Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Mine arrived as well... and had me worried...
Thankfully it was unharmed, would have been nice to have either a form fitted box (like Amain does) or a few bubble packages...

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
As Jeff mentioned the manual is not included... Not that any of us need a manual at this point but I thought I'd give the QR code a go and grab it anyway...

PS> Details matter, really, no printed manual? Really?!?... They could have done a really cool 'commerative' manual for folks. What REALLY would have been cool is to have serialized the manuals to the chassis numbers... Just thinkin' out loud

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I can’t fathom why AE did a digital-only manual. What could have possibly been gained by eliminating it? Someone there made the wrong call.duckhead wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 3:07 pm As Jeff mentioned the manual is not included...

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
That's awesome, ROFL!!!
I was looking at the chassis sticker and thought it looked easily reproduceable. Serializing the manual or having some other way (certificate of authenticity) to verify the number of a kit would make these even more special.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
What really would be cool is if there was a manual available at all! Surprised there's nothing posted with people starting to receive their kits!

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
The classic clear is the exact same kit minus the color changes, so that manual would be just fine

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Amain says they have more than 10, on ebay right now, for $379 and free shipping.

For those who didn't get one, or want another.
This kills the scalper.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
Expectation that not enough of the kits will be opened to warrant printing a manual.
Besides, real men don't need instructions.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I saw that, 3 sold then suddenly they are gone. Looks like the scalpers bought Amain's entire inventory.GreenBar0n wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 4:41 pm Amain says they have more than 10, on ebay right now, for $379 and free shipping.

Re: RC10 Classic 40th anniversary
I watched that happen too. Wondering why Amain ended their auction, if they still have more than 10 available.
I'm order 2628, placed the order just before midnight PST, on April 15. My label has been printed, but still no expected delivery date has been given at the tracking number provided; they're supposed to be shipping from near here, not sure what's going on.

I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.
