And don't forget, they'll kill an extra dolphin for every part you break. You don't need that on concience now, do you?

there not as expensive as everyone thinks... just as long you maintain it properly your good to go...10$ a set of arms... hubs are 6$....that seems prety normal... diffs are expensive but ive been running the same diff that came with the wc for over 2 months and its still good enough to race with.so if its done right it will last!!! this also goes for all cars....

I know they aren't over priced everyone just looks at the upgrades those are what take a chunk out of your wallet but iv'e herd that what you get is well worth the money and i believe it so ill find out wed about 12 but i think im gonna enjoy them. And forgot to mention congrats on the baby frazz! I love that Kyosho Bib larry showed.

If that actually happened when I had mine, they'd have gone extinct and they'd eventually have to find another species to kill off. lol

Good, durable cars. I broke alot because my skills weren't up to par. That and I'd always find the sour spot in every layout.

You can find them on here, ebay, craigs list. Some are a little difficult to find parts for. If you stick with losi or assoc the parts are pretty easy to find and really do not cost much more than are current cars. Also in past years there are usually guys selling parts and whole cars so if you need something chances are its there for the more popular cars. Any idea what you would like to get?

I don't have any idea what I'm looking for. The only thing I've ever driven was Brandon's XX. I don't have a preference for AE or Losi, but the more complete, the better.

There is a wall of vintage rides owned by some crazy italian dude on the wall up in Winsted.

That goes for anyone who needs a ride for VONATS.

+1, if anyone needs help with a vintage ride matty or i can help.
i may have a nice modded rc10 that someone can use(just gotta pic which car i want to run in 2wd), similar to freddies red chassis car if you've seen that before. i can help source parts, complete cars, anything you may need. mostly vintage ae,losi and tamiya but some kyosho as well. i've also got a few classics that can be loaned out.

feel free to pm me with any vintage questions you may have.
