Associated RC10 Trail Truck Cattleman edition... Just throwing this out there.

Not going to lie, I kinda like it... in a quirky kind of way.

That white plastic ruins it for me.

I wish it had a molded front bumper and windshield wipers... and come on Associated... Lets get with the clipless bodies already!!!!!!!

It's like they come so close and just mis the mark every time. It really makes me miss the way Axial used to come out with awesome builders kits! The SCX10ii Unimog was so fun to build. Even their SCX10iii jeep was amazing.. molded bumpers, headlights, clipless body... That is what I would love the market to get back to!

I've said it before, and i'll say it again, that white plastic just makes it look so cheap..

I'm with the rest. The white just ruins it. And, yes, I know, white used to be a thing on the RC10 years ago, which is probably why they did it, but, even the gold from the original RC10 pan car would have looked better than the white.

I know part of the RC10 mystique/nostalgia is that gold, but releasing everything to have that "look" is just over the top turn off for me. All you mullet lovin' neon pastel billy idol spiked leather glove shoulder pad wearin' freaks have gone too far.

Rusty would be taking care of the "gold" real quick...

Has anyone tried to dye this plastic? Curious if it can still be done.

I don't mind the white plastic. If I can see what color my chassis is while I'm running, I'm doing it wrong!
What I do mind is the prices. I don't trust AE to not discontinue parts in 6 months.

I like this rig overall and its a better option than supporting Horizon for me.

I like the other trail Jeep and the Porsche rally car from AE too.

Have you never been rock crawling in a jeep? They love showing off that chassis

Weird! So this one decided it was better to paint the chassis black and the body white, but display on its roof.
I bet we'll see more of this at car and bike shows in the future!
