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!
I run a old stealth box on my cobra and it takes brushless with no problems, I also use the rc10 battery holder with a full size 6500 60c demon stick lipo and it does fit but its a little tight. I restored an rc10 team a while ago and it wasn't cheap to do so for me a re release would be my preferred choice. Alot of buggy drivers I have spoke to say if a re release became available, they would buy one but who knows if they would. Either way, unless associated confirm a re release, this is just speculation.
