ITS ARRIVED! Team Associated 40th Anniversary RC10 Gold Pan

[@RCKickschannel]

RAFFALL will be live soon! raffall.com/RCKicks

[@MrBetamax75]

My trip started kicking in at 7.55

[@laserbeam1620]

Lol!! Acid flashback for me!!

[@Andrew-fr3bp]

Subscribed..... after finding about 2 dozen of my old RC Car Action magazines from 91-93 in great condition in my parent's attic, I want to get back into the hobby. These vintage re-issues look awesome!

[@RCKickschannel]

Welcome back to vintage RC. Things have boomed in the last few years and you will be amazed at what is available again. Brushless motors and lipo batteries have also made a massive impact on speed and run times. Yokomo, AE, Tamiya, Kyosho have all embraced the rerelease and we are now seeing more and more small after market companies popping up again.

[@scaleworksRC]

Thanks!

[@scaleworksRC]

More coming! 👍

[@RCKickschannel]

Thank you, that’s extremely kind. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@scaleworksRC]

@RCKickschannel No problem, I'm loving the Datsun!

[@NANNIRC]

THIS IS SUPER!! I made videos on it, not this but the vintage one. I love this ASSO! Bravo!!

[@alfredyost7972]

I am disappointed they do not include a manual. However, if you got the CC version of the RC10 that came with a manual and it would be the same. I am glad that you got one. Looking forward to the build video. Thoughts?

[@davidskala7652]

This car is awesome, I remember a couple years ago seeing the full size 1:1 they built. Even though I'm not a big buggy fan, I was like damn I would love to rock that thing as a daily driver.

[@Dat_Sun]

I would like to see some retro style new offerings from classic brands. Vintage 540 brushed motors and esc's are getting very expensive, if they even work.

[@J1Z06]

I couldn’t resist buying one at My local hobby shop. That makes five RC10’s lol! I have four originals plus the new one. I’ll probably put a 17.5 brushless 2s in the new one for starters. See how it likes that. Great video!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@robertcastro6489]

Wow that very nice of you to raffle it off since there is a lot people that wanted the kit but can not afford it....keep it up and more power

[@StaplesandVine]

Mine is 0309... The nylon colour is fine but the edges of the chassis pressing aren't pretty. Yours look the same as mine. Had an RC 10 back in the day and I remember the pressing being crisper on the edges. Looking forward to building mine, great vid. 🙂🙂

[@durbar546]

remember having a YZ10 as a kid and snapping the carbon top plate so used the touring car conversion kit shocks that came with it at the time to use them up front where it snapped would be worth a bit of cash now if I still had it

[@JeepsCafe]

You're lucky brother! Not too many of those kits made it to the UK.

[@71Dragtruck]

Haven’t opened mine, but no manual does suck, I have a one from a re re, but still they should have included one especially for an old collector edition car like this.

[@RCKickschannel]

I agree

[@agevan6735]

Great vid Gav!! Cheers for the added laughs, Banana knife got me!

[@turboboostHoonicow]

This YZ-10 is very nice! It's the "Pavidis" with lighter arms, Chassis, Associated Dampers, etc... Beautifull and expensive!

[@RCKickschannel]

Good eye, yep it's a Pavidis

[@fencer39]

@@RCKickschannel I reckon Yokomo will release the YZ10 next considering it was far more popular with racers than the 870 ever was. Also they'd be a bit daft not to cash in especially knowing what the trickbits goes for. But still you are gonna love it and Alby is a nice guy too !

[@Paul__FC]

Congratulations!!! I'm still waiting for a bashing kit.

[@TonyMartinTmxBmx]

Curious about the Orange Sand Rail / Orange next to the one with orange wheels. What is that? A Rail kit or ?

[@RCKickschannel]

I did a video on it. Knights Custom Sand Rail

[@JeffreyStrader]

"I have one from the early 80's, "NEVER BEEN RUN"....... "Still in 100% MINT CONDITION!"

[@lo2713]

Im gonna have to print the instructions out to build mine lol. I cant believe your letting this one go 😮 i aint letting mine go anywhere, except the track 😎 its gonna get some use 👍 great video as allways Gav, look forward to seeing more on the yokomo 👌

[@RCKickschannel]

Yep I know, this one I really wanted to keep but the bank account said, nope, nope, NOPE! LOL

[@lo2713]

@@RCKickschannel yeah, i know that feeling, so many kits i want. But bank says no, may have to move some on 😭

[@seanmiles681]

Just like to know can you put the biggest motor in an RC car where it's undrivable

[@irritablearchitect]

Yeah, WAITING for them to ship it...more than a week since the order. I'm patient.

