I use the Tamiya 15.5t, and 10.5t in some of my Tamiya kits. What I really like about them is that they fit in almost everything since the wires are soldered on the end. I also like that they are completely sealed.

I'd like to know myself what engine is shown in the pic, Thunder Tiger? It would seem the old O.S. CZ line has been discontinued, except for the few high dollar ones on ebay.

47381 Super Astute (due December)

I found RCJaz and RCmart has this in stock at the moment. RCJaz has a coupon code for the month of December, -10% off that brings the kit after shipping fee's to a manageable amount. I chose the slower 7-20 day delivery rate, and its being provided by FedEx, well atleast that's what the provided tracking number says. -

For those in the U.S. waiting for this kit to arrive, looks like Horizon updated the ETA from December, to April 2025. I suspect Amain would be in the same time frame. I was hoping to get one local before the holidays, but looks like its going to be an overseas order for me. -

Have a look at RCmart, seems there are plenty of spares, and actual hop up parts like universal drive shafts, and hard suspension arms. -
I would look for the aluminum suspension mounts, aluminum suspension pin holders. The suspension pins are held on place by plastic pieces, that are known to be weak.

I thought I read somewhere the Team Associated spur gears were a direct drop in for running 48p gears. -

Looks like the Super Astute kits are starting to hit HK shops first. JazRC has them, RCmart had them, but quickly sold out. I noticed Tower moved ETA from January, to December. It should not be much longer now. -
Maybe true then. I actually had an original Team kit, my kit was a gold pan. The black chassis was from the RC10T truck, and was an option part from what I remember. I honestly do not remember seeing black pan Team kits at the track.

The Team Car was originally a gold pan chassis. It was basically all the improvements of the original RC10, long arm suspension, longer front shocks, and 3 gear stealth transmission all in one box. The black chassis RC10 would be the "Worlds" edition, which was the end of the RC10 line before the B2 came out.

RC10 Graphite - the next re-release from AE?
Hobbimaster replied to Wandy's topic in Re-Release Discussions
I see this particular "Graphite edition" release as more of an answer to Fan RC. There is obviously a demand for these older RC10 kits, and AE was too blind to see it, that is until Fan RC reproduced some of their models. Now to get Fan RC to make a JRX Pro, to persuade Losi to pull their heads out of their bums. -

I get what your saying, if Tower cannot fulfill my order, Amain will get my business. -

I'm thinking this is special pricing for pre-orders only. I can see it going up once actual stock arrives. Even though I had a order go MIA last year, I'm willing to give them one more shot at redemption since other orders have went though without issue. I was told there were issues with their new inventory software that has since been fixed. -

Thanks for the heads up! I'm torn between ordering from Tamico, or Amain.
