I struggle with the preorder. I like what they have done with it, don't get me wrong...but it is just a tribute (I'm not a fan of the shocks and slipper, and especially the wheels) so I don't know if I need just one or maybe two.
I was really hoping for .71 non threaded hard bodies but I was just being shelfish lmao

I'm in no rush, I didn't pre-order a 6001...and I could get my hands on no less than 10 right this minute (and those are only the ones I know of) at regular price. Plus, I already have a capable RC10 CE race car But I will get one at some point, because cars wear out...and that is the cheapest way to build a RC10 race car and some Lunsford re-re-buckles
the RC10 they used to do the retooling belongs to Don in customer service. Associated didnt have a new untouched one around, Don had a new built form box never touched after that one. He just finally got the car back after they borrowed it like 2 years ago to start the retooling.

It wasn't a great setup anyway! It was just unique. I like unique and that's what it's all about, but a rear motor chassis with a drivetrain like that of a tamiya, 30 degree kickup....it just has a lot against it compared to a purpose built buggy. They may have made it into a few big races but I am willing to bet those drivers with a era correct true 4wd car would have been more competitive.
Again, don't get me wrong I love the conversions. They just aren't "all that"

Your right! My X4 MIP conversion was quickly shelved when I got my Yokomo! Not a bad kit but nothing compared to the Yokomo or dare I say... Kyosho cars at that time!

And a conversion that trys to overcome the 2wd design to make it more like a purpose built 4wd buggy changes the RC10 so much that it's almost unrecognizable as an RC10.
