I see these are discontinued already by most places and eBay has them for $350+ now. Did they sell out that quickly??
Will they be re released again with another run???
They just came out for Pete's sake,I was looking forward to getting one near Christmas time or in the spring when taxes come in.
This is most disappointing that eBay scalpers already got their little mitts on them already.
Sorry for the rant.

From what I've read there won't be more runs of the 'classic' kit, however the door may be open for later versions of the car (eg CE, team car etc) which would be great to see.
Associated did state it was a limited edition run, although understandably many people (including me) were sceptical about this statement at the time.
Unfortunately in this particular case it would seem that snooze = lose.
As much as it hurts, it might pay to snap one up at $350 or so if you can, as they may get alot higher still.
I guess I really snoozed and lost as I had no clue it was even coming out, I have been out of this for some time.
I just discovered this car being out only 2 weeks ago by accident by randomly picking up a R/C Car Action magazine at B&N to see what was new in the hobby and I saw the two page ad layout and I just about fell over when I saw it......
I had a new one in '88 that I raced on and off and I had a RC10T new in '94 when they first came out.
I got an old buggie that I pieced together a few years ago and I dyed the parts black because they looked like crap in white and I always wanted a stock box art looking buggie with white parts.
Well, I just started piecing together the new classic white parts, new body, and decals from Tower and A main hobbies to change mine all over to white parts. I got most everything I need.

You can still get them at ModelsportUK for £209 GBP = $338,95 USD
They show good stock
Regarding the UK vs US prize
We pay import tax on everything that comes from Non EU countries
So for us that's still a very reasonable prize

back when I mail ordered/export from UK I'd get it VATfree... larger retailers hold know about that

Ahh so you actually paid close to the US prize for it ?
Am I getting this right ?
Does anyone know what is different about the classic that allows modern batteries to be mounted?
1) Is the battery cup mounting position different or does the chassis have a different hole positions?
2) Why is the bulkhead bottom cut out - strictly for taller batteries?
I would like to mod an original runner and want to make sure I order the right parts.
1) the battery cup is moved forward against the servo, the cup itself is the same, the mounting holes for it are moved on the chassis.
2) i think that is exactly it.

So, back long ago when I was in middle school and bashing around with my RC10 CE and regularly reading RC Car Action, I seem to remember a how-to published on how to modify the 6-gear transmission in order to reduce internal friction. I don't really...

here it is:
you can do it two ways, running a spacer inside the outdrive where the inner non flanged bearing went, or with a sleeve on the outside of the outdrive behind the 3/8 x 5/8 bearing.
Hi guys. Here is my Team Associated World's Car re-release. I completed the build last year (Sept. 2016). Some of you might remember seeing it. I haven't done anything to it since then, and it has only been driven a couple times. It was a really fun...

Savox can be loud, I almost always use the same model, some make noise and others not a peep. Go figure. I saw a review online that showed Turnigy 1258 is basically identical but around $40. I may try one.
do they give full PDF archives with pictures or just rsandom pages?

so you have to pay $20 a year for this? Or does $20 pay for life? I subscribe to the magazine now, they should give it to me for free lol
the sub is $20 per year. but once you download them you have them. It is quite a large amount to download...
Anyone remember Jeepinator(sp?) from the RCCA forums? He was a huge ae fan, and I still remember him buying the first production graphite RC10, and he had many other sweet RC10's. Man I was jealous of him. And Im also jealous of many on these...

Well I'll give you a lesson the handful of dirt oval racers (myself included) have learned. The way to get the coverage you're looking for us certainly not by being negative about what you HAVE received. From any magazines side of it, we look at not...
I’ve been searching and searching with no luck finding the picture I’m looking for. I was about to start buying some old magazines on eBay but at $9.99-$15.00 a pop plus shipping that’s an expensive gamble.
I’m looking for the full page...

If you look at the picture on a phone and hold your arm out it kinda looks burgundy.
