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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
