"WE WANT MORE"!!! Preach it brother!! RC10T! As hot as this vintage market has been over the last few years, no one has re. Released any stadium trucks.

True that. Where is the love for Stadium Trucks? We need an RC10T rerelease. Also, maybe a RC10 tribute much like the Kyosho JJ Ultima.

One of my biggest regrets was not buying the rc10 re-release. Great video, thanks

That transmission is something special

@RCRetro

6 ай бұрын

it most certainly is. There is a 3rd party company out there that is reproducing the stealth trans...

Just picked up a cc, but I would definitely purchase a re-re-release. I'd buy 4.

I am still waiting to get mine, I hope it actually gets sent and soon! I really want to build one from a nib kit! It was kind of a bonehead move to stick the unprotected body right onto the aluminum chassis to get all scuffed up in transit. I really do hope they respond to this release and start making some other re-release kits. Who knows. I am glad you got yours already Ari and it does look super cool!

My first car was an RC10...I think I was 13? I remember how frustrated I was with some of the harder parts of the build, but man, what an accomplishment when I finally finished it.

Enjoyed every second of this video 👍👍

One with a Stealth, better turnbuckles, gold/orange pan would be a similar release as a Kyosho legends. What you said about addressing the shortcomings as Kyosho does a great job in that regard with their re-re (Tamiya not so much)

They "Team Associated" are not catering to the runner customers 😢 with the RC10 there playing hard ball , I mean first the 2013 limited edition and now a decade later this is released as a display piece then five months down the track they are now releasing a 40 th limited edition gold pan basically a display piece again , this clear edition would of been great if it had been released post new Gold Pan 40th edition with proper nylon parts maybe world car wheels and large wing and with that silver chassis and as a unlimited runner release it would of distance itself abit from the gold pan 84, just my opinion , love what you said about the demands by the way , thanks.

@@anthonyborg4399 that’s the same answer I got when I emailed them. I just paid a local 3D printer guy to make an RPM ish period correct bumper for mine and he was really reasonable. I may have him make me some white parts and see how the quality is. He uses the high quality PETG and only charged me $8 for the bumper

The RC10 CC body is the Schrödinger’s cat of rc. It’s both scratched and not scratched as long as the box is never opened.

That's what I'm saying, the RC-10 was the most build able chasis I've ever seen. So many conversions for it.thi😢nk about it,,,why did they put extra holes in the chasis for a stealth tranny,hmmm,interesting 😮

The only thing I've ever really hated about the RC10 is the box shows a platinum or silver gray looking shock, and the kit has gold shocks. I'm not a fan of the gold shocks. The QA stuff is not surprising but they should have caught these issues. Countersunk screws on the bottom, def should have been addressed. My guess is they would have needed separately tooling to countersink both types of fasteners which means a 2nd run of the chassis thru the machine that drills those holes. Cost saving.

I wish they would release the 93 worlds edition again

Hope to get mine. How is it to start the screws in those clear parts?

Very cool however I was expecting it to be fully clear

What tool did you use to install those clips into outdrive gears? The tool in the video has red handles.

Great video and insight! I had a blast building mine. Associated has been pretty responsive about replacing the damage bodies if you wanted to go that route. On the servo link to bellcrank, using a countersink on the top and bottom of the hole makes it easier to insert the z-bend. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the body.

@RCRetro

Yes I think I'm going to reach out to AE and see about the body.. Thanks for the tip about the z-bend. Good to know for the next RC10 rerelease... if there is one. Fingers crossed.

sa weet! Hope mine isn't scratched!

Did you feel bad after you gave Snow White the poison apple?

Nice vid, good to see a build of it, i thought it would come with bearings, so i better get a set orderd 😉 i can see the 6 gear gold pan coming next year, after the prototype vehicle, comes the real deal 😁 and they have said somethings coming next year. I think everyone will have the body issue, but should be easly sorted. Got another month atleast to wait in the uk for this kit, so its lost a little appeal to me. But its still getting thrown on the track 😎

These car are hard to get. I somehow managed to get one. My understanding is they will only have 2 production runs of these cars. The first one has already happened. I have heard there will be one more in January and that is it. Also, the price has increased on these cars too. I just wish that these cars were made here in the USA like they used to be. I guess that is a lost cause. Thoughts?

These are cool. I’d leave the body clear but put the stickers on it. It would definitely be cool to get a new rere or 10T or possibly a 1/16 scale to compete with the Losi buggy or truck.

Just as I suspected, Why can’t we make a clear flexible strong plastic that’s just as strong as the old cream plastic. It’s a No go for me if the clear plastics are rigid and crack easily. I want to run it with brushed hand wound low turn modifieds.... bummer! I’m predicting these clear plastics will become very brittle and will break easily in say 10-15 years , even as shelf queens.
