Original RC10 re-release

[jimmy]

Associated have confirmed a re-release of the original rc10 gold pan car. Using the same photo with prototype parts as they did back in the day - the actual car will likely look a little different to the photo.

Having the pleasure of owning two new build gold tub cars myself, I have to wonder what the price on these will be and how limited the number will be. My last new boxed kit was missing 3 wheels and some turnbuckles but it cost $15. Around 12 years ago someone was selling original boxed rc10's on ebay, loads of them, and they fetched good money at first, for the desperate collectors. In the end they were going for $100-$150usd

These things are surely damn nice to have in your collection if you're a collector - but I have to wonder how big the market is for the car. Still - people are moving back to scale cars in numbers - and a buggy that looks like a buggy is never a bad thing. I'll be saving my pennies for one, that's for sure.

I can't wait to see people fight trying to get a 6-gear tranny to work, and then find out how miserable these cars were in comparison.

The stealth gearbox is coming out later Mark, chassis will be pre-drilled ;-)

Any guesses on price? I'd like to say under £200, if it's a lot more then theres a tiny market.
Will it come with wiperboard and croc clips for charging?
Boxed, well, its new so the value to me is a built shelf queen - unless it's cheap enough to be raced, in which case I think some strictly controlled special class would be great. But spares etc, it could never happen I don't think.

Rumours are around $250 Jimmy

Spares have never been much of a problem and Associated have said there will be spares backup. The RC10 Protech and Viper bodies have always been available from Associated and it was only when Thunder Tiger took over that the last original spares finally disappeared.

I suspect JC will have a sudden surge in demand for their 2.2" RC10 wheels that are still in production, as well as the MIP CVDs.
