If they are anything like the the CC version  theres still 15 at a shop I sometimes use, at over 500 CDN a pop I do not think there going to dissapear? I want parts as im putting the tubs away and will order extra bodys and tubs asap as i want runners!     I cannot find spares and fix the ones i have sitting that are worn out and I sold the ones with stealth Trannies and could kick myself. I had 2 stores over the years and still have 60.000$ plus in just Tamiya and about 15.000 in models let alone planes boats etc odd kits?

Yeah, the CC version sold out so quickly on the AE website, but at least in Canada there's a lot of stock sitting around. Maybe because the shops got them so late all the hype had died down, and the reviews had come in about the issues with the PC parts cracking? 

Funny how this is anticipated to be a very limited release but AE website are still accepting orders.

How do you know what number you are? The order number?

[GTodd]

Ahhh my order number is 1872. I'll call them tomorrow.

Lots of people saying they can't find parts. Where are you looking? They are all over online, and fine RC has everything.

My order number was around 2700 and I received an email today saying that it has shipped. Whilst this is great news, it is being delivered to my friends in Florida and I won’t be visiting them to collect it (from Scotland) until the autumn.

Mine is #3200, but all it says is "awaiting fulfillment" 

If anyone lives in NY, did you get charged sales tax? I checked PayPal and says it charged only the 379 to my account. Hmmmmm.

Granted your local hobby shop won't have the hardware you need, sigh. The interwebs does.

Woops, its Fan RC. I can not for the life of me find their main site right now. Their parts are PERFRCT repros.  Heres a link to a vendor that carries their stuff.

OH, I just notice they are reproducing B3 front arms.  I need a spare set.

I stopped running my B3 because I broke an arm and genuine AE NOS replacements (the only thing available at the time) were crazy expensive.

Thank you again Fan RC.  

[GTodd]

Yeah, thats a dangerous site!!!! Their shocks, everyhting are spot on.

Everything just about is out of stock? Do they make batches every so many months?

There's other vendors that sell them too, that one is out of stock alot. I need to find the direct site again 

 

[GTodd]

Woot! 1872 has shipped. It'll be in my hands tomorrow. I need to order 3 hobby wing just stock combos (Dyna Storm, Team Car, And this) as well as a used gold pan and front mount. The stock one will be saved in case I ever turn it into just a shelfer (not likely).

Same user name on a bunch of forums, and I was just as surprised as you when I tripped on a post of yours for the first time 😂. You gotta be kidding about NJ though! We'll you're probably North, and I'm South, so you can continue to give me a hard time 😂

Well I can't believe I'm going to say this, but....I may cancel my pre order for the 40th rc10. 

Reason.

I found an original, Kyosho Turbo Ultima new-in-the-box, within driving distance, from someone who is clearing out an estate. Apparently someone had collected many rc cars back in the day. They also have an original avante in shrink wrap, Ultima pro XL, kyosho double dare, bolink invader, and that Kyosho Corvette monster car from back in the day. All are NIB, unreal. They want 2,500 firm for the avante 

My eye is on the turbo ultima....my other dream car 

The rc10 will have to go, if I get the Ultima. 

What a situation, lol

I feel you, if Tamiya announced Tomorrow that they were coming out with the OG Astute of Kingcab id cancel too.

[GTodd]

Gah, the 40th was at AE form over a day before UPS picked it up. I have to wait for Friday now!

[GToddC5]

^ Mine appears to still be on track for tomorrow as well, according to email from UPS. I wonder if our boxes have been travelling together this whole time!

[magnumb]