[@danielcalladine6697]

How limited are these? Is there going to be more stock after this initial run as they seem to be sold out already?

[@RCKickschannel]

Not sure currently

[@ioskaioska5166]

Great Video! If you had to pick one : Tamiya Egress or RC10 ?

[@RCKickschannel]

Not much in it really so go with the one you like the look of the most. If I was going to vintage race it, I would go with the RC10 but for garden driving and shelf queen, whatever one makes you smile more

[@mariomessinese5287]

Well you are lucky you got yours already.. and I'm in California... I ordered mine on the 17th 😅

[@RCKickschannel]

It’s been super popular for Team Associated so logistics can be a real headache.

[@Lonesome_Loser]

What was that website with the rc10 parts?

[@RCKickschannel]

LandLModels

[@Lonesome_Loser]

Thanks.

[@SimRacingRc]

Hey love your channel and I was thinking that, you should do a follow up video showing how to cut and trim the body. I recently purchased a vintage 6001 kit and I can’t really find a video detailing on how to cut it. Being that they released several versions this past year, there are others like myself whom would greatly appreciate your expertise.

[@RCKickschannel]

I have done a good few videos on cutting out, painting and adding decals. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3SvqoZqnpKcoKssi=gIUSna4JuTs7a0kX

[@jonthomas8487]

I just got mine built. I ran it with some painter tape over the chassis. If I can make a chassis protector out of something I’ll run it more

[@cogboy302]

Flat sheet of lexan trimmed to the shape of the chassis pan, mounted with double sided tape?

[@BrianDodson-tr3tw]

Will parts be available for it? That way i can restore my original

[@RCKickschannel]

Loads of aftermarket parts out already for it

[@fencer39]

got mine too !

[@jamespeek3061]

Great vid as usual. I had to get 2 as i dont have an original in the collection and im not sure if they will ever do a basic gold pan rere. Another video I've watched said you have to notch the gear housing to fit the eclip. I hated hearing that and maybe you can find a work around when you build it. The kit really looks amazing and i love the color of anodizing they have chosen. Cant wait to build mine and cant wait to watch your build video. So Sorry you will auction yours off as this will be a legend!

[@anthonyromano6921]

Contemplated this kit for a hot minute. But have the RC10 Classic that already sits as a shelf queen.

[@RCKickschannel]

If you have one of these, be it a shelf queen vintage one or the original rere version, 100% having a 40th isn’t going to bring you much more really as it’s the same car. Well, unless you are a full blown TA collector and want one of everything and it’s your core collection. I’ve had a vintage RC10, a rere RC10, the CC and now the 40th and I just can’t justify keeping so many of the same buggy so I’ll stick with the vintage one. For me, I like one of each model release.

[@henrywashington3732]

That yz10 is nice. Those smooth rounded arms remind me of something.

[@DJ-wt1kc]

I have #815, which is pretty cool since I'm in the 815 area code.

[@jonthomas8487]

I just printed the manual and bound it with 3 staples

[@ShawnMoreland317]

I love this car and always wanted one, but at the price it's at, I won't be able to get one. It's a beautiful kit. Btw, didbyou happen to notice when the body shell fell behind you, that the box on the table slid a few inches toward the direction of where the body shell fell? What was that all about? 👻 😆

[@RCKickschannel]

:)

[@bluestove4716]

If memory serves me correctly, the original off-white nylon parts were dyeable?

[@alfredyost7972]

Hello Gavin, I have not yet seen a single KZbin video building the RC10 40th Anniversary kit. I wonder why? Thoughts?

[@danderso76]

Were you eating lunch while opening the box 😂

[@maxpaul11]

Colors are correct. Rc10 back in the day nylon was a cream color

[@stefberg-kk1jl]

not having a manual is a huge disappointment. don't like that lego has been trying that also but a huge part of the building experience is getting away from a screen. say no to digital manuals don't like them

[@RCKickschannel]

100% agree with you on this one.

[@josephslomka8161]

As a collector it a really big disappointment since each manual tells a new part of the rc10 story. I have many of them from early Edinger to the CC one. There was something nice about grabbing a sandwich and a few paper plates to start the build. I wish there was a second box to purchase with a blue label motor, a second battery cup, a mechanical speed controller and a manual with pictures of each and every championship winning rc10.

[@cogboy302]

You could always print a hard copy of the manual. I have the original manual for the Tamiya Frog I got in 1984, but it's been well thumbed through, and now being 40 years old is rather fragile, so I downloaded and printed another copy. Plus I have a NIB Frog re-re kit. Haven't got round to comparing the original & the re-re manuals to spot the differences.

