Mine has done a great job of holding down a shelf since 1996!

Shhh,...don't tell anyone...I think it's the best looking car Associated ever made.

There's plenty of worn out RC10's around to play with anyway.
Projects and shelfers:
Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...
