The Legend Returns! Associated RC10 RE-RE
When Associated announced they were going to re-release the original RC10 I couldn't put my pre-order in fast enough :) Anyhow after months of waiting I got stuck right in with the build. Decided to build it straight out of the box, no mods, no bearings, just as it comes. Didn't want to go box art so painted it in Tamiya Copper. Motive power comes courtesy of a vintage Reedy Modified motor coupled with a Novak Explorer II ESC and modern Spektrum radio gear. It's all ready to go. Just need some decent weather now :)

this don't half take me back, used to race one in the day - I cant believe I've resisted temptation for the re-re but I have so far. Looks cracking in the copper

Im a Tamiya man at heart but this is soo cool! The original gold pan is the only associated possibly the only 'proper' 2wd buggy I actually like and when i saw it was being rereleased I got very excited. Yours looks just how I would do it... RETRO! Awesome job Cheers Marcus

I've commented on this on Facebook - car looks great & the choice of colour is inspired! Any chance of some body-off shots?

I just ordered about $100 in new parts for my original one! This was a brilliant idea by Associated. Looks great!

Nice work, can't wait to build and drive one.
Mine turned up and has been stolen by the missus with the promise I'll get it back on Christmas Day. Damn it, another couple of months to wait.

These are really great to see new-built. Really nice work and love the color choice..close to the original but a little different for some originality. Mine is on it's way!

Nicely done. I've started my build but I haven't finished yet. I really like that color of orange you used.
GingerSpice
Very nicely done, and with a Pucker Colour

Nice job - was thinking copper myself, a far better tone to the chassis than the flat orange.

Re release I didn't no that.this thing looks stunning with that copper paint. I want one!

That looks great Sludgeguts. How do the new tyres feel?

Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad you all like it @Max Power, the tyres feel rubbery, a bit sticky actually and have a curious smell about them, like a mixture of rubber and fish (rubber fish?), although not an unpleasant smell I don't think.

Looks absolutely amazing. Quite possibly the perfect colour for it.

Just ordered one of these, and you have helped me decide on the colour. Good job!
