In addition to the wrong shocks, the kit will likely include bushings not bearings, the nylon could be very white and it probably won't come with a printed manual.
But you know what?
I DON'T FREAKING CARE!
If the quality is like the 40th (and why wouldn't it be), it will be an awesome addition to the collection!
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
Wow! Well, I've held out long enough and passed on every rere rc10 that has come out, but a rere rc10t would be a must have for me. Always had used or hand me down rc10's bitd, the 10t was special to me being the first "new" kit I ever owned and got mine back in '91. Definitely keeping tabs on this one!

I am not an AE guy, but the 10T or similar-spec buggy (black pan, green shocks, white nylon) would be the hardest to resist.
One of you collectors will trade me a Ford truck body for the Chevy-esque kit body, right? I can't commit 2 blasphemies on a single kit.
I woudl have been excited for the green shocks as well. The ones from my original team car are still mint. All the 'hard' coated shocks are scuffed up. Since they are already making v2 shocks bodies. it wouldn't have been a big stretch to make them correct.
Will this have a v1 top shaft or a b4 style one? They are already fitting un-threaded shock bodies. Was there any view of the screws? Would they be the black steel screws?

I'll make a wild guess and say B4 shaft and same screws as 40th but maybe they will surprise us.
FanRC makes the shocks - 64 bucks for a full set. I'm tempted.

I've held out this far, but the 10T classic will be the one that does it for me as well. I'm in for this one.
This might be the one I buy boxes for my kids to build. The CC was a fun build. The 40th is a box of mint condition spare parts for my current 6 gears.
I could actually see my kids being able to bash the rc10t's. It looks like associated made this for the shelf with the gold shocks and v1 slipper.
Now it would be excellent if they went back to the og gear box and idler
Wow very interesting! I’m mostly into buggies but funny enough I just this year put together an original 10T after holding out for a long time. And now this tidbit surfaces! It’s tempting in part for the skinny fronts as all I have are wides.
Is it me or is the enthusiasm level greater for the truck than the buggy?
Maybe it's because this is the first re-release for the 10T?
Anyway, I hope AE will be ready and stock enough kits to fill all orders.
This is my 1991 rc10t also my very first hobby grade rc truck. Been in the hobby a while and decided to make a race ready version with an ecx boost full metal tranny and traxxas driveshafts cc sidewinder 5700 aluminum shock towers lungsfered...

Well, I recently caught the bug after my Dad and I saw the 40th RC10. I just had to have a vintage gold pan too and then the rabbit hole of various editions. I went a little crazy and bought 2 a pretty mint Cadillac and a RC10 Graphite that I think...

Welcome dude, great buys. Looks like you know how to pick them 8)
A brief pop-up shower this afternoon left the track a little wetter than I'd expected.
However, traction was exceptional and a good time was had by all. Even managed to carry the front wheels through certain sections - and that never happens.

I just can't help myself,not when vintage Losi' are going at such low prices-Yet another eBay score.
This time a very clean JRX2,complete with radio for a whopping US$30.
It'll clean up REAL nice...The part I love is that body-From what I can see it...

Thanks for reminding me that I need some decent servo tape,Bongo!
Good ol' 3M.
I love that company! Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. :D
The JRX Pro had a longer chassis and thus,room for another servo mounting post.
I'm sure they came with two...
My last RC10 was a gold pan which I bought new in 1987. I always loved that car but got out of the hobby by '89. Now my 6yr old son has an interest in RC cars so I bought a lot of 3 Team Associated Cars (1 gold pan RC10, 1 RC10T & the 3rd unknown;...
