Now i don't get it either

May I ask why you go to all this trouble to remove paint? Sand Viper body sets are still available new for little money

It sounds to me like a defective potentiometer on your transmitter, especially on the throttle channel. If you want to check this, you can try to teach the ESC on the steering channel and see if the calibration works there.

If there is no technical solution with other parts, I often use a little trick to visually improve the shortcoming: Negative wheel camber: a negative wheel camber conceals the empty wheel arches quite well and “widens” the track for the eye. Lower the bodywork: the lower the wheel arch sits above the wheel, the less noticeable the empty space between the tire and the bodywork. I usually use a combination of both.

Have a NIB rere with the tranny Upgrade kit, it's untouched, all there. In case you are considering an original vintage XLS, i have a NIB as well, it's 98% original. I remember to have put in 2 wheels of the Rere as they were missing when i bought it years ago ( this was long before a Rerelease)

Weirdest thing i've seen here for ages !! Wow, this thing is really awesome. All that's missing is the OUTTATIME license plate. The choice of engine surprises me a little - I would have expected our legendary Conrad engine, which would have coped better with the extra weight and would have accelerated the thing to 88mph to travel into the future.

Okay, from a usability point of view, I absolutely agree with you: this thing is probably much better to drive than Jay's hastily thrown-together prototype 40 years ago. I want to stop complaining now, after all, the car is an absolutely successful and welcome change after all the color variants - it's just that it doesn't quite match what I had hoped for.

I second that. As I mentioned before- I somehow don't quite understand AE's promo video: There's original footage of Halsey racing from the Worlds, but the car in this kit has virtually nothing to do with it, visually or technically. Apart from the fact that in both cases it is an RC10 4WD. It kind of comes to me as “Hey, we actually wanted to bring back halsey's car (from the video), but instead we went over the books again and added a few changes, hope you don't mind, as long as it's still all-wheel drive."

Hmm...I look at the video and somehow have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I think the idea is super cool. On the other hand, when I look at the original footage with the original car that Halsey is holding in his hands from back then, I don't recognize too many similarities. Particularly, at first glance, the modern dish rims are disturbing, as they don't fit into the 80s at all. I would have liked a conversion that was a little closer to the original car. Maybe Asso will come up with a Halsey variant here...

In general, I would also like to point out that the use of pictures from such brochures as a reference should always be treated with caution. In many cases, prototypes were used as photo models, which do not necessarily represent 1:1 the model as it went into series production. I have already seen interesting early prototypes here, some of which show not inconsiderable differences. I own one Subaru Brat with lots of oddities which was used as a pre-production model at exhibitions.

Now that's what I call good news! Apparently, AE have realized that they need to put the color cube aside and bring something really new to keep the fans going. Well done !

Unfortunately I have no intention of buying it, but hey: what a fantastic set with a real vintage feel, and for a very reasonable price! Thumbs up - hope it finds a good home

Exactly my thoughts. That's why i ended with the Classic and the Halsey. I'd probably buy a Masami or similar if they poop one out...

In all seriousness - what is this all about? Golden plated wheels and another decal sheet, and the Metalic Edition is ready? or have I missed something? Ok, apparently there are actually people who buy something like this in the 6th version, otherwise they would hardly bring it. But to be honest, AE is becoming more and more of a laughing stock for me, and somehow I think it's a shame that an RC10 of all things has to be used for this. The car was once a pioneering legend, a milestone in the development of RC models.

I have just gotten the answer from T. This will not be available outside their domestic (Japanese) market sadly due to some licensing issues. This is a real pity indeed
