Not unexpectedly, it's a 6 gear kit. Likely with bushings as well. Spot the universals, they got that part right.

I'm on the fence with this one. While the concept of a carbon plate chassis is very cool, the RC10 Graphite car was universally rejected by the racing community bitd. Also, I've driven mine and it just doesn't handle as well as my tub cars.
It would be nice to add a Graphite re-re to the collection but I'll probably let this one go.

That would depend on your racing community. Oval racing was full of them.

Local dirt off road track was too. They weren't used much by the big names but weekend racers loved them

This is the ultimate 21.5 Heritage class racer. Well done AE!

Someone.....Factoryworks.com....would do well making the 48p conversion for this!

I hate to be this guy but where are you guys seeing this? The Associated website isn’t showing this kit - unless I have broken the internet. Which is completely possible because I can break some stuff.

If you search 6030 associated it should pop up through absolute hobbyz. It was prematurely added and if you see the pics and click them it won't go anywhere right now. Basically it's a leak, but if you read the details and study the pic, it seems pretty legit

All of these RC10 re-releases seem a bit rushed. Makes you wonder if they're trying to meet a quota.

Will be interesting to see if a b2 or b3 is coming or if it will only be tub cars and graphite chassis car.

Can I get a "scratch and dent" sale please. I mean really have that warehouse guy kick the hell out of the box for me and give me a damaged sale price at least what a similar car from another mfr. would sell for. Seems reasonable. How many kicks does it need to be $279? :lol:

I got $70 off my YZ-10 for a little nick on the box from Amain. Then I combined it with a $30 coupon and some customer rewards points.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

$100 off, feels better at $319 for sure.
