Re: What are your plans with your re-release RC10T?

Very very cool.

I just went to the Holmes site and saw the vintage line of brushed motors. That looks perfect. Thanks for the suggestion, I just might have to pick two of these up.

Re: What are your plans with your re-release RC10T?

Already sourced an Andy's body painted in box art/ad art. Back in 1991, my mom got me a Trinity Slot Machine for my Blackfoot at the LHS. Its in surprisingly good shape and think it would be perfect for this build. It's the first one with the sky blue label. I have a Radiolink received, going to be ...

Re: Are we ready to add an RC10T ReRe section?

The manual states we have to supply our own pinion.

What kind of pinion is suggested for the truck?

I have a really nice vintage Trinity Slot Machine '91 that I could put in there.

Re: Are we ready to add an RC10T ReRe section?

Pre Ordered mine direct from AE.

Everything went smooth earlier this month with the 40th car.

I wonder if these are going to be numbered as well.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary

I am pretty good at painting and doing bodies, but I am new to AE and the RC10 so I bought this one. Came with real netting attached to the roll cage. https://i.ibb.co/xDLtbTT/vvv.webp That looks great! Did it include the painted driver? Hi Doug, it did NOT come with the driver. I plan on painting ...

Re: MRC Thunder King Ads

In 1993/94 I actually saw MRC demo the Thunder King into the "pow" cinder block wall at the iHobbyExpo.

I still can't believe that was over 30 years ago. I was only 15.

Re: MRC Baja King Ads

I love the MRC World Scale items. I always thought they were 1/7 scale as well. I have a really nice Thunder KIng runner and a NIB Thunder King and a NIB Desert Thunder. The previous owner of the Thunder King I have that is NIB came with metal heat treated RC4WD gears. Which was part #Z-G0048 Does a...

Classic / 40th Tires

I remember watching some old school videos in which Jay would race on Tamiya tires in the mid - 80s. What size are on the original/classic/40th? The original AE manual mentions the #53 Super Champ tires which I believe are Frog tires which have been in production for ages. Would Frog rear tires work?

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary

Looks cherry.

Did you purchase the silver pan separately?

What ESC/motor/servo are you going with?

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary

A main back in stock for $379.99 on eBay.

I wonder how many of these they made.

They probably have another 75.

I am now revising my estimate to 7k
