a buggy. Looking fwd to seeing how yours runs. Rock on brother.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah... that 6 gear is just a mess!! I don't know what they were smoking when they designed that thing...lol It's "interesting" but it doesn't work well. I feel like they were too proud of it to let go of it, for far too long! lol. The stealth works LIGHT YEARS better, is way easier to maintain and assemble, and is twice as strong.
Amazing work as always brother 🙌🏻 Cable cam is on another level this season dude. Huge high fives on the camera work by all involved 🙌🏻 The RC10 was a monster out there and I was surprised it didn’t make it up to the top. It seemed to take the jumps so smoothly and you look really consistent out there. Can’t wait to see what you have next dude 👍🏻
Thanks my friend. Will be the last of the c.c. this year so I am glad it got so much footage while operational. Plan is to make a new one this winter (it broke up on impact during this shoot...lol). Having it roll back in time with the rc10 pace was TOTAL luck! I would bet this combo with a stealth trans would crush the list...but who knows? The Jrx was and still is an amazing car! Until next year... Appreciate the support brother.
Well done comparison between these old relics. Awesome track video . The SC10 is still definitely a runner. It jumps and corners so well. May not quite beat the Losi, but, wins at making smiles for the driver! Awesome track too! Take care and best wishes! Love those out takes,😝👍🏻🤗
This was a great time in RC. The competition between Losi and TA really improved the kits and the hobby. I still have my JRx2. I had a Hornet prior and what a difference in handling.
Great run. She drove and looked amazing on your track. Seemed effortless and controlled. Still an extremely better looking car over the losi imo, in my top 5. What a pleasure 👍
Yea it's definitely a different buggy compared to my cougar. That car is no slouch though. We ended up getting ours on the track last week btw. So look fwd to a Cougar video before years end. Appreciate the support my friend.
You don’t need to swap them back. All you need is a team car, or even a championship edition for the comparison. That’s why even the world’s car was based on a pan. Still remember the rc car action comparison between these two cars and TL won out over AE even then. I don’t know why, but I was I was a fan of the RC 10 and I let that affect my decision on my first buggy should’ve got the jrx2 instead because they were just flat owning the club track races near me when I was a kid 88, 89,90. When I heard they were rereleasing them I thought maybe I’ll have one and then I saw it was 1/16 scale no thanks -U10
The Losi is a much different way of doing it for sure. I was a kid running a gold pan in the early 90s but at my little local track...that's about all everyone ran. I think I got to see a few Losi cars run but it was about the time I took a break from RC (I discovered hot rods and girls...lol). I have that composite craft 6 gear I plan on running and should have enough parts to put together a stealth/long arm car so maybe I can get them on track before years end. Appreciate the back in the day knowledge for sure my friend.
Appreciate it brother. I assure you all the cams are in sync. but am aware it can get too busy for sure. Always open to ideas to make the channel better so it doesn't go unheard. Thanks so much for watching.
Pop Losi had a snack shop in Cali and out of that snack shop he sold parts he made for the yokomo and associated cars. They had a falling out and he then created team Losi and made a better car. Pop and his brother also sold skateboards and skateboard parts and started their own company Variflex skateboards. Very innovative family
I went back and watched the jrx2 runs and ya mid corner is were the losis seemed to get the advantage the most. The smoothest ball dif in the stealth i believe would make the difference
What you think about that new kyosho Ultima 87 that would be interesting to see what it could do. It looks like it could hang with the best of them. Two gear transmission, looks awesome, definitely a bit pricey though but being a limited edition could be a nice investment
We have one brother and plan on a trip around the track before years end. SUPER out of the budget but I really wanted it for looks alone. I wish I would have known about the Dogfighter and Clear Rc10 before hand...but it is what it is. Should make for some good content regardless.
