Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action
I think Associated would be completely nuts NOT to re-release this. Tamiya are successfully selling even the most mundane re-release models, that don't have nearly the following and history of this car.
I would buy one, and I would hope it's drilled for the Stealth. (Well, as long as it doesn't end up being gold-plated plastic)
I will try and not think about it until I hear it's confirmed....!

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action
I think a good question is, "How much would you pay for one"? Tamiya's re-re's are, at least IMHO, way overpriced. But evidently Tamiya fanatics think the price is worth it to buy re-re's that often have a good many things changed from the originals. If a re-re RC10 costs $350, would you buy one? What about $400? $500?

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action
I would be all over a $350 re-release. It would be awesome to build a new one from the box again!

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action
Well, whatever the reason, it's nice to see them acknowledging their roots. I had been giving up on them as Traxxas Lite ever since the Monster GT.
What I would really love to see is an all-new car, but with the spirit of the original: comes as a kit, needs more than a screwdriver to slap it together, a little rough-hewn, but very rewarding if you take the time to get it right. There isn't much "hobby" left in this hobby; i'd like to see a nice challenging new kit.

This is why I dislike traxxas products so much, they started this fad...or rather, changed the landscape-

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action
this is a problem with the hobby. people pay crazy prices so the company making the product make prices even higher .hawgfanman wrote:I would be all over a $350 re-release. It would be awesome to build a new one from the box again!
