  1. I'm referring to 380 for the gold pan. I hate to promote Tower but you can get an Egress for less than that after discounts. Not only it it a way more complex kit, but I would argue the quality and materials are better as well not to mention the presentation. I honestly doubt the plastics cost more. Exactly, so that leads me to believe that AE would want to take advantage of volume sales after having invested so much to get this into production. My prediction is that they release this under the "40th Anniversary" guise to capitalize on FOMO at a higher price and then re-re a standard version for the masses who are not willing to go that high. Best of both worlds from their side and they won't get flak because the 40th is still "special"
  2. Why would this cost almost 20% more than the clear though? I don't disagree that it's a good car, but it really does feel excessive for such a basic kit. Heck you can get an Egress for about the same price. I still want one but I'm hesitant because of the price. I'll either miss out or pick one up once we see a discount it if they're not selling. Can't help but feel that most buyers are considering this an investment and that AE would have made a lot more $$ selling a higher qty at $320.
  3. Yes you can, the small motor has a plastic adapter plate. Just omit that and you can screw in the large motor directly.
  4. That's why I don't want to pre-order. If it's in stock then I can pay with Paypal so there are no issues, but giving them carte blanche with my credit card is another story.. I'm at least glad to see that they have a coupon again, hopefully they saw a hit in sales when they removed them and have learned their lesson. Now they just have to sort out the inventory/pre-order mess.
  5. Tempted to try it on an Egress but I'm worried they'll screw up the pre-order.
  6. This is a great coupon! Thank you so much!
  7. MSRP of $589 is way too much IMO. It is a cool model though and I hope they will release a more accessible variant in the $300-400 range.
  8. I actually think this is good because the RC10CC is selling really well and the B6.4CC probably won't. This should send AE a clear message that there is big demand for the vintage stuff. I just hope they actually re-re the gold pan that we all want and not another variant.
  9. Just saw they're releasing a B6.4CC https://www.associatedelectrics.com/news/latest_products/2807-new-rc10b64cc-collector039s-clear-edition-kit/ Not really as interesting to me as the RC10CC but intriguing none the less..
  10. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity! Basically an ad on a coin 😂
  11. Can someone post a picture of this famous coin 😂 I live in Canada so I guess they didn't bother to send me one and I'm curious to see it! Still clinging on to the hope that they'll send out my Optima 60th that I pre-ordered with a nice coupon..
  12. Kai City RC just did an unboxing on YouTube for those interested
  13. For driving Monster Trucks, for building/admiring 4wd Buggy
  14. Agreed! That's a really nice touch that costs them virtually nothing!
  15. Good to know, hoping they hit the US before 2024. At the very least looking forward to seeing all the review videos on YT!
