Mark/John have an array of Vintage stuff in the shop, whether for sale or not, I couldn't tell ya.

Another way to get started would be by visiting RC10Talk.com, it's a website devoted to vintage RC10s and other vintage R/C cars, check them out.

As far as parts are concerned, those vintage cars are pretty durable, I ran my RC10T for a while before buying a T4, and never broke anything on it. I also ran a XX for quite some time in 2wd buggy, and again, very durable also, and never broke anything on it, except the rear arm mounting plate.

I would recommend sticking to a newer model though, due to the parts availability. Although the vintage stuff is durable, if you do break, you're out for the day, unless someone has any spare parts.

After the current points series, which ends on Saturday, I plan on running my Vintage RC10T for a while, just for fun....
