I would love to see competitive retro cars at races - with the old style bodies

All the later released RC10s - Black tub Worlds & Team cars, Gold Pan CE (available through to end of production) & the later graphite came with the Stealth gearbox & slipper clutch which has the same basic internals that are still used in the B4 - so good the handle the torque of our modern brushless motors.... the battery mounting method remained the same with all the Ali-tubbed cars which is to be honest too tight beneath the rear bulkhead for most modern LiPo packs.
I'd like to see the RC10 re-released (so long as it was a faithfull reproduction & equal quality) - but I wonder actually how successfull it would be for Associated - there are so many of the original cars still out there that pretty much anyone who is a true enthusiast already has one (or many more!) If you are willing to search on ebay.us there are plenty of cars to choose from NIB sealed examples through to restoration projects!
