I wanted to officially say hello to all my fellow r/c enthusiasts and express my appreciation for a great blog site like this. I've been a part of the hobby for over 25 years but was never into AE/YOKOMO cars growing up as a kid in the '80's (primarily focused on Tamiya and still do). However, I did generally admire them from afar and was always intrigued by their "exotic" white parts, racing pedigree and remember them fondly in dozens of issues of RCCA. I finally satisfied my boyhood curiosity by picking up a used '88 YZ-10 almost a year ago so I figured I'd join the site and educate myself about these models. For the last couple of years I also occasionally browsed the internet for a used RC10 gold pan car but never gave it serious thought considering the high prices for a decent example. Now that the re-re is coming out I'm giving it some serious thought and might take the plunge to find out what all the fuss was about in the '80's.
