Vintage RC Cars & parts worth anything?

I have a ton of stuff I am not doing anything with and would like to put the money in a ATC250r project I want to start.

RC Cars, parts, tools ETC.

I looked on EBAY and after not being on there for approx. 10 years it seems most everything is brand new and used items are pushed aside.

I remember a RC car vintage website where a guy paid $1500.00 for a Tamiya Super Champ (I have one) but can't find it anymore.

Thanks in advance if you can help.

I wish I knew what website that was.

Somewhere in storage I got an Associated RC-10 and a Tamiya Monster Beetle Ive had since the mid 80s

I could be way off base, but I would guess that certain vintage RC stuff could have some value to it.

I still have my associated RC-10 from the 1980s . full race houg graphite chassis , trail arm rear suspension kit , full bearings kit , fun times :lol:

Amazing some of the common interests on these forum.

20 years ago I sold my busted up Tamiya Bruiser at a garage sale for $20. Ouch....

I can't put values on stuff specifically, but I know from poking around vintage Tamiya stuff brings good money - especially the Sand Scorcher and Rough Rider.

I liked putting together the RC10 as much as I liked driving it.

I didn't have the graphite chassis though. Mine was the stock gold anodized tub type chassis which I later modded by cutting down the sides of the tub.

I remember when the speed controller was the mechanical wiper style operated by an additional servo before Futaba designed the electronic speed control.

IIRC, I even had to assemble the shock piston and valving. It came totally disassembled in the box. No battery pack or servos
