- Should Team Associated Rerelease The RC10T? It seems like a logical choice. Until then, here is a quick overview and some action footage of the RC10T in action on the Port Royal Raceway!

I'd jump on the Re re release in a hot second! I just love how these look like actual trucks vs modern bodies with that goofy cab forward look. Yeah modern kits are competitive but the og stuff still kicks!
Totally agree with you. Again, fingers crossed that they rerelease this...
@@RCRetro they have said multiple times nope. Unfortunatly. Way to costly.
Hugh, Did Team Associated actually say “nope” ? Is there an article or interview to substantiate that they will not be putting out any future rereleases? All I read are rumors that are posted on Social Media which we really cant trust. Again, I”m not saying that they are... nor do i have any proof...or am associated in any way to team associated... All I’m stating is my opinion as to why logically they should and could.... until Team Associated officially comes out and issues a statement saying they are not going to do any more rereleases... all we can do is keep our fingers crossed, hope and dream that they will.
@@RCRetro ive heard ot from multiple emoyees im friends with. From customer service to marketimg. Plus alot of the molds they made for the rc10 classic and worlds. They got destroyed at the manufacture. So they would have ro be created again. Even heard from other retro loving i dustry leaders that work with associated. But never know in time. But multiple sources say no.
I hate the new style of body's their so ugly looking. I've been buying every vintage truck body I possibly can and saving them I think I'm up to about 10 and I'm on my way to pick up 2 rc10t complete trucks right now
Re: "they all came with ball bearings," this only applies to the team truck/later revisions. The RC10T also came in a sport truck variant (rc10ST) that came with bronze bushings, gold shocks, and the 3 piece wheels. ( It was analogous to the RC10CE)
The RC10GT came in this same trim all the way up until the release of the flat-pan RTRs.
AMain just added something new to their inventory. It’s a bearing kit by Fast Eddy racing, for the “RC10 T Classic”.
Thanks for that info. I'm going to check it out right now. Thanks for your comment and support.
Anyone else remember the RC10 conversion kit that predates this truck that used Blackfoot wheels?
Wasn't it something like the RC10DS conversion kit?
@@RCRetro It is similar. I believe it was made by JG.
I put Tamiya Lunch box wheels and Lunch box body with long travel shocks on my gold pan rc10 back in 91-92.
That combo of 2 vehicles was so much fun to drive, even brushed.
I have a later RC10T (non-white plastics) never run with the original unpainted body. Also have an unrun Cadillac and Edinger RC10s.
A ReRe RC10T would be awesome!
I missed out on getting a RC10 Classic but did get a Worlds ReRe when they were discounted through Stormer Hobbies before the prices skyrocketed.
Yup I got a Rere worlds car for 200.00 a few years ago. It's the only car out of eleven that is worth more now than when I bought it.
I'd be parting with my cash straight away if they were to re-release it.
Me too. I'd probably get two. Why? Just because lol...
its here now
Cool garden track you have there! I still have my RC10T2 that I bought almost 20 years back. It's still my fave RC car of all time, sounds childish I know, but what the heck, I'm 70 this year so MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I have an original....but i think i'd like to build another, cuz......brushless.....
Oh please! RC10ST was my 1st hobby grade RC. 540 motor, mechanical speed control, 1500mah Duratrax battery. I loved that truck 😍
Yeah that thing handles well for sure! I have a RC10T2 I couldn't not buy that is fully purple anodized, white turnbuckle ends. Only a shelf queen but looks so good! A re re runner would be nice :)
oh boy, this brings back memories.. I have an old RC10T in the garage ive owned since i was a teenager.. Mines mostly stock with CF frame stiffeners, CV joints, a Novak 610R and a 12turn REEDY attached to a stealth with a Team LOSI Hydradrive slipper.... i need to update it to brushless as the battery packs im using are the LiON battery packs from my DeWalt cordless drill using a wiring harness adapter.... I think the poor girl needs a refresh... clean all the bearings, re-oil them, clean up the transmission and redo all the ball joints and pins.. I hope they release new old stock parts! cuz that would be a great way to fix up the old girl without having to custom machine stuff on my own.. btw, your battery strap is 3rd party, because if i recall properly, it was a plastic box with a bar across it..
Agree come one its 30 years! Take my money.
Are the trucks as hard to find over there like the buggys are gavin?
I think we are all begging AE to take our money. The issue is Associated Electrics was bought by Thunder Tiger and so there is a lot of legal red tape to work through in getting their RC rereleased. They have the molds its just the legal aspect holding it up.
