Some good news on backordered rc10 bodies

Post by **aconsola** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 6:47 am

I posted a question on the AE message board
http://www.teamassociated.com/racerhub/b4_talk/b4_talk.htm

*****************************************
Your name: Anthony
Electric kit referenced:Original RC10 series
Comments: Bodies for the original rc10 like the viper(#6121) protech (#6160) and protechII(#6173) have been on backorder for a while. Are they finally out of production, or will they be available again? there are a lot of die-hard rc10 fans waiting for these and ebay prices are getting out of hand.

Sorry for the delay, Anthony; I do not have a time frame for you. We have had to move equipment around and are still getting situated in our new building. We should be back at full capacity here very shortly. The bodies are not discontinued and still sell very well. ************************************

That is good news. I was fearing that I was going to have to take a home equity loan out on my house so that I could get a couple of viper bodies to finish off my buggies.

ProtechII are back at Tower... I just ordered 10 of those... I contacted Associated directly also and they said they had 99 Protech II left... Now I need to sell stuff to pay back my credit card

Ya, I am going to get FIFTY. Wait, no, FIVE HUNDRED!

EDIT: Only ordered one. Kinda sucks when you have a chassis and no body for it

It is really cool how you can STILL buy these... how many years later?

Its because of guys like this that we can still buy those bodies... Keep buying them by trucks guys!!!!!!!!!! As long as they are selling enough they'll keep making them!

i bought close to 30 awhile back. i've since used them all but one or two...

protech 2 is by far my least favorite body followed closely by the viper and sidewinder. and if the mirage body was still available i'd still like the first protech the best.

i wouldnt buy them with the intention of just having them, but for future projects. i just kinda know i got quite a few more builds in me before i get bored.
