This thread is inspired by the for sale thread of the car stands that really brought back some memories.

So what product has dissappeared that you would like to see again?

It can be anything, cars, tools, gadgets, you name it.

Me I like the MaxMod truers. I saw that Bruse had some MaxMod products in stock, maybe they are making a comeback.

Fizzy Pop "Soda" Tablets. I loved those as a kid, and I've been wanting some lately :)

I don't need any of the OLD stuff to make a comeback - I think I still own EVERYTHING I've ever had (except my original RC10...which I gave to my next door neightbor a few years ago....and my Nitro Bolink Pan Car..that I gave to McLin) LOL

...but I could use a few more ProtoFORM HS Velo T-Bird Bodies, and some JACO "V" Rated capped tires.

A grape NEHI soda, a good southern style Bar B Q sandwich w/cole slaw or CRP shock seals.

I got some of the Jaco Velodrome tires and the Taurus bodies, never got a chance to use them.

Still got the Jacos? (Always lookin for them) - CRP use to be in Atascadero CA (about 45 miles from me) Roland Baliey owned/managed or something at that place.

Yes as far as I remember I put them with my other radials. Tried giving away the Taurus bodies 88, 89 but no one wanted them. Will send you a PM on how many (2 1/2 sets I think) and what they are.

more recently the Protoform intrepid R/T. You can still buy them but they are out of production

How about all the Oval Race Tracks that have disappeared?:confused:

Andys taurus & oval truck bodys,CKW tires,Vicfors,Composite Craft cars,brushed motors,round cells,RC Thunderdrome,Stealth batterys,B&R motor works and the original Racers Haven track in Bakersfield.Joe,i have blue fizzies at home.They are still available.Oh,i forgot,you live in the sticks.ha ha.
How about Fan Tan chewing gum?Oh,and .35 a gallon gas.Guess i'm getting a little too old here.

Maxmod truers
RC2000 batteries
GP3300 Batteries (these or similar are still made and we could have been using them all this time)
Futaba 1024 PCM radio
TQ8 (red can)
BSR soft blue front tires
Protoform Taurus HD
Woods pan cars (the inventor of the modern pancar design......not Associated like people constantly post)

Surely you must be...misinformed, or else we were LIED TO, because ALL those cells were to be STOPPED being made....

Don't worry Joe I successfully detected the sarcasm hehe

But for those who don't know, here you go.

the ne F-MD body is the same body.

Last time I talked to the Maxmod guy he was considering getting back into it. He still services the truers, I had gotten some parts for mine from him a couple of years ago. Anyway I know he was ON RC tech about a year ago polling about interest in having them made again..

i would love to see Protoform re realese every body the ever made for a oval car.

Pat...

What...sarcasm....MOI? (Ok, maybe a little)

It's not a product, but one of the main things I wish could be brought back to OVAL RACING is the GOOD TIMES and general FUN of racing at the local bank/school/shopping center parking lot with 25-30 other guys who love gathering on a Saturday or Sunday morning....for a day of good racing.

What I want to see come back: 6 cells 2000mah and green machine motors

What I don't want to see come back: the old days of the greens and the blues. You would get a double blue that duroed softer than a green, what a nightmare that was!

Good GP batteries, and Brushed Stock motors...LOL

GP3300 Batteries (these or similar are still made and we could have been using them all this time)

i agree.

decent television...

naaaaaa ford is ugly to methe ne F-MD body is the same body.

team associated return with the rc10,b2 and b3 cars and parts.

Good GP batteries, and Brushed Stock motors...LOL That suits me fine,I agree,low key low cost---More racers!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

I would like to see the ledgends come back..


Spoke too late, they came back in April

naaaaaa ford is ugly to me


lol really it's the same with a different grill

lake whipporwill speedway
bolink (bob rule era)
GP3300 cells
competition plus magazine
blackstock and dosek back to oval racing
all the money i spent on crap over the past 40 years!

batteries that did not explode at random (of any size).
Brushed motors.
proto Taurus bodies.
Hyperdrive 510 slider.
Sandhills speedway.
Banked r/c tracks. =^>

Things I miss:

1. RC Thunderdrome
2. Protoform Velodrome bodies (t-bird)
3. Victor HI-IQ chargers
4. More than 100 people at a race (don't miss 300)
5. Oval racing parts at local hobby shops (every time I ask for a strange part they ask what car I have ... amazingly enough they haven't heard of KSG)
6. Local hobby shops where the owners actually raced oval
7. The sound of dynos at the track ... but I think I 'm ok with this a little.
8. Original Racer's Haven track. Western RC. Lake Whipperwill. Dominguez Hills Velodrome.

Things I think are the best they have ever been:

1. Lipo batteries - least amount of money spent on batteries this year than any previous year (started racing in 92).
2. Brushless motors - closest racing in a long time.
3. 2.4 Ghz radios
4. taking a soldering iron to the track but not really needing it.
5. Quality of oval kits
6. Quality of shocks (HPI/Hotbodies)
7. Snowbirds

AMEN!

I guess there is a lot to be said about a grille and some cool headlight stickers. i had to look twice but you are right, they are very similar.lol really it's the same with a different grill

2 classes with 5 heats each....not the other way around.

getting close with 7.4v lipo I can see 2 classes 17.5 and 21.5 as long as the "create a class so I can make an A" guys don't screw it up

I still use all 4 of my 1024 PCM radios that I bought in 1991/1992. All have the Futaba 2.4 module upgrades and work great. I prefer them over any other radio and there are some that feel that electronically and mechanically, they were the best radios that Futaba ever built.

i would love to see Protoform re realese every body the ever made for a oval car.

windtunnel now hasd "all" of Bolinks molds check with Rob @ Murdock he can hook you up with all the old stuff

Bolink in the "Rule" era. Many goodies come out of that shop including the birth of nitro pan!! :)

I don't remeber who made maybe composite craft but the bottom plate that doubled as a spur gear protector and the old proto bodies.

I had some HPI lower plates that had the kick-up and Spur Gear protector (still have a wide one and a narrow one....someplace)

I agree with the brushed motors to make a come back.

Battery limiters??? Make higher turn motors to go slower with Lipo?? Man, I thought Lipo and Brushless were suppose to make our hobby easier not more complex....

The old JB Hobby/Crossroads Raceway Tri-oval. God i miss that track.

Derrick

I have a few to add.

Flemmings R/C track in Gadsden.

Good 'Ol Parking lot races. I still think this is a leading cause of lack of racers. Heck nobody can see us at the tracks.

The World-of-Wheels race at the Birmingham World-of-Wheels. That was the forst race I saw the BoLink LTO come to. Team BoLink came over with it.

The Road course that we used for the On-Road Nationals we held here in Birmingham.

THE SUGARBOWL!!

Springcove R/C Raceway

How about the return of oval racing?

I have one for my 10L, but I don't know the brand
