This is awesome. I’ll never forget Christmas morning 1987 unwrapping one of these, going outside and driving it straight into a bush. That led to finding a local RC track with my dad which led to my family opening an RC track and many years of racing. Great memories. My dad still has a couple of the original RC10s in his collection.
Man, the assembly editing is awesome. Took me back to 1987 when I built my first RC10. Thank you!
I reckon that’s my Cancelled order you are unboxing!
I cried all night on Thursday when the notification came through 😭
Awesome that Team Associated has created another release of the iconic RC10. I still have mine that I raced at tracks in Omaha Nebraska and surrounding towns back in the mid to late 80's. This past summer the 1/10th scale World Off Road Races were held at Hobby Action RC Raceway in Chandler Arizona. I took my OG RC10 there and to meet Alex Sturgeon from Hobby Towns Hobby Plex Omaha where he introduced me to none other than Jammin' Jay Halsey who autographed my car. Unbelievable! Sure would be awesome to get one of these RC10CC's.
Oh did that make me feel old, 40 years?! I owned one of those back then, wiper esc, tires as hard as rock, 40oz in servo, brushed motor, a bit prehistoric. lol
Thanks for this. Reminds me of when I built my first RC10 in 1987.
This is a must have for me.
my first car and got me hooked in the hobby 55 years old now fly everything drive everything love this hobby
Fantastic vid. You can tell you are an OG in this RC Hobby with the true Nostalgia and love you had for this kit. Good on Ya.
I've had several of the AE RC kits and loved them. Simply worth every penny to those who thing they are overpriced.
Thanks for this video. You made me realize just how cool the raw aluminum shocks look vs pink, purple, red, etc.
The clear kit would be nice for the collector as well....I've never seen it done!
Thanks again!
I could watch this all day. Love watching build videos with the right music. It wouldn't work with Slipknot 😂
Classy AF!! Still kicking myself for not buying the reissue a decade ago. I'll need three clear ones lol
What an awesome Throwback Brett it was a pleasure to watch you build it!.. I may have to get myself one now thanks lol.
Excellent video. Love the close up built clips 👍🏼
Amazing build video Brett. Brings back so many memories of building those og kits.
An RC10 was my first hobby-grade kit in 1987. Still my favorite to this day.
You were one of the few lucky one's then. My parents didn't spend that kinda money on me nor did any of my friends parents either. Just kids with wealthy folks and they always rubbed it in to the point most kids despised him and eventually used him for his toys...
@dieseldabz7104 my parents didn't either. I spent the summer mowing lawns and working nights as a short-order cook (3.35/hr) at a bowling alley to save up.
the build montage was so well done. do more of those!
Im on the fastrack list. Got an email the other day, that my kit was ready, go to order it two hours later, and said it was sold out. Ae said they "accidentally"sent out too many invites for stock on hand. I like how months ago the msrp price on the website was 319, now mysteriously its 399. Heard people complaining already of the poor quality of the kit overall. Air bubbles and voids in the plastic pieces, and the chassis is paper thin, and somehow lighter than the gold tub. I have a mint "a stamp ive had forever, and sold three other ones theoughout the years. Kinda miffed with the expierience so far. Im 46, so trust me when i seen a ton, owned a ton. And really really wanted this.
I saw this too. AE sold out when they told me I would get one. After that they also raised the price for the second batch of cars. However, I did get one from Amain! Of course they are now sold out too. Thoughts?
Had an original from when I was a kid and in 08 times got tough and had to sell it. It was still tearing it up over 30yrs later. Great car.
I know this is made as a collector addition additive but I can see it holding up running it , think they just didn’t want to be responsible if it didn’t and the sole fact of bringing it back to life
I love Amain and Brett! What a combo!
This is a GEM! brings back tons of memories
I am trying to patiently wait for stock to get to you guys so I can see that wonderful shipping notification! I am very much looking forward to building this one and then just sit there and stare at it for hours on end!
AMAZING BROOOO !!!! Also your face in thumbnail was very funny!!!!! Love your vids Amain hobbies
Man I love rc cars, got my first one years ago when I was a youngin', it was a tyco bandit. I've been hooked since
Amazing build video and editing.
My best friends dad, WAY back in the day had the gold tub, while my friend had a Grasshopper. That, got me into RC. Had about 10 years away, but race a B6.4D Team Buggy. (amongst many other cars).
Memories.....
Gotta get it! Love Amain Hobbies, keep up the great vids. Thank you
What a kit!!! Awesome!!
Takes me back 37 years to when I got my first RC10!
NIIIIICE👌🏻 My first proper racer was a T3 2wd stadium truck, I won several races with that truck, Love to win this RC10CC 🙏🏻
Such melancholy building music. Made me cry😂
AWESOME...I cant believe the price on this kit now {:-o I still have ny RC 10 from 35 yras ago, and it runs great.AWESOME little kit....MOPAR 4 EVER.
That was my first real rc car. Used to race it at the local rc track.
Then I got the RC10B2 and then I switched to Team Losi.
You probably cant use threadlock for this as it will often offgas something that cracks lots of clear polycarbonate.
I was going to order the optional lighting kit for the Ghost R/C 10.
Remembered that Amain has my account info, they know where I live.....
Love to see they released that rc Icon again. Sadly, I can buy it, and it's really hard to believe in those giveaways.
Can these crystal parts be dyed, like we did with nylon parts back in the day? I wonder how that would look...
Very cool bro
Never owned a RC10, I ran Losi back in the day, first car being a JRX2, my first hobby grade rc car. Still own it. This RC10 will definately be a collectors item. But what's gonna happen when the Vintage Racers, run out of Vintage stuff? LOL.