If they do a re-release I hope it comes with the skinny front tires. I think those lasted like a week before ROAR was like "Nope!".
Still one of the best rides I ever owned. I've never seen a more smoother riding vehicle than the 10T. Wish I still had mine.
I love stadium or short coarse trucks that actually resemble a 1:1 that looks like something I could build in a garage. Not really impressed with the rustlers and other releases from different companies. The one you have in front of you is something I would be interested in. It's really the only reason I haven't been interested in stadium trucks so far. Great video.
It was my first rc car and the reason i love stadium trucks.
It’s Team Losi who I’d love to see re-release their vintage cars my first race spec buggy was the original JRx2 I upgraded that with the Proformance kit I had a Pro-Se too unfortunately I sold them on for the next new thing at the time it just made sense at the time 🤦♂️
I hope they re release the RC10T! I’m buying one!
In the late eighties my brother and I were running our Tamiya Hornet and Kyosho Ultima and my cousin showed up with his brand new RC-10 buggy . Don’t know what he had in it but it blew our buggies away and we were running technigolds at the time which were pretty high end at the time . The RC-10 was the fastest rc I had ever seen . I couldn’t afford one then but I would love to have the opportunity to get a rere now truck or buggy .
I’ve had one since new, black chassis with grey shocks, both tire sets, still have the box 📦😀
This is exactly want I want re released the most and a jrx2 lol. The losi was my first hobby grade rc as a kid. I actually have a rc10t now but I would love to have all those parts re released amd a kit I can get and play with amd make mine a shelf queen
This is awesome, I actually still have the RC10GT gas version with a ton of upgrades and aluminum parts with a Thunder tiger .15 motor, still runs and a KO radio.
I use to race it and a Team Losi JRXT pro, along with a Losi pro se buggy.
Great video!
I've still got a tekin rebel, they were solid, still works too 👍
Mine will be in my truck as soon as santa visits my house
I have two Rebels but don't use either in my RC10 chassis. They just don't fit to my liking. They are so bulky that you have to mount them on the shock tower or on a tower mounted esc shelf.
Summer of ‘94 ( 14 y/o ). I think is when saved up and bought my mine which I traded say 2 years later 🤦♂️. I want a Clod nowadays to start over. Always thinking Associated 😝
I still have my original team truck that came with the narrow and wide front wheels and tires and the grey Teflon coated shocks, and I’ll never part with it. If they did a re-release I’d buy another for sure. Wish I would have kept my RC10, but had to sell it to fund the 10T at the time.
I really think that suits Harry's track perfectly. Can't wait for more race videos 😍.
Only 1 more race this season. But you will see this truck next season on the track
@@tallguygaming409 hows the weather over there? We are snowy here. Rewatching the other truck videos rn... that shot right there, very money👌! There are going to start teaching Harry-style in uni😂 "the peek-a-boo"🙃👍👏
Hahaha ive copyrighted my camera work. Its snowing here no bueno
There were sport bushing kits.
I purchased this truck back when new.. Had lots of fun. Just picked up the Trophy Rat, much the same.
One on EBay ending in 14hrs starting bid $199.00. Seams about right for a crazy year on car prices!
My very first rc car man I love that car and the rc10 gt best nitro truck great video brother
The team truck is what you have in your hand it has the gray hard anodized teflon-coated shocks. Universals and full bearings is what they came with for the team truck version.
I have 2 of the Diamond motors if you still interested
Yes! You can email me at akap23@gmail.com or if you are part of the RC Retro facebook group, you can message me on there.
Hey Ari,
I guess we know what you’ll be racing in the stadium truck class at the Vintage Nationals😉😁
U think id let him use any of my cars hahaha u must be drinking
Not sure what I’d run there. If it was Stadium Trucks, maybe my T3 if that is considered vintage by them and allowed. Not so sure how well I’d do. I’d be More like a moving obstacle on the track lol... Maybe Harry would run his RC10T?
I still have an all original RC10T. I took it apart many years ago to clean it, now it is just pieces in it's original box. I have been wanting to put it back together and put it out on the track again!
Send it to me ill build it 😉
@@tallguygaming409 I bet! Lol That is one of the best parts of our hobby, isn't it? The Ready-To-Run generation is really missing out!
Yes i love building and fixing i have no clue how people like to open a box with a built car in it.
