Man, this thread makes me miss my mk 1 stuff. My first car was an 83 GTI that I resurrected from sitting for almost a decade. I loved that car, it was a ton of fun. It eventually got sold and then I had an 88 16v Scirocco, which was a *ton* of fun. That engine is fantastic, revs to the moon, never drank a drop of oil, hardly even leaked any either. I sold it before I got out of college, sadly. I would've loved to ditch the diving boards and do the full euro look. Cash for clunkers killed all these fun old cars, and it's a real shame.

Have you looked on amazon at radios and batteries yet? Theyre reeaaal cheap, I can get you some links if you want, first ones on me

I’m gonna be the boring guy and suggest the LiPo/brushless upgrade. The runtime you get from the modern stuff really is amazing. I have an SCX-10 short course truck (the great great grand-baby of your RC-10) and I get 30+ minutes runtime out of a single charge without any difficulty. The limiting factor becomes the heat in the motor if you’re constantly goosing it like a hack. More power means more faster right?

Related - it’s my car on the track at the local bmx park. The suspension on this thing truly is amazing.
