Jesus, how many of these things are they going to make? iv gone from being stoked to see the RC10 again to cringing every time they do another version.
i have an original 6 gear. i have an original with (what was a) NOS graphite chassis. i have the Worlds Car rerelease. i don't need anymore (especially at $400) how about we just focus on parts support and getting some racing going?

 

[DavidB1126]

Still waiting for some Losi reres Horizon...
Like where's the competitor to this??? To be fair Horizon is non existent in the racing world sooo maybe in vintage, its Kyosho??? (@CertifiedMike ?)

what, you're not happy with the short lived, pint sized JRX2? we have to be overly concerned about collectors don't ya know.

So... your ankle monitor won't let you travel to Vegas?

The car is only $299 if you enter a race.

Scrooge McDuck once called me cheap. true story.

Same old story.. Associated desperately needs a new trick. It’s beginning to be like if someone bought 7,264 of the same Traxxas RTR just with different paint schemes, and would not stop bragging on it.. It has gotten old, and most of us couldn’t care less..

i can see it now, Associated see's your post. has an "ah ha!" moment. gives up on the RC10 and starts doing special editions of the RC10T. then the cycle is repeated with RC10GT.
at this point its like tell us you're out of ideas without telling us you're out of ideas.

It’s literally their business model.. They have actually killed the thought of me ever having an RC10 on a shelf in the shop now.. Like seriously. That sucks man.

 

[DavidB1126]

Have a vintage Losi as a shelf queen. You know they won't make rere editions/kits for them and they are pretty rare now. That would be my opinion since AE practically ruined it. Well from a collectors standpoint, that want something special and rare that is...

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

screw collectors. just remake the damn cars (slightly modded to fit lipo's). give the newer generations the opportunity to experience them. give the older guys the opportunity to relive there glory days. they're not a stock investment or 401k. they're toys that only have value to a few select geeks and weirdos.

they still remake Star Wars figures don't they?

Who's on that Associated "Area 51" design team nowadays anyway? I've been wondering about this for quite some time now. They lost me. Too much Kaoliang being passed around the table during brainstorming
