Ah yes the Team Associated - RC10, the vehicle Jil Losi Sr. & Jil Losi Jr. helped create for Team Associated when they worked for them before starting Team Losi.
We could hear your joy when unboxing this classic 😊 I hope my order will come (pre-ordered from a famous european shop in Germany, not long before they stopped and said they won't receive a lot 🤕🤞), if not, it is what it is... Enjoy the build 👍🤝
I am glad you got yours! Thanks for the look through the contents. I am a little worried about mine, it is showing delayed in transit so of course the worst case stuff runs through my head! Looking forward to seeing yours built, I am still on the fence with mine. Enjoy the build Ari!
No Remote? No Motor? No Battery? I had my RC-10 when I was young, my whole family was lucky enough to race as our Dad had a good job. I remember having to buy a "servo" I think to upgrade the Remote.. what was the original called? When I traded it for a toolbox years later, I had a large collection of motors, batteries, gears and tires.. Damn I miss that thing!
I ordered mine 2 weeks after the release announcement, had to wait cause I already shot my wad on the redcat fusion crawler, and had no idea about this. Who knows if there will be enough left for me. It is amazing how many people come out of the woodwork to buy any iteration of an rc10. This one was supposed to be limited to one per person, so maybe it will stop some of the horders, with unlimited funds, and a soft spot for this old buggy.
To answer a question you asked in the video, my RC10 CC kit that I'm building now (purchased Mar 2024) had the body inside a bag just like your 40th. I'm waiting on my 40th to get shipped.
That’s odd as my cc the body wasn’t in a bag , and the chassis was loose inside the body and scuffed the body , I contacted ae and within 48 hours a new body arrived
I rewatched my unboxing video of the CC... my body wasn't wrapped and the chassis was facing up and also wasn't wrapped which attributed to the inside the body getting scratched up. If yours was wrapped and not scratched than you're one of the lucky ones.
If they were selling replacement parts I'd consider buying one. I sold my mint A stamp during COVID because it was just collecting dust (and the price skyrocketed). If I bought one of these I'd like to actually drive it and not worry if I break something. By the way, the original ReRe is about the same price as these now.
Nice, i got my pre order in as soon as i could, just hope i get it 🤞 still a while before we get them in the UK 😭 but cant wait to get it out on the track 👌
I got mine yesterday. The thing that I find interesting is that the chassis is numbered. However, You have to open the box to find out what number you got? Thoughts?
one of my biggest suggestions for the Clear RC10 was to laser etch something on the chassis and to have them numbered. So.... I'm glad Team Associated did that with this kit. I like the laser etching, the 40 stamped into the chassis and its a holographic sticker placed on the inside of the chassis. I like it very much.. However, much like anything you collect in todays time... I don't think these kits will hold value like NIB kits that are from the 80s and 90;s. How often do you come across NIB vintage RC10 kits... not often.. Tons of people are collecting the 40th anniversary kit to keep it as an investment. So in years to come, plenty will still be in circulation and will be asking stupid money.
@@RCRetro You are right, very few original RC10s were saved new in the box. They were raced and enjoyed. I do have an original "A" stamped RC10. I spent a long time getting the correct parts for it. I first tried to use the 30th version of the RC10. The parts are a different gold color. I wonder if the gold color on the 40th matches the original or the 30th? Sounds like a future video to me. I did sell all of my 30th parts that I bought for a lot of money just before this 40th came out. Not sure if that was a good move. Thoughts?
Nice one. I blame you I didn't even want this.. or the cc and now I have both.. just ordered this one. I already have my original from '86 that I built with my dad and I have a couple other mint originals. Absolutely no need for this but what are you going to do ;)
thats exactly what I did my friend. started building mine today.. Did Bag A, B and part of C. So dumb they send out kits and the digital code thing isn't working cause they never posted the directions yet... SMH...
@@RCRetro i have got mine done to the point of the trans basically waiting on a bearing kit. i never found spare e clips in my kit either. lucky to have some in my parts stash. so in the meantime am working on the body, going for the box art look for the most part, not the easiest build so far imo.
Just going to keep it a roller... No electrics. It would have been nice for Team Associated to come out with a vintage motor label like yokomo did for the Dog Fighter.
Yes correct. I got a little ahead of myself in the video and said "Produced In USA" and right after I shot the video remembered that AE was bought out and is produced overseas now. And of course looked at the box again and saw "Designed in the USA".
It doesn't bother me. There are so many digital scans of the original manual online plus you can use the RC10CC manual for this one. Besides all they would do is put the 40th logo on the manual they used for the CC... no biggie.
should be a classic paper assembly manual included. going cheap with internet scan. nice video man.
I was thinking the same thing. If you build a retro RC, building off a digital screen will ruin the experience.
Now I have to dig my RC10 out of the garage. I've not looked at it in ten years!
That kind of money Should give you a manual Book. That's kind of part of the fun Reading the Book.
Ah yes the Team Associated - RC10, the vehicle Jil Losi Sr. & Jil Losi Jr. helped create for Team Associated when they worked for them before starting Team Losi.
That is correct.
Good to see the original nylon parts have stayed, along with the old six gear trans.
