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.

2013 Vintage Off-Road Nationals Event Coverage
This past weekend Team driver Jarodd Goedel and myself attended the Vintage Offroad Nationals in Bethel, CT. This race is organized and put on by RC Car Action’s Erich Reichert.

Road to Vintage Nats: Associated RC10 Refresh

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, […]

This year, we plan to attend the 2013 Vintage Off-Road Nationals (VONats). If you didn’t know such a thing existed, […]
