So rather than doing a re-re of something like the Team car, Associated is planning to do a re-re of one of the rarest and most sought after RC10 kits?! As a collector that really pisses me off.
as a collector it sucks. but with the way prices are going, now i might be able to afford one.
they keep doing this, this is shte second time they put a part number of a future release in a manual. the put the b5 one in another manual. then promptly removed it. there having fun with internet and seeing if thier followers are following.

and this attitude pisses me off! As a collector, why do you care? Or is it because you think your investment (non collector) will drop in value? It doesnt change an original kit, and original is still, and always will be original. This type of discussion goes on and on, and from where I sit, the only people who are pissed off with re-re's, are those who think they are gonna make $$$ someday (again, non collector)
You name it - and I want it If it's Old Skool, It's Kool
I'm usually a fan of re-re's in general, regardless of the brand. But world-car wise, this time, I have mixed emotions for reasons I can't really explain. Maybe because rere-ing a true racing icon looks a bit like sacrilege...

Why? The original is still the original, and it will still be the most sought after. It won't be any less rare because Associated are bringing out a new version which will have several differences just like the Classic.
A little side project.
I’ve had this in a drawer for a while and decided to get it cleaned.
It’s quite impressive what a thorough clean can result in.
Boiling water.
Simple green.
Toothbrush and pipe cleaners.

Final piece added.
The correct RPM springs.
If you need a pair, just send an email to RPM. They still have a stash.
I've putting together an all-in-one kit for those that want to get their boxart rere Kinwald cars a little closer to the original, or for those who are looking to make a correct replica. The kit will contain:
1 - Front shock tower in 2.5mm 3k woven...

I kinda doubt it. Too high of a material cost and I doubt the demand is there to make it worthwhile.
I need some help remembering the details from back in the day. So I have an RPM kit still in the bags never opened and I just don't have any love for it as an RPM car. Does the RPM kit actually duplicate a certain one off car or are some of the...

yes, I had one of those too bitd, flipped the front around to put the tower in front, still have some of the og deck standoffs in my box. I never detailed it to be like masamis but that is how I am leaning. I guess it's just a matter of committing...
I was just wondering if anyone is still making these chassis kits, either the NIX91 or the Justin/Fred version? Maybe someone has a spare that they'd like to sell or trade?
Thanks in advance

Actually, as another option, if you order a full set of 91 Stealth parts (Niki's for example) and this book by Steve Husting (the photos provide an excellent reference), you have pretty much everything needed to design your own chassis plates. It's...
Hi there, I recently inherited a Team Associated RC10 Worlds Car buggy from a recently deceased cousin. The car is unfortunately in a damaged state, and I would very much like to get it repaired to full working order due to the centimental value of...
