Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
Let's face it, the new buggy is a repro made in China. Just pop a Chinese brushless ESC and motor in there. Not having a go, just stating the obvious ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

I'm thinking 17.5T in Blinky mode would be about right, not ballisticly fast but quick enough to enjoy it ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Ya. New electronics for me too. And as I keep hearing we will have parts, then I may test the limits of the transmission too. ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
I don't plan to run any ballistic setup, a mild brushless esc and motor and 2.4ghz with lipo. The only thing I would compromise on would be switching to a brushed motor because the long run time and control are qualities I won't give up.

I'll probably buy a kit but have yet to order one. 15 years ago I built a Goldberg anniversary cub but it succumbed to a crash. Sadly, the kit was discontinued and I made do with other planes. But 3 years ago they re-introduced the kit with modern improvements like, laser-cutting (as opposed to die stamped) and I had to have another. My kit arrived and I was immediately disappointed. The instructions were poor photocopies of the original and crudely stapled together, the plans were photocopies of shrunken originals (not very conducive for an accurate build), the wood was of poor quality, part fitment was poor, the plastics were cheap, the decals were cloudy, blurry reproductions of what they could find and the box was now black with a photocopy of the original art glued on top. It was cheap to say the least, but I still built it. Looking back it tarnished the legacy that plane left behind; I would have been better off coughing up the dough and waiting for an original to pop up.
I guess I'm just hoping that history doesn't repeat itself with the re-re..... I'd hate for the rc10 to go down like: "Caddyshack 2"

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
I hoped the same thing too. I would assume though that the RC10 rere will pass through the hands of the Team Associated gurus to get the stamp of approval before it hits the general public.

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
If I do get one (which will only be if I see one on a hobby shop shelf; not doing the pre-order thing), I have a new-in-package wiper arm speed control from a CE kit that would be very tempting...Lonestar wrote:meJedi Master wrote: Are many others planning on running them with electronics that are more period typical?brushed 27T AE and old-skool esc, futaba magnum junior or magnum, probably modern servo and lipo though

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
I probably will go old school electronics because that's what I have and am used to, and also I don't really plan on running mine. Sad but true I probably have only run one car in the last 4 years, I just like to build/clean/restore and then they go on the shelf. Though if parts are readily available that may change things, at that point I may go for brushless and see what all this talk is about but as of right now I'm still prety much stuck in the early 90's with my RCs
Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
I don't think AE will mess up the rere. I just want to seewhat the box looks like.
. . . you have Associated Green Slime for brains. And not even new Green Slime, but old gooped out Green Slime.
Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
If I could only find the speedo I ran in mine back then I would certainly put one in.
Maybe one of you UK guys has one?
Demon 2DH the one in the Blue heatshrink.
I also ran Demon motors, H.T. or Mr. T.
Need to find one of those too.....

I ordered two from Tower as soon as I read the release. Tower has always been good about listing new releases as soon as they find out about them. Now if only they will do a run of the aqua and magenta Associated/Reedy tshirts they sold BITD.

I'm thinking 13.5 should be ok on the 6-gear, if not I still have my stealth sitting on my desk.

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?
I've been debating the electronics issue myself. There's talk of a "vintage" class sprouting at our track, so I've held off on buying anything for now. If we don't do the class, I've been throwing around running a Novak 410M5 with either a 27 turn stock motor or a Trinity Speed Gems 19T turn motor OR buying a Hobbywing EZRun 35A esc/13T 3000kv brushless combo. Since mine will be a runner, I'm leaning towards the brushless just for the ease of maintenance.
