Yes, Associated have said the Stealth will follow as an upgrade, although I wasn't told whether that is a gearbox upgrade or another rerelease full kit.

Some of us do that already.

Another image saved for posterity.

scr8p sent me a txt last night about the news, at first i didnt care... but i saw the ad, then saw the tower link, thought about it awhile... and it made me happy.

I ordered two, and I am really thinking about one more..... For $225 with the Tower discount ($235 with shipping) just seems like such a great deal for a mint, sealed, brand new RC10.....

I think it would be funny to see them follow Fender's lead, and offer countless "limited edition" reissues of each and every teeny tiny little variant over the years.

...which, naturally, would mean eventually we'll see a thread on how to "relic" your new RC10: yellowing white parts, rusting screw heads, scraping up the nose plate just-so, artfully addiing cracks to the body around the shock towers...

That's some funny chit right there!

I think this is the way to go, Bill is a great guy. Don't get me wrong, I am sure Tower or Amain will come through as well. The $25 off is pretty good...

I know who Cline Hobbies are and I think he could use the business as well. Support for the local hobby shop, even though he is no where near me. (pre order I mean)

If I find one at the local shops here in Calgary you can bet I will pick a few more up. errhhmmm Listening Rod??

badhoopty back on RC10talk, Martha says "it's a good thing"!

Dude I have 4 on order, 2 for me and another 2 for Anthony, then 6 more for the shelf! Not sure what the South store ordered but the distributor says they are going nuts with orders!

If this works as a money maker for AE, (and I think it will) After the Stealth tranny, maybe we will see a Team Car, Worlds Car or how about a white plastic 10T? That would be cool as hell!

Happy AE has not forgot their heritage! Oh How about a RC12is or a RC500 for the future????

I would be all up in that!

Ordered!

iv got mine on order
my question is this. if it really is truly a limited run, what happens when they cant fill the pre orders?

Wow, Been away a while and look what I missed!! I will be ordering one!!

Now you're pushing it! Here's my official call.... Kyooooshooo,Turbo Optima Mid SE please!!

I just pre-ordered a 2nd one....shhh don't tell my wife!

Here's an Ebay link for a full set of rubber sealed bearings for the RC10 for $23 shipped. I'm going to order 2 sets.
