My parents got this for Christmas went it came out. It was way too much money, but their son wanted and so like millions of parents do they got it for me. I still have it some 40 years later.
Thank you again Mom and Dad. I love and miss you both everyday.
Nothing like an original box art rc10. Great job buddy.
Love it. I bought mine new in '89. A Cadillac edition A stamp. Still got it, and after putting some modern electronics in it the car runs just as fantastic as ever. I raced it back in the day mostly dirt oval with a wedge body on it. Still all original even after racing the heck out of it the car just never broke. Only thing I ever put in it is gears. Possibly the best designed rc car ever.
These things really are that good. In the good old days you could show up at a local track with one of these and everyone would be ticked because they just got owned. Epic.
cheers.
Such a special car. The box art for this and the Frog are the two iconic images of the golden era for me. The RC 10 was the car I drooled over in all the magazines in the 80’s but I could never afford. Enjoy this one Glen!
Luckily for me when I was 13 years old for Christmas my Mom bought me an rc10. It still sits there on my shelf to this day. And on top of that it has the A stamp. 😀
Love it Glenn, this and the Tamiya Frog are the reasons I got into the hobby back in the early 80’s🥰🥰🥰
LOL!!! I do the same thing after a build. Stare at it for a while. My wife laughs every time.
Beautiful car. I love to see someone passionately nerding out over an RC car, it makes me smile because I know the feeling and I love it. Well done , thank you.
Epic with the wing and Epic without the wing! Probably best with for me though Glenn! Yeah needs the driver figure! But seriously my friend this looks bloody gorgeous!
A Champion in many ways!!!What a thing and boxart is the best! This is a special one Glenn it really is!
I have to agree. The RC10 gold pan has been my most desirable car. Still haven’t owned one, but hopefully one day.
Sometimes I’ll put a car on my coffee table to just admire for a week or two.
I totally get it.
👍👌🤌
Thanks for another great video Glenn.
Missed your uploads 😢
Beautiful buggy!!! Keep the wing, it sets it apart!!!👍👍👍
Congrats! This car is a classic for a reason. Thanks for sharing and very well done on the build. Enjoy!
oh boy, this is my Unicorn. Awesome!!! You nailed it absolutely, the box art is unbelievable!
It was a golden era truly. So much competition between the manufacturers, as well as battery and charging tech development. The modern cars may go like hell, but they don't stop everyone in their tracks like these old beasts do.
I started back into RC after a long break around 2015 intending to be a continuing Tamiya/Kyosho fan-boy... The internet decided for me that the Gold Pan was actually what I should want ...but where were they? The Classic re-releases were all but gone but after a long and what felt fruitless search I was delighted to find the last one in a model shop in Finland at a standard price. What a belter - nothing else like it and I completely share your enthusiasm. That wing is great as well. May have to do that on mine 😁
What a stunning RC10 Glenn!
Always loved the look of them back in the 80's and still they look gorgeous today!
That’s a gorgeous rc10, and that custom wing looks so good on it. A true classic rc. Thanks for sharing!!! 👍
That looks like perfection. See what you mean about with or without the wing. Great video 👍🏻
I will get one of these someday. I had a gold chassis as a kid and always dreamed of building it but never got the parts. Threw the chassis away with my old Blackfoot and qd midnight pumpkin when we cleaned my dads house out after he passed away.
Nothing cooler than a box art gold pan RC 10
Wow, that RC10 looks absolutely stunning, the colour looks spot on! It is bloody gorgeous!!!!
You have the most beautiful collection. Your shelving looks like a museum display.
Looks stunning Glenn!
Never have I done a rc10 myself, nor have I seen one in real life.
But it still one of those which grabbed me when I got my RCCA magazine each month back in the days.
DEEP nostalgic feelings on this one friends...remember the kits bronze bushings (you put graphite on/in them). Bearings were stupid expensive back then(mid 80s). Also remember the mechanical speed control kit came with. Piano wire for linkages. You could call Team Associated directly for help/advice...someone would pick up!
The tires were really realistic but you soaked them in WD40 to soften them.
A lot of the kit's parts didn't fit at all, lots of hand work on early kits but that was normal.
Never was big with Team Associated and Losi back in the day, just knew them from magazines, but they weren't available in my LHS and I was always more a 4WD guy, than 2WD. So the RC10 is a real unicorn for me, great to see your very nice example.
