Associated has really gotten their act together getting with these. The etched chassis looked great. The time from pre-order to shipping has shrunk to days instead of months. The last thing they need to do is put some padding in the boxes! I’ve seen several posts of people with really beat up boxes. Mello Yellow livery is a fantastic choice. If AE had released the Mercedes body as an option, this would’ve been a purchase for sure, but the unlicensed Mustang body isn’t cutting it for me.
My dream re-re but the cost of admission is way too high. I have waited for Associated to bring back this gem and when I saw the price on Amain I about had another heart attack
Could be. Don’t know too much about the body. I referred to the associated website and all it says on there is that it is a Trans Am body. But as far as the race car driver, you mentioned I see that he did drive a mustang so it could be
Kyosho and Team Associated definitely put a premium on their reres. But they're the same price as 35 years ago which is kind of awesome! They should be $1,000 according to inflation lol
@@laserbeam1620 you know what... you're right. I was looking at some of my original RC10 boxes that I have where they printed the price right on the side of the box. Prices aren't that far off... and those prices are from over 30 years ago....
Correction Correction: It's a Ford Mustang body as raced in the Trans-Am series, not to be confused with the Pontiac Trans-Am
So glad that they stay consistent and use zero packing material
LMAO I know right. Bigger box and can’t even throw in some brown packing paper to stop it from sliding around.
😂
As soon as i seen the body i was thinking a mello yellow theme would look cool, and BOOM. You read my mind. Looking forward to seeing it all done.
That's quite a nice looking kit, can't wait to see it up and running!!
Body looks like a mid 90s mustang. Cool kit.
Nice job,’looking forward to seeing the Fantom and the DS all finished up!!
Mello Yello is a must, it’s going to look so good!

Don’t forget the bushings. 😂
I know right! So lame they can’t include them.

After buying my Optima Mid I'm ready for any prices LMAO!!
Nice!
Very interesting. Did not know this existed prior to this re-re. Now, will we see it in Europe ? 🤞
🤩
I thought it was a 94-98 mustang body that was driven by Tommy Kendall in the trans am series of that era.

@RCRetro yes google him and mustang and it will come up.
Mine came a few days ago, and shipped with the new YZ-10
Just got my RC10T and the box was crushed in the corners. It also came in a package almost the same size and zero padding
Do a Hooters livery on the RC10DS body :)
Is are you gonna get ball bearings for it?
Going to look into it now
Man your making me want to get a ds now
Hope you race it.
The tires look like they will get good wet traction on pavement.
The price puts me off
yes it seems that all of their RC rerelease's are at a premium and close to the $400 mark.
