This is the answer i got
Dear Mr. Erik Westlund,
At present, there aren't any plans for RPM parts for the "new" RC10 from Associated. However, that can change at any time. If we see a strong enough demand for currently available RPM RC10 parts, we may decide to rebuild some of those old molds and re-release them. Unfortunately, many of those older molds have been either recycled or destroyed, which means they would need to be remanufactured. We would need to see some strong sales with the few RC10 items we still have available to convince management to do such a thing. With a little luck, hopefully we'll have something available for you soon.
Take care and thank you for your interest and support of RPM products. If you have any other questions or comments, please feel free to send us another e-mail.

I wonder how many petition signatures we'd need?
Say NO to "Dirty Danglers" and YES to the RC10!

Hate to be a sick in the mud, but didn't we do this before, and got the same response? I highly doubt anything will change now that there is a 2500 more RC10's added to the hundreds of thousands that are already out there. Last time I emailed them they wouldn't even consider making white versions of the parts they still make in colors. I don't think they are too concerned about the vintage market. Would love to be proved wrong, but I don't see it happening.

in the almost 8 years of this forum, countless emails about wanting them to remake some of their old parts, what has it accomplished? a small run of shorty front bumpers...... only in black. as justin said, you can't even get them to do a run of white parts for molds they already have (team car arms for example). why? because they don't sell. so don't get your hopes up.

Has anyone ever checked with Andy to see if he's got his old molds left?