So sick! I'm 47 and this is on my list for the collection. Very nice
Love it my dude! 😍 Just pop a 6 cell Nicad pack in it to squish the suspension down to the right height. 😉 Maybe add sway bars.
Now you've got me thinking I need to get a new shell for mine and paint it up just like that. (or get someone to paint it for me 🤫) And then run it a few times before putting it back on the shelf. Basically I can't have an RC or slot car without running it at least a few times.
Love it! This was the car many of my friends had when growing up. I never had the "normal" RC10, but I built a few RC10L on-road cars. So much fun!
Nice one Glenn. Raced against many RC10s back in the 80s in the UK, always remember the gold metal chassis looked stunning and they were quick before 4wd took over. Remember meeting sponsored team drivers who had come over from the US to race with tons of kit like a F1 team taking on a bunch of amateurs 😍
Love it. Love the colour! I wonder how many dozen of us had one back in the day, sold it and now bitterly regret it! The wing looks great, I don't care if it is correct or not.
The grin on your face through the whole video says it all!! Cracking looking car.
My best friend got one when they were released and I was blown away by how great they were (I only had a Marui Hunter at the time). So many great memories of us dying all that white nylon in his mums pots on the stove which was also a thing at that time also. Along with the weet smell of "Reedy In A Can" motor spray.....fun times
Omg this brings back memories!!! Wow. I loved building it, modding it and racing!!!
Absolutely amazing looking RC Glenn
Very nice buggy Glenn. I have to cut, paint, decal the body on mine one of these days. Yeah just make vids when you feel like it my man. We'll still be here.
I do love the look of this car, so iconic. I have one in the loft that I bought several years ago, really have to get it bumped up the restoration list! Great job Glenn.
An absolute legend and a beauty! Love that rear spoiler too. I rarely saw photos of this back in the day on the floor, they were always airborne shots. Great memories! Cheers Glenn
Lots of memories of watching the competitive races back in the day. The hot, modified class buggies made the most amazing sound, ripping around my local track. Love the original livery too.
RC10, the Frogger, and the Tamiya King Cab were my childhood favorites - when i put the Twister Motor in my Tamiya, it was a BMX track legend lol.
As a known TH-camr would say - -WHAT A THING!! 😍That is the car we all dreamt of back in the day, but could never afford, nor was it ever available where I lived. I'm so imensly happy I managed to get the rere car a few months back!! I know I will be staring at it once it's built 😊 I found the picture of the car with silver wheels - very nice indeed!! Have you seen the one with Tamiya Fox Golden wheels?
Edit:
Oh and by the way, I really like that wing!!
Great looking buggy and i like it better without the wing.
What a treasure.. love the RC10 stunning Glenn 😊👍👍🥇Pete
Damn, that’s a beautiful car.
What a great car to make a return to RC Legends. This is going to be a hard one to beat.
Awesome job mate.
The Team Associated RC-10 is my absolute favorite RC out there! I’ve got a re-release with a box art painted body as well, then I have edinger which is my runner. Then I just bought my Dad a RC-10 Cadillac version that we are going to re build that I found local here where I live!! Then I have a RC-10T that I’m in the process of finishing! Very nice classic you got there!
A Grasshopper and an Rc10 are what got me into RC cars.
Great job Glenn, it looks awesome! If you get a chance check out the Clint Eastwood movie The Dead pool, there’s an amazing scene which features an RC10. There is also a nitro pan car with a corvette C2 body shell which features a lot in the movie!!👍👊
Awesome car! Definitely one to have in a collection!
You know, the off white looks great with the orange. It’s aged like a fine wine.
I remember these at Yennora Hobbies in 1985 and were $330 (Australian $). The kit only. The Tamiya Hotshot was $230 kit only and this was pricey enough.
I was always staring at it and remember the "Made in America" on the front of the box.
19/10❤ geeorgious😍! Such an icon. Great job Glenn👌 should be top shelf🤔🤨?
Great buggy bud love the glasses glen looking cool
One word for that buggy --> EPIC.
Just awesome I have one in box art and it’s the best look love the wing makes it look like a stock car glad to have you back keep up the good work👍
It looks fantastic Glenn and I do like the rear wing that is on there! It makes it unique but also looks like it belongs on there! I just painted my body this weekend and did it in the same color and decals. I was thinking of doing it in a custom paint job but it just felt right to do it in the box art! Those wheel nuts are a royal pain to find for a reasonable price, I am missing one front one as well but thankfully I can turn it to the one good side on display! LOL! Congrats on getting it wrapped up and it looks fantastic on display!
