Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Another limited release?
Congratulations Fan RC, you are safe.
Please keep molding RC10 parts; we will need them.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
This new rear bulkhead missing the lower section makes me wonder if Fan RC parts are being used in the AE kit.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I guess I haven't come across those rere parts yet.

Call me cynical, but the recall the CE released a few years back:LurkingCAT wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 6:00 am Is the intention making a car meant for the vintage racing scene, followed by part turnover and additional sales. Or just a run of kits with next to nothing of spares...

Replacement parts and spares were extremely limited in experience, even after long being discontinued they're hard to find as "collectors" snapped them all up.Get the jump on the competition.
Go RC off-road racing with the leaders. Complete RC10 Classic kits, replacement parts and spares will be available through model car racing's most extensive dealer network. Take the challenge and build yourself a winner, Team Associated's RC10 Classic.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Had to pre-order one. I have regretted not getting the first re-re and missed out on the clear.
I have built almost every other re-re out there at this point. The only thing that would tempt me after this would be a Jammin' Jay reproduction

The pre-order website says "May 2024", we'll see...Brendan2904 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 10:04 am There is some speculation on some of the Facebook Groups but nothing concrete. Some say a week, some say 2 weeks, others are saying December. Does anyone know what the projected shipping date is?

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
It doesn't make any sense to me either, as the dimensions of both the Parma and Bolink should be nearly identical, as far as width and length.
The correct wheels are another expensive and difficult adventure.
Figured I'd add The Dead Pool [1988] vette chase here, in case anyone hadn't seen it yet. Poor quality video, I would make a better one for Youtube, but they'd probably block it, or take it down.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Only 4 digits on that production number. Pre-order 9,999 and you own the market! Unless AE knows about hexadecimal, then you will have to buy 65,536.
Seriously, though, is that a clue? I have no idea what would constitute a normal production run for an RC kit. It doesn't seem like much of a restriction. It seems like a "build as many as people will buy" number.
Traxxas probably sells that many Slashes every month. Schumacher probably hasn't sold that many Cougars in 30 years.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Evening Guys .. got the heads up yesterday I'm in the UK so kept clocking Modelsport etc.. but by 11 our time they'd sold out.. Gggrr
So contacted AE USA direct.. and I was kinda expecting it:
Hello Jon,
AE will not be able to ship the #6007 kit outside North and South America.
Eventually the kit will make their way to the stores and distributors around the world. You will need to place you order/preorder with your favorite local shop what will be order the kits.
Currently, we don’t have a confirmed date in the system the estimated arrival time is mid to late May.
At this time I don’t have confirmation if they are going to be making any replacement parts.
Read the bottom line.. as before

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Just pre-order'd through Amain.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I just preordered from amain as well as AE.
I never got a chance to buy the CC from AE.
Well see which one ships first.
