That's what I was afraid of. I'll make do with what's available, but I do wish I could at least track one down that matched the dull-orange you see on something like the Masami's 93 Yokomo.

I'd like to pick up a couple of the JCR molded wings that I've seen quite a few members use (it seems Masami used them often), but I'm not seeing the one's with the shorter vertical stabs anywhere. I know Ruben at Rubrix sells them, but they're the taller variety. For those running these, are you ju...

This makes me want to source a Hydra Drive and all the extra bits to really take it to the next level. That said, I'm impressed AE went as far as they did to get it 90% of the way there. My favorite release from them thus far, for sure. Edit: Eh, maybe not on the Hydra Driver considering what they'r...

Pardon my ignorance as I'm still coming up to speed on the RC10 lineage, but if going off the post that Ruben made about the specs, is this a more faithful replica vs. the World re-re they did a few years back? And what's the story with the iridium infused tower?

Got it - so even the x-rings for the modern AE race buggies are still the same size/fit well in the re-release RC10's? Good to know! Thanks for the suggestions.

I'd like to load up on some replacement shock o-rings and was curious if there are aftermarket options that you folks like to run vs. the stock orange? Are the re-release shafts 3mm in diameter?

Thanks!

Much appreciated! I'll need to get that aluminum brake adapter and some other goodies ordered up from you.

Did the AE engine come with a decent manual? I'm hoping to get extras ordered and I'm curious which glow-plugs and nitro to order. I can't tell from your photos, but I'm guessing it didn't come with the plug? Came with a glow plug and nothing else. No manual. Thanks for confirming. Perhaps it's my ...

The K&B I have is the .18 with the cast head, but I ordered a machined head as well for it. I already had the engine here. I also ordered another one with the machined head and a plain backplate off the plane engine to get rid of the pull start, but the pull start clears fine. It hangs down a l...

SG crank will be difficult, I *think* you can cut the crank and make them work, but its been along time and I could be wrong. Also the rear exhaust will make header choice difficult. I went with a USA made K&B engine from Mecoa, but had to order the machined cylinder head as mine came with the ...

I've been anxiously awaiting this since it was announced. It sounded like kits were being delayed, but to my surprise, they popped into stock at Amain this evening if anyone was waiting to grab one. It's been a busy (and expensive) month or two with all of the re-release kits coming out.

Looks like it just popped into stock at Amain for the US folks. Tried hard to resist - but no such luck.

If a guy wanted to "cheat" and use one of the included motor stickers to replicate a vintage brushed setup, what might be the best currently available motor to grab as far as aesthetics?

Thanks. It looks like trimming is necessary if running those shocks. I was hoping to leave the pre-cut body alone. Thanks for confirming that for me.
