Well it's going to remain sealed away in it's time capsule. Original plans were for 2 rere's so I could build one and hoard one... but I got actual vintage ones to restore so didn't need 2 :)

None of the above. Holding out for a Graphite chassis rere. Probably won't happen though. Not really into the metal tubs after recently playing with carbon.

Race it, build link above

Thinking about buying a 2nd to rob for parts. I snagged a never run graphite with a poor dye job. All those parts are now black and would look perfect on a fresh gold pan. All the fresh white parts would look great on the graphite chassis :)

I will keep one NIB, one shelfer and run one. Not sure what direction the runner will take yet.

There's a gravel pit just 1½miles from my house and the beach is only 10 miles to the west
and there's even a forest with mountain bike trails 10 miles to the north :wink:

That''s where I'll drive most of the time

I voted limited use but that's for the one I will build. The other one I am keeping sealed up for now.

I am really curious about aftermarket stuff like Jconcepts pieces for the rc10 classic, but not sure if I would get those parts for the one sealed in the box or build another from the re-re parts and aftermarket.

I voted for regular running because these cars were meant to be run. The RC10 is a car I remember well as a kid as it was in every RCCA but I never had any interest in getting one back then (too focused on Tamiya cars) and certainly never drove one. Fast forward ~25 years and my interest in the RC10 increased so I had been contemplating a used original vs the re-re since I pre-ordered mine last June concluding that it made more sense to run a re-re than an original so I don't have to worry about an "original" getting thrashed not to mention it gives me the opportunity to build a NIB gold pan which is priceless. I'm no hoarder and do not have a long-standing love for AE/RC10 like some so I ordered ONE re-re to run and will not be ordering another no matter if/when they decide to re-re the next generation (stealth, graphite, CE, etc). That kind of discipline keeps my collecting in check and keeps the wife happy. :D