I got mine yesterday #1776 🇺🇸
Awesome number!!!
Did not know this was happening. Saw your video and immediately ordered one. Most excited I’ve been to get an Rc car!
We could hear your joy when unboxing this classic 😊 I hope my order will come (pre-ordered from a famous european shop in Germany, not long before they stopped and said they won't receive a lot 🤕🤞), if not, it is what it is... Enjoy the build 👍🤝
I hope you get one. Stay positive and fingers crossed.
@RCRetro Well, it seems you brought good omens as I received the shipping notice 🤩🤝
I am glad you got yours! Thanks for the look through the contents. I am a little worried about mine, it is showing delayed in transit so of course the worst case stuff runs through my head! Looking forward to seeing yours built, I am still on the fence with mine. Enjoy the build Ari!
I'm sure it will show up sooner than you think.
@@RCRetro I did get a new notification last night is in Maryland now so it got past its delay point somewhere between CA and MD!
As soon as I saw the box on your table, I knew what happened and went right to their website Kev.
I
Thanks for opening yours, because I am not opening mine. Never opened the first rere still sealed. I got mine from my local hobby shop. Great video.
Mine was supposed to arrive yesterday but was delayed due to a rain derailment. I’m looking forward to receiving mine.
The box stand is awesome. Would’ve been cool if they had packaged it in bubble packs like the original though.
Thanks for sharing. I’d given up on ever getting one, so glad it’s being re-released and really looking forward to getting mine in a month or so 👍

So ppl who don’t open it want get the full feel I like that 👌🏾
Looks awesome, funny how people never do the driver figure on the Rc 10. Hope you do add the driver.😎👍🏼
There will be a driver figure. Promise.
@@RCRetro nice! It’s not 100% complete without the driver. It’s always left out with this car. We need to bring that back with this classic!😎👍🏼
Congrats mate. Wish I couldda afforded one atm, no doubt there will be none available in the future.
Very nice! Looking forward to follow the build of it👍
Nice, i got my pre order in as soon as i could, just hope i get it 🤞 still a while before we get them in the UK 😭 but cant wait to get it out on the track 👌
I like that better than the CC. Beautiful Gold.
Wow I did not know AE sent kits out already. Mine is still awaiting fulfillment.
same here, I bought it april 18
@@basher-85 Mine was April 19. LOL
I get mine Monday! Super stoked!
Congratulations Ari!
😅 check the inside part of the chassis
I got mine last Friday ❤🎉 awesome 😎
quality content here bro . i dropped a like i'm watching and supporting fully
Received my this afternoon. Cannot decide on the motor. A new brushless Reedy or a vintage Reedy. 🤔

I got mine last week. Had plans to build and race, but decided to upgrade my ebuggy so selling atm.
Nice Thunder Tiger
Nice one. I blame you I didn't even want this.. or the cc and now I have both.. just ordered this one. I already have my original from '86 that I built with my dad and I have a couple other mint originals. Absolutely no need for this but what are you going to do ;)
Exactly... no need for it other than to say "I got one" lol.... and have fun building it.
Very nice !
0:40 Did not look like Doug Heffernan 😉
This is already sold out- hope they make a second build of them
Excited for you buddy. Mine is delayed unfortunately. Prayers are it’s ok though.
the digital code isnt working yet. though the cc is the same car and you can get the manual off the AE website
thats exactly what I did my friend. started building mine today.. Did Bag A, B and part of C. So dumb they send out kits and the digital code thing isn't working cause they never posted the directions yet... SMH...
@@RCRetro i have got mine done to the point of the trans basically waiting on a bearing kit. i never found spare e clips in my kit either. lucky to have some in my parts stash. so in the meantime am working on the body, going for the box art look for the most part, not the easiest build so far imo.
What motor choices and electronics are you all considering?
Just going to keep it a roller... No electrics. It would have been nice for Team Associated to come out with a vintage motor label like yokomo did for the Dog Fighter.
lol
Mine came in today as well
They should keep this out permanently for people to buy.
I just hope to get one for bashing.
It's designed in the USA, butt made in Taiwan...
Yes correct. I got a little ahead of myself in the video and said "Produced In USA" and right after I shot the video remembered that AE was bought out and is produced overseas now. And of course looked at the box again and saw "Designed in the USA".
Are you going to race it in the deep woods racetrack?
Nope
@@RCRetro why not?
They are in fact very limited. We here in Germany only get miniscule doses of the kit. Very unfortunate and unfair.
What are your thoughts on the lack of a manual?
It doesn't bother me. There are so many digital scans of the original manual online plus you can use the RC10CC manual for this one. Besides all they would do is put the 40th logo on the manual they used for the CC... no biggie.
Vintage!!!!!
Mine's delayed by a train derailment. 😢
In today.
No bearings. Poo. I have one on the way. Guess Ill need a bearing kit.
Unfortunately not. I don't plan on running mine so the metal ones will do.
i think tamiya needs to stop playing around and rerelease the dyna-storm
I agree 100 percent.
This is cool but for $400 no stealth and plastic parts really not worth it.
Dont waste time replying to this comment . Build.... hurry up. Hehe
Top rig Brother!! Thatz a lot of cool 😎
