These upgrades were done just before Vintage Off-Road Nationals. We’re just getting around to posting them since it was hectic getting everything ready in time for the event, and have been on a non-stop race schedule it seems ever since. Regardless, here is our upgrade article for when we took our box stock Tamiya Avante […]

Tamiya TT-01 – Yeah Racing Shock Upgrade
October 10th, 2013 Matt We picked up this Tamiya TT-01E a while back, and we’ve been waiting for an opportunity to dig into it. Its a fun car to drive stock, but there are a few areas where we feel the performance could be greatly improved with a little work. One of the easiest upgrades is in the suspension. […]

Road to Vintage Nats: Associated RC10 Refresh
September 10th, 2013 Jarodd So this is my second installment to the “Road to Vintage Nationals“. I previously freshened up an RC10T. I need to run a second class so I decided to run a Gold Tub RC10. This is just like the one I started RC racing with back in 1995. This was purchased from a friend of […]

Road to Vintage Nats: Tamiya Avante 2011 Build Up
September 4th, 2013 Geo The Tamiya Avante is one of those kits that I think every kid who grew up in the 80’s wanted, and few could afford. Even the rerelease is still quite pricey. When Kevin told me that he was planning to go to the Vintage Off-Road Nationals this year, I immediately was interested in going. The […]

September 3rd, 2013 solly There is no shortage of hopup parts for Losi’s 22 series of vehicles, some of them are for bling (do people still use that word?) others for function. Exotek’s Steering Rack Conversion kit covers both. I had noticed that the steering rack in my 22SCT had become quite sloppy over this summer racing season so […]
Road to Vintage Nats: Associated RC10 Reboot
September 1st, 2013 Kevin Alright folks. This is Part 2 of my original RC10 Restoration article from WAY back in January. That article also has a lot of info about the Vintage Off-Road Nationals that all these builds are centered around. This really isn’t a part 2 though, because I pretty much scrapped that whole project. I kept a […]

Road to Vintage Nats: Associated RC10T Restoration
August 29th, 2013 Jarodd When Kevin started talking about racing a “vintage” R/C race I was interested. The Vintage Off-Road Nationals race is an annual event, now held at the Bethel Raceway Arena in Bethel, CT. All cars and trucks must be made before 1994. I thought it would be fun to find the old cars and trucks, fix them up, […]

RCSoup Store is OPEN!
June 14th, 2013 Kevin Well guys, we had a store up before and took it down because we didn’t have much to sell. We’ve turned that around though and have a few stellar items listed! T-Shirt Pre-Orders will run until June 30, 2013. After that the Limited Edition white logo shirt is going away. This is also a good […]
Associated SC10 Refresh with AVID RC & Viper
May 25th, 2013 Kevin This is my Team Associated SC10 2wd Short Course truck. It started life as a standard kit (not the Factory Team). I’ve done minor upgrades through the couple years I’ve owned it and adding a few more today. With as little as I run 2wd SC, I find it hard to justify a new SC10.2 […]
Atomik V2MR 1/10 2WD Buggy Build Up
March 26th, 2013 Kevin The Atomik V2MR 2wd race buggy kit is the newest addition to the Atomik RC line of vehicles. Unlike the other cars they have come out with which are RTR, this breath of fresh air is offered in kit form. It’s also their first real “Racing” vehicle. They offer a number of other cool cars/trucks […]
