I have a 1 lb spool of Kester solder that I bought when I was 12 yrs old that I just finished up. This new 1 lb spool has the potential to last me.... forever?

Listen...from the guy that traveled forward in the future to copy the AE 4WD RC10 and call it the 4 Ten years before it was released....

I received this little beauty. 7001 RC10T still in the shrink wrap. I'm not sure what to do with it. I already built a NIB RC10T and so I don't know if I deserve to open and build another. Collecting NIB kits isn't really my thing.

Edited:

I'm trying to determine a value range for this kit. All the AE rereleases are mudding the waters.

C'mon man!

Somewhere between $1 and $1,000,000 dollars! Sorry Lavigna, rules are the rules. Best bet is to search the bay and everywhere else, make a judgement call, and just ask what you want for it with an obo. It is true the rereleases don't help but It's still only worth as much as someone is willing pay.

They are Rare, and he had 2 sets!!!
Im trying to piece one together and after a few texts we caught up for an hour on the phone.
Seller was a depth of knowledge about Early Kyosho, and put me straight on Lazers, ZXR's and assisted me with parts and info on a Mid rebuild too, thanks Glenn, great guy, with a collection of parts that must fill a 20ft container. Hope i can return his generosity.
Also Mid saddle pack battery clamp straps and the missing motor and servo plate I need for my other ZX.

BTW if anyone has dimensions or an old Maxxum Chassis available could you please PM me?
Im having a real hard time finding a chassis.
Thanks

And the best part is he’s a kiwi too so no massive shipping costs for a change, and you might have seen him up at the GKR classic in Jan.

Crap! I forgot about that rule. My apologies. I will edit my previous post. Thanks!

So USPS really dropped the ball on this one. Package arrived in the US on the 12th and that's where my tracking stopped. Gave it a bit but never saw an update. Asked Exo and they said the hold up is likely the local Post Office. Called USPS where they said it had 2 notifications for "undeliverable" and the package was to be sent back to sender. Funny as one if the days was Easter Sunday. Regardless I saw no notices and someone was home the entire span of time. Anyway, tried calling my local Post Office where the automated system decided hanging up on me was the best course of action. Fine, I drive there during my lunch break. Thankfully the folks working the counter were super helpful and the package thankfully didn't leave the building and is now here. Also got some rpm jrx rear hinge pins in earlier in the day

I need to convert it back to a Futaba J and add a power switch, but pretty cool Competition Model Works ESC.
. Edit: it cleaned up pretty well

Got a couple white case Ace servos. They aren't particularly strong or fast but damn that looks sweet.

Nice!

They look similar to the white Kyosho Perfex servos.... except they haven't faded over time!

Agreed. As an added bonus, they likely have more torque and speed than an anemic Perfex servo as well.
