When will they stop?

i don't hate it. at least it's not a 1/10 buggy. i wouldn't say no to a truck version with retro RC10T style body.

Wouldn't that be an rc14?

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

it would be a Reflex 14, only cool looking

Yea that's what I was thinking
I think its just that it has RC10 Heritage bc of the white plastics

 

[DavidB1126]

Reflex is a pretty fun platform. I would like it more if they fixed that odd designed motor mount and make it easier to work on. 17 or so maybe more screws to get to the rear and center diff. I'll pass on that. (I already done it a few times and it's a bit stressful)
Fun for bashing, but with me having the T / truck/truggy version of the reflex, it uses buggy suspension so it's super twitchy. Bit hard to get it around a high grip track. Bc it's short wheel base and short track width. Having a longer chassis and arms would make it more easier to drive.
But the buggy and monster truck version for all that I know can be different I guess idk.

I guess tgey ran out of orange paint?

I like that they are making the older classics avail again.
I never got into the smaller scale stuff but I'm glad theres another option for ppl who are into them.

So let’s not address the million issues that the 14B has, only paint it up like it’s from 1985… Got it..

Go home Associated, you’re drunk.

I don't think I'll ever get used to the cab forward designs

The 14b is Not a classic.

The 14b was never available in white plastic.

They have lost their minds.


BTW. Even they say they are "replicas of the classics"


The classics where built in USA out of completely different materials. Far superior.


Jus' sayin

The days of the b3's and xxx's are long gone. 2 of the best looking buggies ever made.

I almost bought a 14r kit, but then looked at all the reviews. Needs bearing, motor mount is weird so you almost have to use reedy. It just became not worth it. $180 for jist the kit and then you have to put more $$$ into it. Not for me!

The "10" in RC10 means 1/10th scale. Anyway...
The RB14 (1/14th scale) with white plastics and gold shocks

I've owned a couple white plastic off-road RCs. Stains too easily.
Sorry, if anyone likes that color combo. I'll see myself out.

NOTHING ABOUT THIS MAKES SENSE

why would you make a retro version of your least popular late(ish) model buggy? Why would you call it an rc10 if its 1/14? Why would you go out of your way reproduce white plastics that are only compatible with this unpopular platform? Why even continue to produce a 14th scale when the meta for the micro scale racing bracket is 1/18?

AE has gone Liver King style out of their minds.

white plastic gives me the ick...as the kids say

 

[Mike4xdriver]

If I bought that because the box said rc10 and I opened a 1/14 scale, I'd be pissed. I've never bought a TA rig and never will

 

[ferrebee88]

Now if they brought back the Nomad DB8... I would probably get that.

I'd be getting at least two of those DB8 rides I was about to purchase one, but my RC8.2e backorder parts emails told me to hold up. The Nomad DB8 was practically doomed from the beginning. The platform was only around for about a year... Team Associated's parts maker went bankrupt. Bye, bye Nomad.
