    egress rerelease in nov 2013

    in Re-Release Discussions

    Posted

    When I read the last few posts on here I realise just how much of a 35yr old (25yrs playing with RC) noob I am lol. Sticking in a ballrace set, putting in a slightly quicker motor and err, oh yeah, a higher capacity battery is about as far into 'modification' as I've ever known. Actually wait, no, I am hardcore as I changed the amount of spacers in my shocks once!

    I don't even know what half of what you chaps are saying even means ha haaaa. Man, I've not even dabbled with the dark arts either, you know, brushless and all that lipo stuff ;)

    Gimme a bog standard Egress, a sport tuned motor, a 3500mah NIMh and a little off roading and I'll feel like king of the world.

    Explains why I was rather crap at racing in my youth ;)

    & i was talking about . To high of a price , this is why it's still there :D..

    Also, does anybody trust an eBay seller with a pre-order? I certainly don't. 'Pre-order now and by the time the thing releases I can walk away with your cash as we've passed the cut off date with eBay to ask for a refund' ;)

    RC10 original gold pan re-release - RCCA july 2013

    Call me crazy, but I don't understand the obsession with the number of kits being released. It seems like if you are an RC10 fan, you'd get one or two regardless of the production numbers.

    Crazy.

    Only kidding ;)

    I think the reaction to the numbers was down to the fact that TA announced it as a limited run with a specific production run number, which now seems unlikely to be true. If TA had simply said 'hey world, guess what, we're making the RC10 again and we'll keep making it for as long as you keep buying it' and everyone would have simply been going 'oooooh must buy, must buy, must buy'.

    I think that's all that it boils down to. I've never really cared for the car and don't really care about how many are made, but when I saw the box art, it pulled that nostalgia string which triggered my wallet to open, money to fall out and land on a pre-order ;)

    Thanks mate! Blimey, I thought each shop were only getting a dozen or so each. Obviously not ;)

    I get the impression we're talking hundreds even. I asked if I could add some paint to my order...he paused...and then basically said no lol. Reason being is that there are SO many RC10's going out that to make any order changes now would basically be impossible. He sounded stressed ha haaa.

    Hmmm, I've not heard anything :(

    Me either, I rang them as their stock levels say 'good stock' and my order status says 'back-ordered', so I wanted to ensure I was getting one. When I rang them he basically said that its shipping pandemonium there today as they have a bazillion RC10 pre-orders to post out in time for next day delivery tomorrow. So don't expect your status to change but do expect your delivery tomorrow.

    I still say it is a limited edition kit, but the numbers provided on this one and only run will ensure anyone wanting a kit this year will have no trouble doing so.

    That makes a lot of sense actually. Make enough to flood a years worth of sales, make a nice wad off the back of it, halt production and create a collectors item after only one year. Makes good business sense as it will allow them to do follow up models in a similar vein and make the first kit become even more desirable...aaaaaaaand influence people to pre-order their follow up models.
