I'm thinking that may be a somewhat simple addition to the "Nostalgia" line.

Truck would be a great addition..

Thats what I'm really hoping for. Really like the Classic and the Worlds tribute car but would really love to see the 10T or even a T2 aluminum tub.

The 1/4" x 3/8" flanged bearing is a fairly expensive bearing, and to add 4 of them ads an unnecessary cost when the bushings were what was originally included and do the job just fine.

The other changes such as the V2 shocks or slipper are much smaller cost increase over the original, considering you still make two aluminum plates for the slipper or 4 hard anodized shock bodies. Besides all of those changes are somewhat out of necessity, I think many more people would be disappointed if the updates were not made.

aftermarket 1/4x3/8 are uber cheap. Personally i like the bushings- still silky smooth and they dont fail

I'm a big fan of the rerelease phase of RC, after seeing the new RC 10 Classic I decided to source a vintage A-stamp original gold pan, and found that you can still get these cars at a decent price. After restoring my a stamp to almost pristine condition,(I still run it) I found this 92 gold tub championship edition, in the box, at a hobby store in Minnesota! I picked it up for a very reasonable price. It's the last gold tub boxed,with all the best goodies. including stealth transmission, the best shocks they made back then, and the updated towers that the team drivers used. I picked up a set of bearings on eBay, it came with a very nice spec motor, and I plan to paint this in replica fashion. If you're willing to do the research, the originals are out there, but as far as the world's car ? unless you have Big money to spend on your hobby, forget about it.. so I'll be buying one of these! Thanks for thinking about us old guys Team Associated.

Totally using my one track mind, and didn't even think about the option of the truck.
That doesn't seem out of the question.

There's an idea for the New-World's car Tim ( assuming it comes with an un-cut un-worlds nose plate). Offer another set of lengthened nose tubes. Drilling the same set twice probably weakens them too much at the inner hole if you run it long, but another pair drilled for a pushed out front nose would be a nice update, in line with the slipper and stuff. JConcepts kinda missed the boat imo by just making the blingy shorties that update form, but not function.

I second Ducati Mech with the Thank You too. The 20-somethings may be the fastest around most tracks most days, but us codgers who like to reminisce are still the ones that tend to have the disposable income .

I didn't think it was the ones fastest around but the ones that can control it and put the lap counts up

Also agree, my accountant wrote off my first rc10gt but otherwise I didn't have alot of disposable income that I didn't end up drinking when I was 20 something

Not to derail this thread farther, but I too would like a 10T like I got in the summer of '94. I wish I still had it.

Just finishing up painting a new body for a runner. Might be a dumb question but I wonder if the turbo mirage bodies will come with window masks?

Yes, the Turbo Mirage body will come with window masks and trim lines.

I totally agree with those who feel angry about this being a one-off money grab. I still have an original still in shrink wrap. There is no authenticity to these kits. It like knowing you have counterfeit art on your wall. Boo AE. Or really Boo Thundertiger

Two years ago people were bitching about getting parts made again, now people are bitching because the car is not identical to the original...

Why would you bitch when you are getting a new kit, that is at least 1/2 to 1/3 cheaper than what we were spending to build a car of the same parts a year ago.

Very true Seabass, everyone is entitled to their opinion but I don't understand why one would complain. The worlds car is being called a replica and not an identical reproduction. It's like a replica of a 427 Cobra, it's not indetical to the original there are some changes made to it but the look is there. I for one am happy to see these re-releases and the parts that come along with them. That's my 2 cents and over it.
