Only one thing is for certain, people will complain about it
Ive already given up, I'm stopping at the kinwald. If they ever start choosing quality over quantity I'll pick back up.

If there's any good news that can come out of all of this, it's that this place will benefit from it for many years to come.

Re: What is it now Team Associated?!
It's difficult for me to pass on some of these. I wasn't able to buy these back in the day and I don't like buying an OG one that is clapped out and needs a ton of work. Yeah, I wish they were still US made and higher quality but it's just not that way anymore.

Re: What is it now Team Associated?!
I would have liked to see some conversion kits, since there isn't a whole lot of differences in the rere kits.
Saves space and money, while appreciating the releases. Yeah, I stopped buying these kits too.
Looks like they should turn their attention to stocked parts to support the previous releases.

Re: What is it now Team Associated?!
After seeing the vid, I always gloss over that he raced it as a #3, always see it as #1 on our tribute builds. May have to change my numbers on the bodies....
But Ive never been into the box art, but I think i would really like this just this kit box for display!

Re: What is it now Team Associated?!
I have sent a few emails. Anyone know if they are going to release the Stealth Transmission Kit again? I mean we’re running these cars and maybe we’ll be interested in upgrading the 40th transmission right?

Re: What is it now Team Associated?!
That one looks decent. Granted I haven't done a dedicated search for RC10s, mainly oval pan cars and the older Losi stuff I want (and they are wanting ridiculous $ for them).badhoopty wrote: ↑Fri May 30, 2025 11:19 amtheres a bunch of available og rigs out there that arent clapped out. always has been... it was just the og nib/shelf quality rigs that had a higher value.DSaw78 wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 8:06 am It's difficult for me to pass on some of these.

Re: What is it now Team Associated?!
minty perfect og stuff was always a bit pricey, but youre paying for condition at that point and putting it on the shelf. old runner rc10s are a dime a dozen, and you usually get some better parts on em over stock.DSaw78 wrote: ↑Fri May 30, 2025 11:48 amThat one looks decent.

i used to seach religiously on ebay for new listings about every 30 minutes back when i was more into it all. got a LOT of sweet deals for lazily/uninformed listings that didnt properly describe the item. like 'gold rc car', 'gold toy car', the ever classic 'team associates', or even 'old rc car'.
