RC10 Gold Pan Re-Release??!!

[DanB4]

Yep it is Romulus. Nice guy and brilliant machining.

We'll I've pre-ordered one so hope enough get through to UK to fulfil all the pre-orders.

Going to build it and it will probably get a little light use with something like a 21.5 brushless so I'll want to put some bearings in it. Anyone know what size it needs? Found this on the bay but no idea if they are correct for the 6 gear gearbox. I'll buy them in the UK if possible but just need to know the sizes.

Still really surprised this has happened and that the cars are due so quickly

Cheers

I have two on pre-order.

Not sure i'll build either yet, but if one gets built it wll probably get a 13.5T Tekin brushless system for very light running on 'special days' and sit pretty on the shelf the rest of the time.

That appears to be the bearing kit for the stealth tranny cars.
The 6-gears used to huge, shoulder-less, bearings on the outdrives.

RC10 ordered!
AE allocated my local 'Herts RC Models' shop three of them.
Woop woop!!

[quincey]

I've got one!,my local hobby shops got 3 left on pre-order..Active scale models in hockley/Essex if any one can't get hold of one..

[Jamesk]

It looks so tempting and I've got some old brushed Parma motors and nicads somewhere, I'll have to get the old 27meg handset out too.

Ordered 2 from RCRacingUK

I ordered 2 yesterday - a bit of variability in pricing across sellers at the moment too, probably a reflection of the uncertainty of what we are actually getting !

Thanks, I'll hang fire until I'm sure. I would not be surprised if someone starts advertising bearing kits for it soon anyway

The urgency has decreased a bit anyway as the original late June release date was apparently a bit optimistic and now looking at August.

Well I have just placed an order with MB models. The next question is build and race or shelf queen?
I have never driven an RC10 but did race against them with a Hotshot!!

race it! race it! race it!

[Jamesk]

I think race it too but in period with brushed motor,nicads and a fet powered servo that I've found tucked away in my car cupboard.

What are the rest of you guys planning to run in there cars?

Hi Guys
Chris from California has the full 6 gear Tranny set for sale. Do we think this would be of a higher quality than the original or even new gears?

IF I run one of mine then a 13T brushless will be my choice - quick enough for a little fun without trashing it, and kind enough to the transmission for some longevity.

What shell is that please

I'm looking forward to seeing what truth there is in these rumors. IF they do a re-release, then I certainly hope that they make the parts slightly different here and there so collectors can identify what's vintage and what's not. A re-re on it's own can hurt the vintage market of that car, and it will be mercilessly annihilated if they make it exactly the same as an original version of the RC10.

Look at Tamiya: 3 years after the re-re, who is still talking about restoring, let alone running or racing an original Sand Scorcher? I know with the many versions and loads of updates this might not completely apply to the RC10, but it won't recover from such a thing

The body is a RCPS Mirage SS, which was reproed by mrlexan about 4 years ago. Most of his bodies were made by buying the original moulds but he's moved on from body repros after Bluegroove started copying them and undercutting his prices.

Thank you. It looks good in those colours.
