The yellow wheels ..... I'd be interested to know who started the yellow wheel craze, and why. It's not like it's just Durango, TLR, everybody, is doing it. And they're butt-ugly! My guess is Losi. Losi went all-in with the neon-colored everything. :x Yeah, but they had all kinds of neon - blue, gr...

Well, crap - they only made the original RC10 in numerous variations for 10 years and didn't see fit for a model number change.

Good enough to stay in production 2 years?

Wasn't the B2 like the worst RC10 ever?

also, some food for thought, think about how many tamiyas and rc10's were sold bitd and think about what cars are selling the best right now. if i were gonna put money into a collectors car id buy a few nib slash 2wd's. in 20 years that'll be the cars to lust after. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :l...

If AE does a good job with their updates to the 6 gear, there's no reason it should be hard to build. And yes, I have built a 6 gear. Why are people excited? .You can buy and build a brand new Rc10 and not feel bad about running it .There's a chance this will spawn re-releases of later Rc10's .Part...

Regarding the "pre-order": Is there anything we must do differently than a normal "back order" purchase through Tower Hobbies???. It's not a "normal purchase" until they come in stock. You're not actually charged until they ship it. When you pre-order or back order som...

Is everybody excited to have a new RC100 that they can run and not be afraid of scratching and breaking, or are people more excited to have a new box to put on the shelf to collect dust as an "investment"? All this talk and concern about limited numbers begs the question. Inquiring minds ...

I think as far as fit and finish the new kits are better, less hand finishing. I agree 100% the older kits were more fun to build. The new cars also work much better.

That's what I was wondering.

Heck with that, I want to know why they're not calling it the RC10B1.1

Where'd you order it from, Hobbytown RUSSIA?

Surprised it didn't self-combust, or something else bad happen, having left it plugged in like that all this time.

"Why didn't they include ceramic bearings?" :lol: I've seen that posted on more than one forums in the last year. I can remember, back in the day, I used to build cars for people on the side. Once I asked my LHS why they didn't carry the RC10 w/bearings and instead usually only had the bu...
