Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?

[Coelacanth]

I don't think what you see in Classifieds ads nowadays is in any way representative of the popularity of those cars from 25 years ago. It could just as easily mean more people wanted to keep their Hotshots and get rid of their RC10's. (That's probably not true either but you get the point.)

Where did they go?

It's faulty logic. See my edit above for what I mean.

I heard the molds for the pans are long gone... Seems like it was Curtis that said something about it on this forum somewhere, could be wrong.. I do know a friend of mine asked Cliff about the pan molds and he also said they were no longer available. Pretty sure it was about the same time as the big sale of the remaining pans from AE.

Well, I doubt they will be doing a re-release. Though, that would be amazing. Then we'd have dozens of threads complaining about it. They used the short "eared" bulkhead!

Making a new mold for the pan wouldn’t be too costly in China…

If it was made in China, would it be called the "LC10" in Engrish?

Back when the "team associated" forum was running they claimed to know the number of rc10's produced. IIRC, they said it was about 385,000. I'm not 100% on the number. They also weren't very clear on which models were included in that number.

All good discussion but still, why would they put that original advert on the first 2 pages of the June 2013 R/C Car Action??

to make you wonder just that?

everyone will know soon enough......

I dont think you will see a re/re I'm thinking just a ad to get us talking.

[scr8p]

well, if you're on this site, you don't need the threat of a re-issue to talk about old rc10's.

I'll be happy if it makes a few companies start producing hard to find parts.

Maybe they are getting ready to release the B5 and this is to get attention. Didn't Losi use the number of years since the Jrx2 for the 22? Maybe RC-10 (30) B5?
