Yeah, I thought that was somewhat gloating making the collage of the posts.

He made a reply to someone's comment that he had it ready to go for 2 months.

I am curious to see if it will be legal for vintage racing. Technically it IS a re-re (of Jeff's car from several months ago). :lol:

I wouldn't expect ours to be allowed, and thus the AE car as well, as it only goes back to 2013 or so. It's nothing like a real mip car, those imo are all that should be allowed. Depending on how close Eustace makes his, it may or may not be allowed. If it's updated for modern power, I'd expect no

The Old School Euro Masters event has deemed it legal for racing in their 88-93 class, as that's when the belt drive MIP conversion was available. Those defending the decision say it's because it won't be competitive against the Kyosho Lazer, Schumacher Procat and Yokomo Works anyway. Vintage Model Racing are considering that if there's the demand it should have it's own spec class at their events and not run in the main classes.

In the UK IconicRC allows the Trickbits YZ10R, which is an 'interpretation' of the YZ10 with modern geometry and it has a significant advantage over vintage cars in its class, so I wouldn't be surprised if the 4wd RC10 is allowed.
What we all would consider vintage racing as being about running vintage cars stopped in the UK around 2020/21 as lots of old racers got the bug again and apart from a few of us holding out it's more about racers running the RC equivalent of restomods that just bear a passing resemblance to the originals with the most popular cars usually being the latest 'rerelease' or conversion than anything to do with actual vintage cars or the history of it all.

I definitely understand that, but right now Amain is changing me out of state sales tax again (sometimes they don't) and Associated isn't.

Too soon :lol:

I spoke with Curtis yesterday, we are all good. Ultimately they did what I wanted to do- molded parts, refinements, etc that only a company with money could do. I like what they did (maybe not the way they went about it, lol) and look forward to making lots of parts for these things. Definitely gonna need a chassis brace

That's definitely taking the high road. You must not have gone to the Traxxarse School of RC Business. Glad to have you around though. Hopefully this clone helps keep you swamped with part orders.
