Think I'll prob get one of these.. I'm guessing Its going to be ball diff up top & no slipper? not stealth..
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.
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.

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

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...
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!

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.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.
The red/white arrow points to the location on the boxart body where the decal is too wide, and it won't stay stuck to the body. The red arrow shows how the decal bunches up in the rear corners.

Should've paid more attention to the masking lines. Going to have to spray some PS-5 in a small dish, and use a brush to fix those shabby lines.
Well, here it is. I've added bearings and the bellcrank steering. I'd like to add some vintage-looking turnbuckles. I painted it Pactra Firey Orange Metallic. It looks sorta boxart, but I wanted to make it stand out a little but still look vintage-y.
Anyone else watch these?

There are several interviews and lots of history. There are several episodes with hopefully more to come, soon. I found it fascinating.
