I’m a sucker for nostalgia. So of course I love this one

I don't get it, the gold pan RC10 is slowly becoming a super expensive Hot Wheels at this point.

That's ok... I don't get the Hot Wheels collection thing.

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

Jesus, how many of these are they going to do? the shark has been jumped gentlemen, damn. how about just focusing on the parts support?

I suspect they'll keep going until they quit selling out.

I have my old Associated gear. If they start backing it with parts, I'll take them off the shelf again. Otherwise, like I said, I already have Associated shelf queens. No need for more.

Call me weird, but I was never really a "gold" RC person. I get it... gold represents certain things in the racing/sports world, but a gold "pan", gold shocks, gold wheels... it's over the top. Just my opinion.

Sorry, but this is sexier to me...

they do an alphabet soup edition and I'm never buying another AE as long as i live. we'll see what happens in June. political stuff has no place in RC.
sign me up for one of those Barbie editions though. sounds fun. better come with a pink chassis

 

[jimdavis577]

Don't forget the " they/ them" version where it doesn't know if it's a buggy or a truck

was that too soon ?

The DS has that black pan... but also gold wheels... best of both worlds?

I think "if they were smart" they would do like everybody else. Just offer the plain RC10, then offer all of these custom parts for them. Gold pans, blue pans, green pans, pink wheels, orange arms, etc. That way, folks would buy the entire car + the parts they want to build it their way. Silly AE could be making a killing.

I can't understand why these RC companies wont't take us all on as marketing consultants... I mean, we clearly have the best ideas for them!

if they hired all of us, it would be one salary position split amongst about 8 people LMAO

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

Spoken like someone with a functioning brain!!!
SILENCE!!! Pay NO attention to the AE behind the curtain!!! The great and powerful Oz has spoken!!!
I was working on the RC10 BEFORE I got onto the Kyosho current kick. AE parts dept quickly turned me off to the idea that I was going to race my vintage RC10 on a modern track on a weekly basis.
I'm not sad if I'm honest.
Kyosho makes me happy!
