Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
And then people will just complain about the quality of kit bearings, like they do with all modern kits it seems, or gripe about the cost of the kit if quality bearings are included............... round and around it goes, it never seems to end.
When you order your kit, order a set of bearings at the same time = done!

I've seen that posted on more than one forums in the last year.Timmy2Tracks wrote:"Why didn't they include ceramic bearings?"
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 bushing kit in stock. And they told me it was because for every bearing car they sold, they sold 10 cheaper ones. They didn't want customers walking away because they couldn't afford the more expensive model, so they just kept loose bearings for sale on the side.

Most people these days don't want to spend more than $200 -$300 on an RTR. Try to explain why the kit version for the same price is better. Add the price of ceramics on top and nobody other than hard core racers would buy a $400+ kit.

Re: It's official: the RC10 Classic limited release
My original RC10 was ordered in November of 1987 and I didn't get it until the first week of April, 1988! A 3-month backorder is a dream compared to that one!!rcrob wrote:Been reading this thread for a couple days now, the interest is a bit mind-boggling, and the chatter for a car that won't be available for probably 3 months is stunning -
- but I wonder how long until the crying, cursing, and complaining commences when guys try to build a 6-gear.

The heck with ball bearings, given the feeling of time travel, I want to know why the kit doesn't come with a flux capacitor?

Chinese bearings in a Chinese car sounds good to me.RC10th wrote:The cheap Chinese bearing are terrible in comparison to good quality bearings.
I'll probably use the cheap ones in mine but they'll suit the purpose.

need to ask, how does pre-order works? for tower, do I need to input my credit card details then check proceed?i tried using Paypal and it says it does not allow PP for International Order.
When you pre-order, will you be charge for the amount now or later when it becomes available?
sorry newbie in pre-order stuff.

Tower will charge your credit card when the order gets filled, so there is no upfront payment, hope that helpsslow_jun wrote:need to ask, how does pre-order works? for tower, do I need to input my credit card details then check proceed?i tried using Paypal and it says it does not allow PP for International Order.
