Exactly. As someone still contemplating a used original vs a re-re (leaning towards the re-re ), that's what I'm worried about the most if I wait until AFTER the release date which is why I'm not. Once re-re parts/cars trickle out and mix in with the original stuff people will be innocently and not-so-innocently mixing and matching original and re-re parts while claiming they're all one or the other which makes it risky to buy anything RC10-related after the September release date depending on what it's being advertised as. There will be a lot of scammers and flippers looking to cash-in so trust no one.
x3 ..... I'm scrambling to finish a few project RC10s before the new parts become available. As a collector and enthusiast of the vintage cars, I don't want any re-release parts knowingly or unknowingly used in any of my builds.
Maybe I better go start a "wanted" thread and surf eBay again.
Cliff did state that it will come with dogbones and not cvd's. He also started that while all of the parts will be compatible with the old cars, they will look slightly different to preserve the value of the originals. From the parts pictures so far they do look very close but slightly different. If you know what you are looking at you'll be able to tell them apart.
chassis plate $27 was $9 rear arm mounts $5 was $2 chassis is $72 was $35 looks like most parts will be 2 to 3x the old prices... im so glad i bought out hobby shop when this stuff was "junk" / bargain bin parts
Well just caught up from page 70...seems the same story, did enjoy the pics posted and currently downloading the podcast. Fingers still crossed I get one...and not the fact that I'm lazy, I just want one dang it! (Besides, I'll be enjoying it while restoring a few RC10s I picked up) Looks like it'll get to y'all about a month before I get home too. So I'll get to see all you lucky guys posting for a month while I'm finishing up this tour! JERKS (premature but much needed). I really wouldn't mind ordering some more for my youngest two boys since the RC10 was my first real racing RC car. I think it would be fun to help them wrench even know they are young. Well see y'all in the near future as it seems I stray away for a bit with our current workload.
MIP makes a nice set for the original RC10, fit them if you absolutely have to have them, otherwise refer back to the spirit and intent of this re-release to offer it like the original 6-gear cars were!!
If you listened to the podcast mentioned earlier about vintage racing and the purpose of the re-re, you'd understand that Cliff respects the option for hobbyists to build their car and modify it with aftermarket parts. There's your opening for the UJ's you're salivating over.
I like what they are doing. Giving us the same basis that we had back in the day to build upon. Different people will expect different things, personally even the bearing part is OK with me cause they are so cheap now. With a stealth trans, front arms, turnbuckles and front tower and shocks it becomes a championship edition. If they are successful I hope the aftermarket will be back, can you imagine seeing JG, RPM, Houge, Robinson, maybe even Hot Trick (lol) make a reappearance? How cool would that be!
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
I'm working my way through the latest RIP podcast ( http://radioimpound.podbean.com/ ). Seems Jason Ruona's ( http://www.jconcepts.net/index.php?/jconcepts/about) recent trip to the west coast he stopped by Team Associated. No, he didn't get his "Stealth" car, BUT he did get so hold a new Reproduction kit. Said he was one of the few that was able to get one on pre-order but now he's even more pumped about building and racing it when he gets it.
still pretty cool though. Should be easier for user's to grab another off the shelf at the hobby shop and get back racing when it loosens and eventually flies off the buggy
That's it!! I'm cancelling the wheels, blame Dmat! I expected a bit of flack for the last ones, but everyone wanting everything was what sunk it: I don't blow off products unless there is a GOOD reason (Or if Dmat makes a comment. )
So it's September now, eh? Not unexpected but Rats! I've seen releases get pushed back several times, taking a LONG time (Think Venom GPV-1 bike) so hope that is not the case here. Chris REC (stands for "Really, Everything's Cancelled!" )
So, back long ago when I was in middle school and bashing around with my RC10 CE and regularly reading RC Car Action, I seem to remember a how-to published on how to modify the 6-gear transmission in order to reduce internal friction. I don't really...

here it is:
you can do it two ways, running a spacer inside the outdrive where the inner non flanged bearing went, or with a sleeve on the outside of the outdrive behind the 3/8 x 5/8 bearing.
Hi guys. Here is my Team Associated World's Car re-release. I completed the build last year (Sept. 2016). Some of you might remember seeing it. I haven't done anything to it since then, and it has only been driven a couple times. It was a really fun...

Savox can be loud, I almost always use the same model, some make noise and others not a peep. Go figure. I saw a review online that showed Turnigy 1258 is basically identical but around $40. I may try one.
do they give full PDF archives with pictures or just rsandom pages?

so you have to pay $20 a year for this? Or does $20 pay for life? I subscribe to the magazine now, they should give it to me for free lol
the sub is $20 per year. but once you download them you have them. It is quite a large amount to download...
Anyone remember Jeepinator(sp?) from the RCCA forums? He was a huge ae fan, and I still remember him buying the first production graphite RC10, and he had many other sweet RC10's. Man I was jealous of him. And Im also jealous of many on these...

I think you can find info about his RC10 Graphite HERE .

Well I'll give you a lesson the handful of dirt oval racers (myself included) have learned. The way to get the coverage you're looking for us certainly not by being negative about what you HAVE received. From any magazines side of it, we look at not...
Hey gang. Long story short-ish, I pulled my vintage clodbuster and rc10 team car out of my dad's storage and wanted to get them going again. The clod is all stock and and the rc10 qas sporting a novak 410 m5 with a speed gems onyx 14t brushed motor....

What did you end up doing with the old Onyx Speed Gem>?