Man that's a nice one, so cool....
Its so so pretty!! but put a ESC and sweet motor in there for show! finish the build.
Great video, I’m just about to build one of these. Never done a non Tamiya kit so could you tell me the tool kit you used or the sizes needed please? I only have metric tools. Thanks!
I ordered mine November 1st from A main. Hope I get it!
Looks sweet but doomed to be a shelf queen since clear replacement parts aren't available
Awesome thanks
Now all we need is clear aftermarket parts
I’m curious if the clear plastic is more fragile then white or black? Most clear plastics are more rigid and prone to crack easier then black or white.
all tyme fav Back then and still today
It nice to hear you pronounce "Associated" correctly.
I am so enjoyoing this
What a nice buggy
History right there....
To they have One that you can actually Run and not end up as a shelf queen, I mean without the Transparent Parts?
Clearly a great rc 😂👍
I've always wanted the 93 worlds edition but I missed out on the re-release, and on eBay they're going for so much money. is it possible to get the new 40th anniversary edition, and upgrade it with worlds parts? and if so, which company does them?
Amain should do a collab with Gentleman’s Gazette. Brett in Black Tie building a beast !!!
I wonder if the clear plastics are more brittle than the normal black plastics.
I think so. The plastic has a similar feel to those old clear CD cases, although thicker. But I don't think the parts will provide any 'give' in an impact, they'll just snap, probably more so in cold weather.
-Brett
Atleast you got yours.
Total Collector's Item!
I don't Facebook.
Good luck though.
Subscribed anyway!
0:13 ahhhh my first car 😊
5:45 omg... the popping... the memories... original ball joints... my gawd man everything flooded back 🙏
👍
This would be so much nicer with stainless hardware
❤
What a beautiful kit!! Want one!!
I have an old rc10 I've been wanting to rebuild.
what paint color is the rc10 classic (box art)?
The black cab and window pillars are paint and painted on the outside (at least on the body AE sent us); www.amainhobbies.com/tamiya-ps5-black-lexan-spray-paint-100ml-tam86005/p125352
The remaining color is this Tamiya Camel Yellow: www.amainhobbies.com/tamiya-ps19-camel-yellow-lexan-spray-paint-100ml-tam86019/p125380
So fairly simple. The body is just black and yellow and everything else is a decal from the included decal sheet.
-Brett
bushings..?
They really missed out not using Stainless hardware.
- The black oxide stuff is ok but, the SS would have matched much better
should look nice when you paint it
Very nice thumbnail. LOL
I haven't HPI trophy and I believe the glow plug is messed up me being able to screw it back in is there any advice you could give me to fix this problem without having to change the engine as all the Hobby shops have closed down in London
3 options Buy a new head, buy a new engine, or helicoil for the stripped out head
What head my head probably there must be a way to like rethread it I'm buying you engine and find a hobby store in London driving a laugh a lot I'd have to travel 100 miles to find a hobby Shop there must be an easy way to sort it out and explain to me what happened please even if it is a bit abrupt
Is this meant to be a display car, or is it meant to be driven and are replacement parts available?
There are no clear-plastic replacement parts but some generic parts are available, like body, chassis and tires. Technically, you could drive the car if you want and I'm sure some people will, but if you break a part... ouch! I would cry to break it without parts available.
-Brett
memories
If this is just going to be sitting on a shelf, what is the point of adding bearings over the stock bushings?
Just for the sake of upgrading and enhancing the car I suppose, and to make it slightly different from all the others out there.
-Brett
Is this durable enough to be run? Or for display purposes only?
Polycarbonate parts aren't durable. And AE stated the clear parts will not be available separately. This kit should be display only.
😔
Dumb question, will this RC10cc be durable enough to drive? …or is it fragile/decorative?
It could be driven and it's strong enough to hold itself together but with no spare parts available, it's a big risk.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Ty. I really just want a classic RC10. lol. Was my dream car when I was young. …maybe I should just find an okay condition RC10 on eBay… …prices went crazy though of course.
Looks cool. However, not including ball bearings in the kit is an insult. Likely the extra cost for Associated would be $5, but one has to pay around 20…😖
Do you know how many of these clear kits have been made?
No, not exactly. I imagine a few hundred were created in the first batch but more should be on the way.
-Brett
What s part numer for upgrade parts lock nut pin on arms please
Yes please
Are you ready for Christmas
I'll stick with my gold chassis thanx, it still handles nicely!
How can I get a painted body like the original?
Painting one yourself or having an r/c painter create one are your best options. Sometimes people sell the box art bodies on the eBay, but they're usually pretty expensive.
-Brett
I wish I could win this car it would be the first time I would ever win. Good luck to all.
It's clear dirt, not ice.
bearings!!!
Woild love to win thia
no trophy blonde, no deal
I want that car...
the clear parts look really fragile. This is made for the shelf only? well that makes sense. But that price tag....
I never had one my dad got me a Tamiya Fast Attack vehicle
Is there a number
Well... I guess I missed out on those. What else is new.... :(
Beethoven of Builds
Mozart of Motors
Albinoni of Associated
itd be funny to see rivkin drive one on a track with a 17.5 setup and puke his brains out at how old it is
clear what the heck
No slipper, it's a 6 gear
Honestly I put my glow plug in in and out many times and this is never happened tell me how much of an idiot I've been and what I've done wrong
Put out something i can run. All my RC10s and i've never had 1 from new. Would love to build 1 but i want to run it. not this thing... -U10
Facebook? Who uses Facebook? 😢
