- RC10 The Winning Edge with " Jammin ' " Jay Halsey . Part 1 of 5. This item is ex-VHS (I have an NTSC original) but long out of print, apparently. Not available on DVD as far as I am aware. Arcane Light Productions . 1986 . Team Associated was the company that produced the RC10. Featuring designer Roger Curtis . Plus ;- Gene Husting , who designed the tyres and some other things, plus motor magician Mike Reedy.
Jay and Jim Halsey were my neighbors growing up in the 80's and 90's. I used to joke with Jay that he was the 2nd fastest driver where we lived once I went pro! It was just a way to raz Jay, who was still really fast!
All that work, time and effort... to be the best. American Made, nothing touched them back then. Now mass produced in China, but all the hard work and effort was done in the US. So while he may have a pocket protector, he knew his shit!
Back in the good old American glory days. When people were proud and wanted to produce things in the USA
The RC10 was years ahead of its' time and this is why this car holds the most records and also has the distinction of being the 1st ever true RC Off-Road RACE car and in the hands of someone that knows how to fine-tune it, without the need of aftermarket parts, it is even still today quite amazing on the track. Nothing compares to lapping the current cars and drivers of today with an old gold tub RC10 CE with the stealth transmission.
My first true RC car. This car got me into racing. A beautiful machine.
What is really amazing is that every single part had to go through so many machining and finishing steps. After all of that, they could box it up and get it to you for $225. That had to have been a huge risk when you figure that r/c at that time was so small. Now the cars are so mass produced, it's no big deal. Thank you Associated!
I bought myself this car when the Challenger went down (due to my sadness of THAT event)
I must say it was an awesome distraction, first by assembling the machine, and then upgrading the unit bit by bit. This awesome project gave me nearly 2 yrears of diversion of the profound sadness delivered by my reaction to the NASA Discovery going down.
A very fun project that was therapeutic!
it was my gateway RC back in 7th grade..
this car is a piece of history and work of art!
I bought a new RC10 when I was 15 and immediately installed a mid engine graphite chassis kit on it. I wont second in a 2WD stock class out of 54 entries for the day. I was not too happy for a second place finish....SO...I decided to go with an Ultima after that LOL. All in all...I remember having so much fun with these things racing every weekend at the local 4H center. Leisure chargers...Futaba Magnum Jr radios...Sanyo 6 cell batteries...Trinity motors....loved it all. I still have them!!
Anyone remember when we use to race offroad on dirt lol
bentrider1972 ... the 90's...☹️sigh
No kidding, I've been out of rc for probably 25 years. Checked out a local track the other day, basically glued down clay lol.
The good old days when the track could change every lap. Lol
My friend has his rc10 from the 80's, and it's still competes with most current high-end cars. Associated knew what they were doing when they made it.
Brings back so many memories. I had an RC 10 and a 12L.
Used to race this car. Won a lot of races with it. At the time the Losi 2wd was the only real competition. The Traxxas 2wd wasn't too bad though. Got to attend the Winter Champs in Fla one year and met all the pro guys. They were all really nice. I got them to autograph a hat I picked up there. I still have it. Still have my old RC 10 too.
Got sick of fixing the chassis parts of my Tamiyas after a bad crash. Dad suggested we front a little bit more money for an RC-10 since it was much more durable. That car was virtually indestructible!
Outstanding. I still have two B2's and run one regularly
Really wish I still had my old rc10😮😊
I Have This Buggy......It Was Great Back In The Day, Now Just A Shelfer have not run it in years but sill works this is a great vid glad to see classics like this being up'd thanks for the memories.....
Full Respect. A true trailblazer. My second car after a Tamiya Frog.
7:44 Hot Trax Raceway in Huntington Beach CA!!!!! That track was world class at the time. they also had an enormous indoor carpet track in the next room. I remember seeing the JRX2 prototype driven by Jack Johnson and Gil Jr.
old cars look way more fun then todays new styles. i love those old buggies
I raced against these guys back in the day. Jay Halsey, Cliff Lett. we raced at R&R in Quincy Illinois, Great times!!
I love these old Rc's. I wouldn't trade my Stampede 4x4 for one but I would love to have one. Also this is a vhs rip? Jesus the quality is fantastic.
love that most of the new things back then are just standard now
Team Associated has the best suspension.. I love their feel
I still have (broken) my old Kyosho Ultima. With new speed controller and motor it was a fair match for the RC10's. Fun stuff!
I still have my RC10 gold pan car. I think I bought the kit around 1987. The car is mint, and it still runs just fine. I wish I could get some new tires.
I miss my old RC10. Never should have sold it!
excellent stuff! brings back memories from the day.
wow i cant belive how much technologie has progressed, seeing this and now looking at my b44 infront of me dam!!!
i had rc10ce when i was young and i just got an original hotshot in need of resto. i hope they reproduce the rc10 stuff in the future. i converted a rc10 dual sport into a nitro dual sport using my rc10gt chassis and the rc10gt to electric. the parts interchangeability was so nice. currently trying to convert a nitro tc3 to a nitro B44 (NB44) and it's going to be a chore. i'll have it done by next christmas if i'm lucky. the nitro dual sport took maybe an hour total.
