    I feel like with the body kits being available separate, and now the steal transmission case, it's a good indicator that they may be looking to bring back support for these cars.

    I didn't know that. Sounds promising. I only mentioned tooling etc because I read somewhere that reinforced plastics are much hard on the moulds and wear them out quicker.

    I don't think AE particularly cares what people use the cars for, and I doubt it was targeting specifically at "shelf queeners".
     

    Wasn't a dig a those who like to have shelf queens. I just find it odd from a company that has it's history in race only vehicles that they wouldn't just release it as a competition retro race buggy, with full spares back up and option parts (Like Kyosho's JJ Ultima). As you've said, maybe they will, but I would have thought they'd have done that first. Also, maybe the tooling is so expensive that limited runs are the only option.

    The whole idea of a limited-edition RC10 with a display box (!) is just wrong.

    Agreed. I had decided that I would get one to use if they ever released them again. But not now. It's too expensive and with little to no spares back up it would end up as a gold paperweight....

    This makes me overthink my RC plans... The RC10 looks ubercool and I always wanted one. But would I build and drive a limited edition like this? Not so sure... But the itch to get one is certainly there. Tamico has announced it for June, but does not take pre-orders yet. 

    Tamico have ended their pre-orders. They posted this on Instagram:

    Today I’m grateful I don’t suffer from claustrophobia as the hobby room became a bit of a dumping ground recently. I’ve moved more stuff around than I care to remember over the last few months. But as Mr RB put Netflix on for another “Is It Cake!!” Series I’m making do until I clear up a bit to start putting a TT01 chassis together as a body prop for the Calibra.

    The good news that came for this mess is that I found the other missing Total sticker for the Fat Fox mirror inside the Frog tape container as I used it to tape a bar to the ceiling fan for the pic 😁 bonus. 

    I do like  a nice busy work area...:D
