Very nice! I love my original w/Stealth Tranny displayed in my office that I bought when I was 15 and still have the original box, receipt, everything but I may still be interested in a NIB re-release!

The price sounds a little steep though over $400 I think I saw...
P.S. I bought a new body/wing that I have to finish and I also bought decals from mciracing.ca but I really like the look without the body right now, so we'll see...

Nice motor choice! Reedy gold dot or yellow dot?

Nice stuff there Nickerz! The Frog was my first RC. Then I had a Super Saber. That was a pretty cool car too. 4wd and really ripped. Then of course I had my RC10 graphite which was the queen of the group. I wish I took better care of all of them. Well actually I wish I kept track of them better. They were all babied until I stopped using them. I also had a 10L and a Kyosho Rampage or outlaw rampage I forget but the nitro was a lot of fun. Wish i had them all right now. I'd really be enjoying them again these days. Take good care of your stuff kids. You just don't know how much you'll want it in the distant future.

Hey so a couple of questions occurred to me. First, do we, meaning you guys that seem to know at least a little about everything and a lot about a lot, anticipate this car being hard to get? I guess there's no official word yet but assuming it is released. Will it be limited availability or only available for a short period of time? In other words if I blink will I miss out? Second, what transmission is it likely to have? I think, and please correct me if I'm wrong, it was originally released with the 6 gear but I know it was later sold with the stealth. And finally, this is a tough one I think, but I'm sure in the hands of professionals this car would be tough to keep up with the modern cars but will it be a back marker at the local track? You know where driving skill varies a lot more. I check the AE website every day to see if there's any new news.

Well, we were right; AE does have one more re-re to offer before Christmas. If they've left the best for last is open for debate but for me it's hard to top the Jay Halsey tribute car.
Looking forward to learning the details on this one. Thanks Jeff.
If you watch the Jay Halsey rerelease video on Youtube you can see Gene Husting's Trophy girl car in the reflection on Halsey's trophy? My guess is the next rerelease will be the graphite rc10 and then another gold pan this time with Gene's trophy girl car livery..

I caught some crap yesterday for ordering 'another RC10' (the new gold teamish car), but the *@#_$ I'll get for ordering a re-re Graphite will be worth it.

Someone is hedging their bets that this kit will become the inflated 'rare' kit like the re-re World's Car did after AE had their fire sale...
Man, this kit could have been sooooo cool if they would have popped for a powder coater...

Like others have said the green kit is probably a production error where something went wrong. The green is extremely odd as it has no relevance to anything.
Any odd or unpopular kit will be collectable in the future.

I've resisted them all....until now. The single plate graphite buggies of the era really blow my skirt up. How to justify it though.......hmmm.
I do miss the old days where the MSRP was just a recommendation and not a mandate. Seemed like the $345 kit could be had for half that at the LHS bitd.
