It is cool, I just don't know what I'd do with it? I feel like my TC3 grew 2 more wheels and a huge body shell! :lol:
If there was some sort of lower profile open wheel or wedge body that fit the chassis, then maybe. It's really something though.

Looks like a huge six piece body from what I can tell!

Yeah but "with 6 wheels comes 6x the traction"? Wouldn't you need 24 wheels for 6x the traction?
Hope you're doin' something fun.

I know Tamiya already did kits, but I'd be interested if it weren't a pan car

It would be cool just for display to tow your RC10 - but then there's not much detail at all on the body it's just a shell. I guess it's meant to be run but I have no desire whatsoever to drive that thing around.

I like the homage to the RC10.

Should be a B7 like this!

Is there any reason this should have been expected? Is there a plane coming next? How about a boat? If they do a hovercraft, I am so getting one! Do I have to buy the truck to make sure the hovercraft project goes forward?

Dumbest thing I've ever seen. Got my preorder in at amain :lol: just because it's stupid doesn't mean I won't own it. The stupid stuff from the 80s is the stuff I'm most excited about in 2025. Maybe in 2055 it will be cool :lol:

Personally it seems like an RC10 sell out to me. Yeah on its own right it would be cool but to RC10ify it.... really?

A-Main is sold out already. Pre-ordered thru AE.
Maybe a small production run?
Beyond the body, thinking the only new parts required would involve the center diff housing that would need the pass-thru for the rear diff.
Wheels look like chromed Hoonigan parts.
Not saying that in a bad way, it's interesting to see what can be made by reusing parts on hand while only needing a minimum of new items.
Curious what will come out next?

I like the gold pan and white plastics. I may have to chop a little bit off...