Can't wait till the re-release!
I have raced the RC10 since back in 1985 and it was the best and still is the best. Nothing could beat my RC10, from the Tamiya 4WD cars to the Kyosho 2wd and 4wd cars. When the Losi JRX2 came out years afterwards, it was a closer competitor to the RC10 but I could still win 98% of all races I entered against the JRX2's. This included the JRX2 pro's etc....
Now years later, in 2010-2011 my gold tub RC10 can still beat the new Kyosho RB5, AE RC10-B4 and most other cars I have raced against.
THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN! Thanks for sharing! Who else dyed their a-arms pink or blue!?
I wore this vhs out when I was a kid
Wow, this is very cool.. thanks for uploading.
Just took out my second to last RC10T (last was a GT but that was sold long ago).
...was gonna pass down the T to my nephew but.. hmm.. maybe I'll buy him a new car :)
I got the oringal RC10 and one thing that sucked was the glass filled nylon..it stripped very easy..Was a great car because of the adjustable diff and suspension..My favories cars i had were the nicimo exceed,hirob alien,futaba fx10 and the tamiya porce 959..
A friend just gave me a box with 2 complete RC10s and a bunch of parts. Both cars have all 4 tires in great condition and I have 6 extra tires as well. I can't find much info on the electronics tho. I put stock Duratrax Evader guts into one car and the other one has vintage equipment.
Excellent video thanks for sharing
He is my hero.
Thanks for the info. I need to get some new wheels and tires.
I started RC about a month ago, I have a new Traxxas rustler, but then I had just got this handed down to me
I had the TQ-10. I think thats what it was. It was an improved RC-10. most parts were the same. Except it had a composite chassis, longer a arms some other minor differences. It was put out by horizon and associated. Then I moved up to the Losi JRX pro. Which handeled alot better in my opinion. Losi dominated the flat dirt ovals in my area.
thank you so much for posting this!!!
@GradyWhite2007 Check tamiyas out vintage tires, I believe they do fit the original RC10. In fact on this video at 2:34 the car has tamiya rough rider wheels and tires on the front which you can get new. I know it is not oem original.
lol i used to race jammin jay at One Stop....i miss my rc10
@Dr0rpheus Yeah baby... get that right... Losi and Associated have been archnemesi since the beginning of time!!! Losi forever!!!
back then cars were made better i miss the god days =(
Carbon impregnated plastic and molded graphite components is what happened.
Basically, it's just as tough and stiff as the old aluminum chassis, at a lesser price.
@boats752 Yeahhhh.... no. I had the Hotshot II and the RC10. RC10 was far superior, no doubts.
Only thing that took down my RC10 when I was racing was the Team Losi JRx2...
i would love to go back in time and school all you guys with a losi 22 brushless and lipos. Haha they would be soo confused what brushless and lipo is.
Thanks for the great upload!! Do you have the rc10 gt tuning video with cliff lett and gene hustings?
So Awesome!
RC10 RULES
Nice Watch!
Found out the name ov the song "One Good Reason Why" by Steve Azar
i use to have this VHS
OLD SCHOOL!
Uhhhhh Roger c-mon hurry,I have a life I have to get back to!
HA nice Tamiya wheels on the red number 7 car! old rough rider wheels
Hmmm, can definitely recommend not running a RC10 on the beach lol. Went to Agnes Waters in Australia and ran my B4 on the beach. Cleaned up the dampers when I got home, but now quite a few screws and the dogbones are rusty.
+Adddam soak them in fish oil before beach session.
Cheers mate. Won't be taking my 22 2.0 to the beach I can tell you.
song please
I have my arms colored in blue and yellow with dyes from clothes.
My rims also.
How come this car has a full aluminum chassis but the brand new one doesn't? lol
gotcha i was wondering because i race my b4.1 WE and all of the other companies like losi and durango are moving back to the aluminum chassis
@boats752 no you didn't...
how did buildings back then look compareable to todays buildings? weird
i just got a roller. need motor mount, gears, wheels/tires, and body. of this same car. very old but great condition.....except gearbox
i just got a rc10
i have the one from the 90,s the rc10 championship edition
Red dyed a-arms!
@spiritgod28 So have I.
@boats752 hell yeah HOTSHOT ALL THE WAY
OK fair enough but Hotshot is 4WD, RC10 is 2WD!
@mistersean86
Or then others can't drive! :]
they would still smoke you
they don't make them like they use to :\
money....
they are toys... we buy them to have fun, whether that be racing or just bashing... they are toys, there just expensive toys
Man this makes me miss my old RC10 GoldPan real bad. And where did they get the driver in the car ? I never had that