[@stefberg-kk1jl]

@@cogboy302 no i don't have a printer anymore. Manual should come with it. i liked the tamiya manual where screws are 1to 1 in it so you can check if your taking the right one

[@JayWelchy]

Purists get ready. My kit showed up a couple weeks ago, and I am going to build it to replicate my original racer from 84-85. Yup. All the tweaks and mods that first year of hard racing I learned, going into my new classic. That's the RC10 I want. So many killer memories and races/events with that first one. To be fair, I was a highly competitive 12-13 year old, highly impressionable and followed every article, pic and piece of info I could find on Jay Halsey and his Dad, and his setup at the time.

[@roguetorino]

But will you swiss cheese the chassis?

[@JayWelchy]

@@roguetorino Nope. No way. Didn't do that back then either. I did cut sides down, and trimmed motor plate .. then went graphite back then. But not going to do that or any permanent mods to the Classic :)

[@MrSneakyGunz]

Got my second 40th today. Two Classics and the Clear, right now. I'll build one of the 40th classics and keep one each of the clear and classic nib/sealed.

[@tommy1504]

Just picked mine up at Willis Hobbies, not sure if I’m ready to cut the seals 🙈

[@RCKickschannel]

Do it

[@douglasfir1811]

Please tell me it's still made in the States.

[@Lonesome_Loser]

Nothing more over-rated than Made in the USA.

[@ToddSpringer444]

Thats one sharp banana!

[@RCJunky]

Thank you very much! Just finished building mine.

[@Pablo668]

Gotta admit, I’m very surprised at the lack of bearings. If I had one of those, I’d want to run it. Maybe that’s not the idea of it.

[@Zombles581]

Think they should give the manual and a QR code so you can download the manual to an iPad. Which is handy if you want to zoom in on sections

[@thedagenator2006]

Could you please do a video on how to replace mechanical controls with modern ones? Cheers!

[@Samuel-ej7bp]

Where can I get a dorito box cutter?

[@fordfsd]

A banana and a dorito? Lmao!!!😂

I'm pretty sure I didn't eat any funny mushrooms, but did you open the box with a banana and a corn chip. (crisp) ? lol

[@RCKickschannel]

;)

[@brendanmcg4358]

With people reporting serial numbers in the 6000's your serial number is actually in the lower end.

[@bleedinghandshughes]

lol, some weird stuff in this video, the banana and the echo

[@seanmiles681]

Hi I'd like to know can can you make a an RC car more powerful where it's not meant to be

[@philmoffett366]

Three stunning buggies shame you have to let the 40th Anniversary go😢

[@RCKickschannel]

I know but just can’t justify having it and a vintage one. Times are tough for the show so I have to prioritise funds for future content.

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

Gav were you hitting the Bong when you were editing the video?

[@RCKickschannel]

Editing can be hours of work so coming up with little silly things to drop me make it more interesting for me

[@ksavage681]

I'd want to run mine, not be a shelf queen. Bummed.

[@geordiegingerc3517]

People would twist on 21 these days. Who cares if the shade of the plastics isn't identical to the original? Plastic quality has probably changed drastically over the years, so colour grades have probably changed also

[@bharris0128]

banana

[@freddaniali]

Nce!

[@leehurst6922]

Also, who actually cares about the colours. If those of you out there don't like it don't buy it

[@MrGoat73]

Loads of potential buyers will care about the colours etc. Absolute attention to detail when you’re paying a lot of money for a recreation of a classic model is very important for a lot of people in this market.

[@leehurst6922]

Are they not selling any spares.for these? Seems a rip off to me, no manual etc. Hate when these manufacturers make limited amounts. Doesn't give those people who need to save up time to get them. Vintage market has become a market of greed when it should be for all of us

[@Nixxtrr]

Nope. Once you crash it, strait in the bin.

[@leehurst6922]

@@Nixxtrr flipping ridiculous

[@PatSC6Z06]

The idea would of course be knowing that it's a fairly rare car you would drive it as such and therefore not treat it like an "everyday" car, and so that's why spare parts may not be available for it! Pretty simple really.

[@kanenstuff]

Of course the white parts look too white now they are new. White plastic will yellow off over the years, maybe the Karens can dye them or just wait a few decades. Then they will be yellowed but not as much as the original because there not as old 🤔

[@shaunodriscoll]

Controversial comment coming! I ABSOLUTELY hate all the white plastic! Just looks cheap and nasty to me. Why they used it 40 years ago who knows 🤷‍♂️ but I don’t like it.
