What is it now Team Associated?!

Free vehicle? Really?

dont get your hopes up too high, ive been pondering that one too and so far they haven't done any good deals for the vintage kits at all besides a clear kit. Chances are its just going to be a rtr cralwer or monster truck of some sort, something they are clearing out. They wont even let their team drivers buy the vintage line at discount, so for them to give one away cheap- its doubtful

That whole thing is way too open ended. Nothing is said about who chooses. I read that and immediately thought it is phrased as customer’s choice. They need to clarify a whole lot.

it is clarified a bit, you get a choice of around 4 vehicles, and 30 days to decide.

Is that deal only for the club members? I'm still seeing it listed for $118.

Yes, it is $59.99 for club members.

Hmm and no laser etching. Do i decide to buy one of these and do my own kinwalds cuts to be more accurate and have a spare nose for my 10T?

I've so far resisted purchasing any of the rere's. But this is something that has crossed my mind. If you are really doing a Kinwald, the hologram sticker and the laser etching would have to go. But then all the cuts.....

Something Scr8p covered in the YouTube overview of the Kinwald mods: the tail bend and motor guard one screw tap and keeping the cut angle continuity. That might be a detail that would require a fresh chassis/motor plate.

Well, not really. the cut actually lines up better on mine after i did the bend and used the center screw hole, It does look a bit wrong with the screw in the original right hand side though. I go over that more in my build thread. the rear motor plate never really line up right on RC10s and it seems you almost always have to pull something to get the holes to line up, even more so when you do the worlds bend and then try to force it to go back into the original holes.

Just saw that. I’m in agreement though that the cars probably aren’t going to be anything worth while. The debate in my head is not fun lol.

FB post today by Team Associated seems to heavily imply that a Stealth Car release is near.
Guessing this will be the first of the Vintage releases to top $500, probably more

'89? '91? If they keep the IFMAR Champs thing going, won't they have to do both!!?? I honestly don't know how I feel about it. All the work that went into the "privateer" replicas of both. Now BOOM, "big corporate" is gonna come in and drop the "official" version(s). Shrug.

Obviously we have to take AE's attention to detail with a grain of salt, but the picture suggests it will be a '91 Stealth, the text suggests it will be an '89 ... We'll see
