I haven't built a rere Avante, I know the OG has ratios and recommended gears for the Tamiya motors. I could've sworn my Egress had a rec, checking .....

The build is looking very good. I can live vicariously through you and this build while I collect the parts to build mine.

They are pretty tough, nice use of using what's on hand to overcome some adversity!

They are releasing them a little fast. Fan RC is strait running away with their money with the Graphite Worlds car (really a graphite team car). Maybe AE woke up and sees a viable market.

Very nice, I think mine is arriving today, Ill be suing a HW Just Stock 10.5.

As delivered. Ummmm whats with the Death Star and YODA names…LOL. I just noticed that. The box is of pretty high quality, I guess because it was made to be a display stand. Inside the parts are nicely organized with the bags lettered to match up with the step in the manual. Every screw, nut, and plastic part needed for the step are located in the bag. I purchased a reproduction chassis and a used nose plate that has some battle scars, I dont want to subject the 40th gold parts to abuse. Bearing and worlds steering from Fan RC to be used during the build. Fan RC is using Nylon for their parts, its not just 3d prints. The quality and dimensions of Fan RC parts are parity to AEs. If I didn’t already have a team car build in process currently, I would’ve purchased Fan Rc’s Worlds Graphite car, great stuff! Fan RC Worlds steering installed, super smooth. Getting the front suspension ready to build, all in one bag, love the organization here. This Is my first New RC10 build, loving how the bags contain everything needed for the step. image to url Front end ready to install. The parts are really white, whiter then the other rc10s that Ive rebuilt that were more of a cream color. Not sure if these are actually whiter then what they were in the 80s, or if the ones I have were just a different shade due to age. The castor blocks are 30 degrees which is different then the OG RC10 Gold Pans. I believe the 30 degree blocks came latter as options and were only standard on the Worlds car. Im ok with the aggressive castor, I love the turn in of the team and world cars. On the car That kick up and castor, theres the reason why my friends RC10s turned better then my Astute when I was a kid.

Well the Gold Pan is done and it was a joy to build. All the parts where there, the quality is impecabaly, the instructions are ok, and the only difficult part was the 6 gear trans it has alot of parts and does not forgive mistakes easily. Sattle up and enjoy the build. Updated 8/3/24. The RC10 bug bit me in 2020 when I found a near perfect team car on a local for sale website. A couple moves since then and that team car has been sold, another is being restored, and with AE celebrating their 60th a new run of RC10 classics have been released. Im a Tamiya fan through and through, my first car was an Astute that I still have and drive with my son, but the lack of exciting reres from Tamiya (for me anyway) and a desire to build a new RC10 not a restoration had me wanting the RC10 CC or Worlds but I wasn’t going to pay $1000 for a NIB. I regretted not getting the RC10 classic 10 years ago (!!!!!) and jumped at the chance to get one when it was rerere’d as the 40th anni. This will be a back yard runner, and an occasional track day car. The 40th chassis and nose plate will stay in the box until I either sell it or transfer it to the shelf, BUT I have no shelfers…. Here we gooooo.

Yeah the OG Gold Pans had the 6 gears trans, around 1990 the stealth came out as an option hop up and then trickled into kits as the RC10 Team Car, Rc10 Chamption editions, and worlds cars. I think you are right 870 = YZ10.

Kind of, the King Cab and Dyna Blaster were first with the Kingcab having alot of success at local tracks during the time of the 1st Gen JRXTs, RC10Ts, and conversion trucks.

1 million percent! Same for me. Its probably the main reason Ive been drawn to AE.

Yes the 80s servo saver is one of the root causes for the poor steering, also the way Tamiya routes the steering rods is also counter productive, flop them, add the largest metal servo saver you can find and lock out the servo saver on the gearboxes (eliminate the spring) and the steering is vastly improved. On axles servos is the best but they kill the looks of the Clod in my opinion.

Good Qs. The T came out 5ish years later after the original RC10. The RC10T features the stealth transmission which has been copied by every manufacture and is basis for today's 3 gears transmissions. The stealth can take any modern brushless and lipo HP that you can throw at it. I'm not sure about the original 6 gear RC10 trans, but I'll be throwing serious HP at it as well. The RC10T came out at a time when stadium trucks were all the rage when conversion kits for 2wd buggies was the way to go racing if you don't have a JRXT or Kingcab. If you like 4wd the YZ10 just got officially announced by AE today, another very Iconic buggy.

I can smell the 80s awesomeness from here! Love it!

Is there Any difference other then the body?

Man, AE is coming off the ropes! Now Im regretting the 10T Purchase!

Maybe, the Super Astute was the last "new" rere and that was what, 2018. Everyhting else has been a rebody or another run of the same old same. Lord knows the one rebody alot of people want they wont do, the Avante 2001.

Come on Tamiya let's go! AE has brought out: OG RC10 - let's see the OG Astute RC10T is out - Perfect time for a rere Kingcab and Monster Racer 870/YZ10 are out - time to bring out a an Avante 2001! Wow us again Tamiya!

Just scored a pair of OG 3 piece front wide wheels. Need bearing, another HW just stock and it'll be build time.

I spy some old school front wheels, I'm on the hunt! Very nice sir!

This is all good, but seriously who actually broke these parts. I'm not a great driver and my team car holds up amazingly well.

I wonder if AE is actually paying attention to forums and the fact that Fan RC is making PERFECT replicas of their Gold and black pan parts.

It's a pretty big deal! Tamiya BARELY supports their rere and they are a much larger company. Everyone buy front and rear arms, hubs , and a gear box case!

....and they are still available, wifey will.not be happy.

I like trucks, kind of regret not getting one now!!!

What! They come numbered, well that's super cool!
