Part Differences - Old vs. New

[GoMachV]

the front shock tower only has one mounting point per side.

That's kind of odd too as the lower set of holes were the ones we commonly ran. Interesting

I hate the shock ends btw. Those will have to go

I hate the shock ends btw.

i'm not a fan either, but......

i didn't take notice to a front sway bar on the parts list. doing away with it on the re-release?

i love that they are re-releasing the car, but really bummed that the chassis is the nasty dark orange. would have much preferred the lighter gold even if it wasn't consistent(like the early cars).

[RichieRich]

I like the orange. But, I'm guessing there will be variation in the anodizing color just like the old chassis.

[marlo]

Maybe the anno will have colour variations like the originals

[GoMachV]

Mine will

[scr8p]

Mine will

yours won't be the only one.

Diamond shaped wing buttons?

I can already say that all plastic left- and right-handed parts have an "L" or "R" molded in, where the original RC10 did not. This is not apparent in the photos (the other side is shown).

After recently purchasing a bunch of new black RC10 parts, I have some questions about the re-release parts.

• 1) Some of the black parts have "L" and "R" markings on them. These markings are raised and easily scraped off with a hobby knife. Is it the same for the re-release parts? In other words, are the "L" and "R" recessed in the parts (so they can't be removed) or are they raised on the parts (easily removed)?
  
  2) Some of the molds have gotten absolutely horrible through the years. The battery cups have excess material on them. The two halves of the front carrier blocks aren't lined up properly when joined, and the space for the steering block on the left front carrier blocks is too large resulting in excessive up and down movement of the steering block. I have seen flaws like these on every set of battery cups and front carrier blocks that I've purchased at different times throughout the past two years or more. Are the re-release parts being made from the same molds, or have the molds been repaired or replaced?

Please let us know. Thanks.

Most of the molds are new, It was discussed earlier in the re-re tread

(I think it was there I read it )

[marlo]

Some original parts do have a L, or R moulded into them. Can anyone tell if the new shock caps have any differences to them.

Here's a good question I just realized looking at one of the replica threads that is active right now.......what will the sticker sheet look like? Will it have stickers that will allow you to build a box art replica? Or will it have the standard original sticker sheet? HMMMM....anyone know?

[scr8p]

My guess would be a 6195 sheet at most.
