Nice to see it though!

I thought I told you about the lack of scoop the other day?

Rumors, Pffft!

I was just being hopeful.

This is awesome I just sold my worlds car to fund some stuff for my shop and it bummed me out but I know the guy who has it has ocd so it will be taken care of.but I still miss it.i even have a worlds box art body and wing painted and ready for a re re worlds.i am a collector but not for resell value just to have.i also spend top dollar to buy a part so if I do sell I most times lose money or just barely break even.i am building a new b stamp buggy and was ready to tear it down to make it in to a world car but with b4 yellow wheels but glad I saw this.i brought a re re classic and for what it is I am happy.i shelf my cars a few I play with but I love looking at them.i would love a graphite tho.i have 2 one is a woin the other a once played with buggy that needed a little love to make pretty again.i love the graphites more than anyother buggy tho.just glad to see the worlds not so much about the stealth since I spent so much on out drives lol.

chophead, im all for guys like you!. I as well am not worried about resale, I have yet to sell anything, at the same time, I only collect exactly what im after. I never collect for profit. anyone who does has my complete disdain

re-re's cheapen it. not the resale, who cares. its the hunt. its the bucket list type stuff. getting it finally.


i'm probably the only guy on the site who is against re-re's. but i'll damn well wear that flag proudly

Your not the only guy-

Well said, and you're definitely not the only guy who feels this way.

Yes, please: http://www.stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/seekpart.pl?src=ns&pn=ASC6002

Considering that I have two original Worlds Cars in very good condition that I picked up for comparable or less money than the re-re, I am not too concerned about "devaluation" of the original. Besides, if this gets people running more vintage, then all the better

RC is about fun.
Re re's are fun.

Makes sense to me.

No scoop on the Proline Mirage! Crap .... GP order deleted! I would rather buy Jay's body, if I did not need a scoop!

No scoop? Are you referring to the ESC scoop? Look at the Stormerhobbies link I posted - it's there...

Very true that picture can't be the one for re-release. The pan has scratches on the inside, servo mounts are missing and the visible screws are just like the one on the box art from the original kit box. Also the Stormer Hobbies pic is photoshopped with their decal on it.

very true...

Stormer should really put "not actual model - artistic representation" or something on that photo. If there really were photos available, Tower and Amain and those types would have a photo, and will when released from ae or proline.

I didn't know about Associated messing with us before!

"Could this be true or is it just another case of the A-Team messing with us? After all we should remember that they have embedded things like “RC10H Helicopter” and “RC10AP Airplane” in the past. Is it possible that this is just a clever trick?

Seems Stormer and Tower would have to be in on it if it was a trick.

Awesome way to remind people that Kinwald played a huge part at AE for a time. Brian certainly deserves a tip of the hat now and then and this rere would be a respectful way to do so.

The "Mirage SS" never had the scoop, only when the "Mirage Turbo" came out in 93 was this introduced. The "Turbo" was a different shell and had subtle changes over the old "Mirage SS" body, which was most noticeable with the scoop, cab profile and bigger windows.

Which makes me ask, if their is to be a "Worlds" car, then surely we are going to see the "Mirage Turbo" body introduced.

Cliff Lett's RC10 with Mirage SS body.

That's incorrect-

The Mirage SS (RCPS-110) is what is pictured on the RC10 Worlds box-art and was "The" body until 1991-92. Then came the Turbo Mirage (RCPS-120) which is pictured on Cliff's 1990 CE, it was produced in 2 versions, with the same part number, one scoopless (pictured) and one with the scoop (included in the 6037 Worlds car). The RCPS-110 was never released with a scoop to the public that I have seen, but Kinwald's 93 car has a Mirage SS (RCPS-110) with a scoop, at that race and in those pics
