Team Associated RC10 re release could happen?:)?!
Since Tamiya have been redoing all the dodgy buggies we loved as kids back in the day I was thinking, well why hasn't the most famous race buggy ever been re-made?. So I emailed AE about this the other day, and the reply I got was a bit interesting. Apparently they get emails about this very often and it's not beyond the scope of happening, not if there's enough demand for it and the guy that replied suggested people keep on asking.
The idea I put forward was a re-release of the 1990 team car, I felt one if the original alloy tub cars with the stealth box would be all around the most desirable model to re release, something that is nylon and could be dyed, there was just something special about the white nylon parts. Anyway I'm sure there's tons of people thinking the same as me so if we all get together on this it seems like one day it could happen. Even if you prefer the original car if they are going that close it wouldn't be much extra effort to do a couple different variations. So who would be up for that? what's everyones thoughts?, with the price of a good used near mint vintage RC10 already matching what a new one would cost and there being good demand for those it makes sense to just make them again. I guess it would be sensible to change to a modern wheel diameter or at least include the parts to do that in the kit but I don't think anything else would need or want to change

its a bad idea i spent hundreds on a vintage rc10 ce edition with the upgraded stealth diff. tamiya killed the vintage market with the re release of their cars they should leave it alone i think. just my opinion.

The Kinwald version is the best one, so everyone should ask for that.

 For every single person that was angry over the Tamiya re-releases, there were 50 others quite happy about being able to get their hands on something vintage without having to take out a second mortgage.

I understand that all the tooling has gone for the ancient RC10...

I have a near mint team car and a good modified graphite car with the original trans in it. But I'd still get a new one if you could buy one. Then I could actually drive the things and race vintage class without having a phobia about wreaking them, knowing I could get parts easily would make my day.
I've asked again and the original moulds are gone from the building/old rc10 factory, but I think we all realised they wouldn't be in the states anymore. Still no ones said they don't exsist anymore so that's a little bit encouraging. I linked them to this thread so maybe they can give a bit more ideas about if the moulds are still kicking around somewhere.Edit: he thinks Thunder Tiger have the original moulds, I guess they took them with all the rest of the stuff. I wonder how you talk to Thunder Tiger ?