If they rere'd the RC10T I'd be the first in line to get one. Their prices on eBay have skyrocketed over the last few years and now you can't touch a halfway decent roller for under $450. It's insane. And the DS? $750 or more for a parts car...
I really want one of these new or old honestly. I have the first edition of the Rustler and love stadium trucks
Nice video, crazy to think it's been 30 years since released,I remember when this first came out in wanted one do bad my buddies had one I had a jrx2 but ya this truck was dominate over the next, prolly mostly due to the 3 gear transmission. I still believe these in the right hand can hang with the last of the rest motor stadium trucks before they went mid motor. I loved the neon red chassis it was so sweet looking,
in 1990 i bought a new jrxt ... it was a bad boy on the track, until the rc10t came out and dominated racing in 92 ... i still have my original 10t i bought in 92 and its still fast
Love this! I have a fully restored mint jrx-t in box art. Original box and instructions and I bought a parts truck too. I also have a resto mod Outlaw Ultima. Love the og stadium trucks.
Nice! I need to get a jrx-t one day
Nice. We are adding a stadium truck class to our season 2 "Race Night" videos
@@tallguygaming409 Honesty Harry you might not be able to run it. The plastics are so brittle they literally break in your hands. Shock collars, arms and the stand offs for the 5 link are particularly bad. I have 3d printed stand offs. The shocks also leak badly so you'll need new seals too. The battery holder won't fit a lipo but there are some 3d printed options for a shorty pack. And of course they are expensive im into mine now for around 750
Another thing I learned when resorting my JrxT is that Gil losi copied quite a few dimensions from the mark 1 Ultima. In fact the front shock tower and arms and bulkhead are almost interchangeable
Fragile and i dont go together cause i have to run everything
I have been restoring an RC-10T and I have found its hard finding one with a chassis that's not bent. But besides that there seems to be enough parts available.
I've got at least two original aluminum tub chassis that were only raced indoors on carpet.
There might be more... my fam ran a hobby shop in that era.
In 1987 we were taking the rc10 and turning them into those before anyone ever thought about making them
It's my understanding that all of the parts can be found for the 10t, except the front nose plate.
I been racing my dads 10T against the modern ones! Its still going strong with a brushed motor.
Nice kick the new kits asses!!
These trucks were awesome and so popular , I Just made a run video of my associated RC10GT they should re release the GT also!
When I used to race Team Associated RC10 and the RC10t I used to use Trinity motors. I use the pink can motor for my RC10 and the green can for my RC10t truck. Thoughts?
Trinity made some pretty cool brushed motors back in the day. Although I’m not too familiar with the pink and green motor. I had a trinity monster horse power motor. Thats about it for me. Thanks for the comment.
I've got 3 in great condition.
Is that an offer that you'd be willing to part with one and how great of condition? I'm interested. Please let me know. Thanks and thanks for the comment and support of the channel.
The 6.1(.2)T is far superior though right? $340 you can get a new kit.
Prob but we dont race anything new. All trucks have to be rear motor only. I had a rb6.6 kyosho buggy and never used it all year long cause we dont race modern stuff so it sat on a shelf till i sold it.
We enjoy the new stuff (modern RC) but the channels focus is vintage "retro". But yes you could get that for that price and if AE were to rerelease the RC10T it would probably cost just as much.
I still have my RC10T in pretty good condition. Had to replace the shocks and turnbuckles due to flood damage.
Glad you were able to salvage it and fix it up.
So im pretty sure that should have gold shocks, all white parts, and three piece rims on all 4 corners. And pretty sure they offered a bushing only kit too. Usually didnt get bearings until it was a team kit or higher. Usually "basic" and "sport" models did not. Im also trying to remember all this from prevuous ownership that long ago. Great info though.
Thanks for the comment. Yes the front and rear arms should be white. These are black because they are RPM arms for the RC10t. Later "T's' had black arms as team associated began to produce their nylon parts in black. Original wheels are 3 piece but I think at some point Associated began to make 1 piece wheels. You are right about the bearings. There were different level kits. Off the top of my head right now I can't remember which ones came with the gray teflon coated shocks and which ones came with the gold.
