Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?

[SnoopMaxx]

Haven't seen any new or "old-new" numbers

I don't think we will either, not until the actual kit is released

RC10 re-release update!

* new 6 gear tranny has been re-worked to hold a 8 turn brushless motors
* updated manual, updated box

not surprised by the second one, the first is surprising - an 8T brushless and lipo in a narrow track RC10

I was just more excited to hear some parts availible for my RC10 runner!

I've been struggling to find replacement parts for my RC10 racer that are expendable

[Taylorm]

The price for the rere is already up on the bay...unreal.

Maybe this is the rare "Assocuated" version. Oh and the 15th anniversary edition.

...He says 40 units are coming??...thought they were "all sold out".......bet this guy takes the money and RUNS......

.all sold 2nd day of RCX???.............great...looks like I get NONE....What was the dates of RCX show???.....

[markbt73]

Since further discussion is all just speculation until we see some actual photographs, I'd like to raise a more practical question...

...do I win some sort of prize for starting what now appears to be the longest thread on here?

[scr8p]

umm..... no.

Duh. Forgot about that one.

COme on guys... keep bench-racing and speculating and arguing about Associated's marketing strategy! We gotta catch up!

even if this is correct, you can bet the buyers are the distributors, dealers / retailers and not the general public.

[Wandy]

They're really not kidding though are they? It's definitely one small run and that's your lot.

By the end of the year I can see the ebay price for whichever ones are left being twice the original pre-order price.

[Charlie don't surf]

Look guys! It's all just hype to boost sales! Calm down! There will be enough to fill all orders plus 10-20% more for regular estimated sales! Even more will be made if sales are great!

Ok, so I haven't posted on this since the first page- and I've been trying to stay away from it. But since this has taken so much attention I might as well add my .02-

Rod is correct, and if he's not....then the people steering the business are DWI. Listen, "rarity" "limited production" this is a new release, give me a break. Take the blinders off and see it for what it is, a very neat chance to open up a gold tub short arm car and build it. If anyone thinks that this is going to be a "rare" piece, I suggest you see your doctor about changing your prescription toward reality.

Anyone know what happened to the Hotwheels market for vintage pieces both NIP and OOP? As soon as HW realized the secondary market was there they flooded it with new releases, then when legitimate factory goofs became "rare" then they started goofing on purpose so guys would buy all or multiples of all cars. Then they Re-Re'ed and now cars that would fetch 30-200 fetch one tenth of that if your lucky. However, the gold at the end of the rainbow is that lots of guys got to play with a Re-Re of their favorite car from childhood! But, they were mostly manipulated by the manufacturer that marketed a rush demand for "limited" releases, which means limited to however many they can sell.

I don't specifically care about the Re-Re RC10, nor have I ordered one...believe it or not, I have enough RC10's. I think it's awesome that guys that don't have enough of them are able to get one so reasonably, and support parts to boot! The idea of a vintage series racing venue with old tires in modern compounds is wicked cool. I really hope it takes off.

Don't buy into the hype. If your a member here and a genuine vintage enthusiast, you should have learned patience by restoring cars by now, and have a little common sense to boot.

Didn't take long to come right back to rarity did it? LOL

some guys here want to drop 10turn (brushed) mills in there... not much different

[atarit3]

I'm glad it's been tested down to an 8 turn, but realistically I think 17.5 would be a good blend of speed and fun.
