I,m updating my RC10 That I got back in 1986 and won and raced in many a A Mains going to update to brushless and lipos. i also have a YZ 10 that will be back on the track soon good luck and a really nice run and car.
I really liked how at 2:49, after some contact and spinning your opponant, you slowed a little to allow him to catch up again. Great racing! Love the car. I am so sorry I got rid of mine so many years ago...
ap3x1: It is not the battery which makes that the car go fast!!! It is the motor and the gears box which makes that that go fast
what battery is in that car? mine don't las t
what battery is in that car? mine don't last anywhere near this long.
that rc10 has one thing to say to you all "who's your daddy?!"
lol
awesome vid. rchr woot!
A great design will always be a great design. A good driver helps too!
But these handle so well when set up properly. And they're tuff.
Great job!
Why,why did I sell all of my rc10's when I was younger:(:( wish I could go back in time and kick my own ass for selling them. Man I miss all of my old cars. those cars where more fun in my opinion to drive.
Either you're an amazing driver, or your RC10 is on steroids...or both. Would love to see this machine going against a herd of B4's and XXX's. Hope my dream comes true
This is a rad vid man!! I still have my old associated buggies and drive them from time to time. My original ( short armed 6 gear is fully restored now ) and my original stealth car is in tip top shape and runs like a dream. I havent raced in 13 years or so since I no longer have a local track or shop. But I'd love to get back into it.
@RasheemSouth
No mods needed to run a brushless set up, the Stealth tranny in these cars are strong as heck....

Where is this track, i could get some great throttle responce practice in with my slash 4x4 plat and erbe
you wounld nt think that was a 20 year old car !!!!! sweet !!
wow you kickin asss. Thumbs up!
AWESOME WORK ON THE CAMERA
nice
H100A...cool man, I purchased an rc10T about two months ago, put full ball bearings in it with a rpm tranny. It has a vintage stock AE motor on it right now...man that thang zipps threw the yard. Plan on getting a mamba max in the future...hopefully my rc10T can keep up with my Baja5b.
what kinda tires and wheels can i get for my first gen. RC10?
@RasheemSouth i've got a couple in my basement. one's a normal RC10 brushless/ lowered for oval. the other is a RC10 oval conversion alum. rollcage, alum. headers n' everything
I love seeing the vintage cars out there!
@wawwwaaa think a tire blew
These things were rolling fuel tanks. You can see the drivers almost jumping out of the speeding cars, dreading the fire. lol
lol if cart was on the right path why did it die.
Idiot.
none of this footage is rare.
The fuel spraying the crowd is unreal. As a young kid, I always loved sitting low in the stands at motorsports events, close to the action. After a radiator exploded one night at our local track and threw scalding water on the first ten rows of the bleachers, I became a top row guy.
The IRL is garbage now...honestly I loved the IRL idea's from the get-go but unfortuantly (even with "unification") it has been literally destroyed by its own. Sad. CART was the right path, Tony had a "vision" but that is all it was...just a "vision" which is now irrelevant in racing.
We had neighbors come back from Indy in 64 with blisters from the intense heat of the fire, they looked like they had been sunburned. I talked to Graham Heath who was crewing that year , he said Bettenhsusen was off the ground coming through the flames with the throttle wide open . Bill Chessbourg 's last indy race was that year I believe , he was a racer's racer, I recall seeing a picture of him standing alone smoking a cigarette as other racers talked in small groups. Nobody ever gave bill lip
Good Video, Great song!
Gasoline would not be banned for another year. In them days, there was no firesuit. It was cotton soaked in borax.
I have a complete grip of the fact that IRL is not represented in this video. I was making a statement.
They tell the drivers now to stay in the car, it's actually gotten several of them killed. IRL spilled some serious blood in it's infancy."
It's a reference to the recent past, compared to this video(the dark ages). It's comparative, ok?
For 1doc-- Several of them killed by standing up?- Who , when. I don't think so. Also NONE of these wrecks in this video, NONE, had any connection with the IRL. All were at least 20 years before the IRL was formed. Prior to that USAC sanctioned the race & before that it was AAA. I don't want to give you a hard time, but your statements are incorrect
Honestly, I have no idea at 80mph. Probably give the flame retardant gear the 45 seconds or so it lasts for the car to slow down. Who can say, until your ass is the one on fire.
would you stay in a car that was on fire?
The footage of the driver climbing out of the car at what looks like at least 80mph(+)? Says it all. They tell the drivers now to stay in the car, it's actually gotten several of them killed. IRL spilled some serious blood in it's infancy. Most of the reckless drivers have been weeded out now though, it's a great series. I can think of worse things than getting snuffed racing at Indianapolis. No one likes to see it happen, BUT, racing has a bloody, and tragic heritage.
After the Sachs & Macdonld fire in 1964, This was the last time gasoline would be used in indy cars. Only alcohol for fuel from then on.
yes they wre....pressurized at that. :O
Those cars are driving with gasoline!?
F - MSG me on MSN. ID is in my profile. J
2:33 It is Mike Mosely, 1972 is the year, the flames were coming up the cockpit. 2:56-3:09 Salt Walther crash, I met Salt a few years ago at the Indy 500 memorabilia show. His burns are very disfiguring, he has to wear gloveson his hands they were burnt so badly!! Fire is the worst thing to a race driver!! scary.
u can have SO much fun ... with me v
I know he (Swede) was burned really but that is just tragic.
cool.. some footage i haven't seen yet..
lol at 2:33 WTF?
At the 3:56 mark, notice Salt Walther's legs hanging out of his car. Wow.
agreed
....at 21-22 seconds we see a different angle of Eddie Sachs hitting the spinning and on fire Dave Macdonald. Both Eddie and Dave burned to their deaths. The accident happened in turn 4 when Macdonald got "loose" and pinballed back into the front stretch. Eddie Sachs, Johnny Rutherford, Bobby Unser, Ronnie Duman all smashed into Macdonald.
at 1:06 the video is slowed enough to see Sachs hit and Rutherford go underneath his car and come out the other side on fire. Amazing