That is the Holy Grail RC for me.
That is a sexy looking buggy, hats of to you Glenn. 1st class result 👌
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I would suggest you put it where the gold Turbo Optima is so that it gets more light. 😁
Loving it Glenn 😅🎉
Me and my brother had two of them when we was kids. Love to have a new one again.
Your enthusiasm is contagious 🎉 it is a true 💎
This is awesome! I always wanted one of these when I was a kid!
I feel old. I owned this back in the day, + the world's addition. I hated the original gear box. My favorite was the RC10T. Still love the stealth transmission.
So I reckon a dogfighter next! and with the re-re in the new year, now maybe the perfect time. I love my RC10 also with the box fromthe original factory which is knackered but is part of its story. Love your box art version! Congrats and it does take your breath away a good RC10!! Sad aren't we!! 😆
Looks amazing you are right about the spoiler it looks great with or without it
I had a team model with the graphite chassis, that thing was absolutely insane racing it. I raced stock and modified with it, all dependant on what they were running mostly that day.
Dude your display cases are awesome!!! What a collection as the rc10 is a great addition.
Display is looking awesome Glenn
Great vid.
Great Cars. My friend used to race one, and a Cougar.
*Happy Days*
The 3 spoke nuts are called KNOCKOFFS..
What a beauty! I started racing when I was 8 and still have my original RC/10. I'm getting ready to fully rebuild it so I can run in the races at the local track. Trying to decide my approach if I want to go completely stock, or use newer components. I've been out of the hobby for over a decade and really want to get it running again. I'd love to compete with it but I'm not sure if that's viable with part availability, etc.
Looks superb, nice one :)
I have one in my garage. I am renewing it to teach my grandson about these cars...
That is nice ❤ Great video and was excited to see it in my feed!!
I used to lust after those cars. They cost an absolute fortune back then I’m sure they were about £200. Just for the kit. And back then it was an absolute fortune way out of my price range
You are both looking proper fit. Enjoy!
Sweet looking ! Im sure you been told. You Seriously need some car stands...tires will get flat spots..my rc 10 sat in a box for years...pulled it out and the the tires had flat spots ..had to put some tire foams in them to "balloon" them back out ...
Gorgeous 🤩👍
Wow, that’s a beauty!
Great Vid, as always Glenn! :)
I used to race one of those, it seemed another level of quality than others at the time.. we dyed all the white plastic black
Looks awesome. I would love an rc10. Good job mate 😊👍
Yep me too Dom!
@@mad-beerc3818 👍👍👍😊
My favourite car of all time , I still run one and love driving it
My losi jrx pro had a removable wing like that, I loved it!
Looks great!
Great video. No apology needed for adding that rear wing. A period correct aftermarket modification or two is Ok in my book. I cant tell you how many cars in my collection have RPM control arms or Trinity hop up parts! That car turned out great!
Missed you! Hope all is well. You are a good man & an asset to the hobby. RC10 is gorgeous!
I like the wing and the spotlights.
I HAD one back in 1987 with a Race Prep 540 motor and raced it and won. Upgrade from my Tamiya Grasshopper 😅
I still have mine since I was a kid. Bought new, thanks Dad. Oh never mind, I have the carbon fiber model.
Hopefully you have a "working" one you can run round a track a few times. These cars really are winners!
there is only one thing wrong with your RC10, it's not on the track. Nice job. She is stunning.
They don't get much better than. I used to watch them run after our famous heats back in 85. I really want one for the collection. For now I settle fora dt02 in rc10 bodies. Ps... The wing looks great.
She’s a beauty
Beautiful car... and collection. What stamp is the chassis? Cheers.
It's without a question it's the most iconic
I love my optima 4WD, the one with blue white and yellow box art. Box art as no wing
Keep the wing.
I used to race those and that wing works....
I still kick myself when I didn’t pick up one of the 30th Anniversary gold pan Re-Re’s
Beautiful car. 👍👍
Only thing I notice is that the hardware is aftermarket, looks like maybe aluminum or titanium with the wrong type used on the very front, should be black button head screws , also the shock top right below the shock caps should be gold, not aluminum color. Great car, had one in early 80's and have 3 now. You did a nice job, kudos to you!
