I did get my Champion car put back together, and ran it around some. Got me fired up enough to buy a RB10. Man, thing is super fast with a 3s battery! I have a shop with multiple types of tracks that I plan on running the RB at. Things are cool, and make me feel like i'm in Jr High again. Bonus Points, my daughter loves them as well! |

I've still got their first stadium truck under a bed in the house. When I was 14 or so, a couple of my buddies had the aluminum chassis car. I was rocking an old Kyosho Triumph. When it was new, it was very quiet due to the belt drive. They all had to ooh and ahh over it; I was pretty pleased with myself. |

Would have rather had the CE or the graphite car, but I have to admit that this thing ended up with one of the best diffs I've built, and that's saying something. It's great to blast around with a 17.5.Attached File |

I just purchased the Kinwald worlds car today. I missed out when AE re-released the world’s car. I think I even still have the Losi hydra-drive to put on it for the perfect clone. Kinwald RC-10 |

I think I even still have the Losi hydra-drive to put on it for the perfect clone. Kinwald RC-10 I actually got the World's Car when they came out, assembled the chassis and then sat on it...until a few days ago when I finally bought electronics for it  Upside, is it's awesome Downside...it uses RC10B4 front wheels, #9588/9688 depending on if green or white - bearing wheels. Good luck finding spares...  It also came with tires that are probably great for packed clay tracks, but are ass in grass or dirt Shit I didn't think about or realize until I finally got it wired up and outside after probably a decade of sitting on it. The only reason I know it's been at least a decade is I found a receipt for some extra parts in the box...dated 2014...honestly if I hadn't seen that, I would have guessed it's only been kicking around in the back room for a couple of years, not 10

No real upgrades except a 10/1 speed controller. Probably will get a Grasshopper II and Rising Fighter before they're gone, though. |

This release is expensive, yet like you said, we now have the means. Worth it to me as it will be a nice kit to display with all the old Team Novak electronics installed. |

I think it’s the Cliff Lett RC10T and it comes with a red powder coated chassis. Pretty bad ass. I should have ordered that yet went with a second Kinwald kit. ETA: my RC10 Brian Kinwald kit just arrived. The box is perfect, no dents. I want to open it up yet will wait for the second to arrive. |
