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.
