I'm I the only who really really dislikes that body?

I'm not a fan of it either really.

No extra free body but Modelsport in the UK are selling theirs for £189.00 with free delivery....

Prices they are a'tumblin'....

Not that i am a collector hoarder but do you guys think despite the minimal build numbers that the classic will be pretty much useless to keep new or new built? Interested to get opinions from you all.. I am thinking the small build numbers could maybe make them quite rare in terms of all the rc10's built

its an rc10.....having one sitting in a box or sitting pretty on a shelf is never useless.

...........

i went to the hobby shop yesterday n ordered some j concepts stuff for a build and it looks like the diamond nose tubes are discontinued....After he (shop owner) told me that, i came home n it looks like no one has the black ones in stock anywhere...Tower says "discontinued" and amain only has the silver ones listed......So might be good for those that want any of that jconcepts stuff to stock up cause the rest of the hop ups might "suddenly disappear" like these did.

I just loaded up on the JC stuff, I had heard rumblings about them not continuing production on the parts. Saw some of the black nose tubes on ebay about 4 hours ago for like $11 and now they're gone

Anyone else have a source for OOS JConcepts parts besides the bay?

ebay would be the only way today...

So I learned that a battery with wires coming out of the end won't fit into the battery cup. What are others doing? I hate to cut the original cup to accommodate the wires.

Which chassis (A, B, etc)?

How are you mounting the battery, inline or transverse?

What type of battery?

Showing my ignorance (most of my experience is with 1980's stuff), but the chassis is the 40th anniversary gold chassis. Battery is mounted inline, and the wires stick out the end of the battery, preventing it from fitting. It's a 2S battery.

You wouldn’t have to do anything different with the battery cup if you switch out to a different pack that has the leads coming out the top instead of the side. A squared off shaped hard case pack would fit best as well.

This might be another option.
