Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I like this better than the CC. Very cool!

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
This is meant to be a replacement for the CC. The CC may actually be discontinued

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
That makes some sense, being a replacement, if they use the same part molds with polycarbonate changing to nylon injection.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Looks like that from the pictures. I put in for a pre-order but I may cancel. I have enough rc10's; I may just buy an empty box and put it on my shelf with a Cadillac on top and call it a day.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
And you already save $170! Of course you will have to wait until it comes out before AE will tell you what they are actually going to charge you.
Hope it ends up on pre-order through a reputable dealer soon.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
AE is charging the preorders on this one, unlike the CC where they notified you when it was ready and then marked them up. It's $379, paid in full when you order it.
I prefer to order through amain but with a limited release and not knowing numbers I didn't want to chance it.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
$380 for a NIB RC10 is ok with me. To me, it's worth the +$60 premium over the CC price.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Definitely looks like the "not limited edition" CC was in fact limited edition, I got a canned email from Associated indicating that I "missed" that release...JosephS wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 2:59 pm This is meant to be a replacement for the CC. The CC may actually be discontinued

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Yeah, if you were lucky enough to not get caught in their $319.99 -> $399.99 bait and switch scheme...Frankentruck wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 4:01 pm $380 for a NIB RC10 is ok with me. To me, it's worth the +$60 premium over the CC price.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
A couple other odd observations...
1. Seems like they are drop shipping these kits as the order site is a dedicated shopify account not associated with their normal website ordering platform (and associated accounting).
2. I sure hope it is just bad lighting, but the front caster blocks look like the terrible coloring that was on some of the other re-re parts in the last re-release (like the stealth tranny halves):
At least the balls cups are white and the stamped nose plate is awesome!

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I am going to wait this one out a little I think. I REALLY don't want to order direct through AE; as I think they will figure out a way to screw people over somehow. I am also going to put my money on this not being all that limited; as I think AE will sell as many as they can and then stop production when sales numbers start to drop.
I was right about the CC being limited when AE said it wasn't, so hopefully I can predict this one just as well.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I was looking to see if any spare parts are being made available and came across this. Available late May? What the heck?!?