@@RCRetro im almost positive also gray teflon shocks didnt come out until the "3" series, t3,b3. Almost certain all b2's and t2's also still ran gold shocks. I love me my associateds. I still own my original rc10 a stamp, my original gt, and t3, and b4 and t4, and L4 oval. And as soon as i can get my hands on a dr kit, when theyre back in stock, ones getting added to my stable. I own other stuff too, including two 1/4 scales, a couple laid out t maxxes, an original first copy in the box unassembled midnight pumpkin, and a hyperdrive oval carpet car. Im 43, so i got to play with and build alot of original kits for buddies and myself. Monster beetle, blackfoot, the hornet, the frog, tamiya tt01 f150, and couple others. So i love your vintage approach, and memory lane recollections.
@@dondagy9109
Again thank you for the comments and glad that you enjoy the channel.. As for the shocks, Excuse my choice of words. I was incorrect when I said "Teflon" ... The "T" Shocks were Gray in color, hard anodized shocks. The "T" came with those. And yes, was also offered with gold shocks in one of their kits. The website below is a great resources that I refer to often for RC10 history. Plus I got a "T" on its way to the channel that I recently acquired. I'm really looking forward to getting it up and running.

The RC10T, using the same basic platform as it's RC10 counter part, was released in three kit forms. Starting with the #7001 (Truck), #7035 (Team Truck), and the #7011 (Sport truck), all of which went through rolling changes, and part revisions along the way, and will be covered later on. All RC10T's were released with a black chassis (either "B", or "C" stamp), Rear 1.32, and front 1.02 shocks (Hard anodized...7001, 7035, or Gold bodied, all 7011's) with gold springs, and all had the stealth transmission. All 10T's were built at the Cadillac address, in the USA.
@@RCRetro awesome info. I look forward to you covering this more.
I hope they come out with a truck release. Red thread lock can only do so much on my original truck.
I have the speed gem rub 16t triple in my wltoys buggy now but it was in my t3, first motor i bought to replace stock
Nice im still lookn for that diamond one
I have a Novak rc10t championship edition...came from California. I've kept it original but the motor burnt up so I stuck a brushless in it for now but I have the motor...just getting into rc. Found this gem in PERFECT CONDITION for 25$
25$ is a steal. Great find!
Im about to start a restomod on an original that my cousin gave me this summer. I need some kind of wheel option though. What wheels are on this truck? Great video as always.
Think they are t2 wheels
I'd buy one !
I just recently built another 10T. Started with a rough and incomplete Ebay roller. After replacing or repairing the necessary parts, I suspect that I have about $200 in a nice roller.
Think i got this for 200 with brushless stuff in it that will be coming out.
I just got a RC10T3 TEAM KIT for $100 with original box, manual, parts list, and a few extra parts on offer up. Needs work tho haha motor is toast, esc sounds funky, and servo arm broke testing it haha
Awesome… enjoy the T3 as its an awesome truck. $100 is way worth it…I guess I have to go on offer up and find some good deals now lol
I also swore they made that car in world edition too.
Im ready to buy any rere associated drops! Come on alreadyyyy
Me too... Hopefully, but I guess we will have to wait and see.
I have the rc10 t2 today. it's in good condition.
I have a 91 gold pan and a Team truck. I don't want to hurt them, but I want to race them again so bad.
Traxxas had the first stadium truck with the hawk ( summer of 1989 ).
Hey! I have this exact motor. The diamond version you displayed. I would be willing to part with it. What are you offering? Tested it a week ago after it not running for twenty years and it runs (fast too like I remember) but you can tell it needs to be cleaned out badly to run smoothly.
Hey thanks for the offer. But not in the market for this motor anymore. But I’m sure you could post it up on any RC Facebook group if your willing to sell. I’m not sure what one of those motors cost used. Again thanks for the comment and offer though.
I still have my rc10t and Ultima like your poster 😂
I still have mines plus T2 T3 and T4 the 10T and T2 are stock T3 T4 are brushless
Nice i have a t3 as well as that 10t
I had the Losi LXT it was fucking baddass lol
I am glad I kept mine
Traxxas blue eagle came out around that time too.
I was racing a Losi when the 10T conversion was first released, and I built my first 10T out of a team gold rc10.
I still raced the Losi for a year until the new upgrades for the 10T came out. During that time, Traxxas was available at Toys r Us, and Fred Meyers.
I still have the 10T in it's race form, and the Losi is still on the shelf looking kinda sad.
I also have the Bolink and the Schumacher I was racing Ovals and buggies with. I still think the Schumacher was better than the RC10. Hah, let's bring up that 35 year old debate.
Good stuff, have fun.
Most the molds they made new for the retros, have been damaged or desteoyed at the manufacture. The re release rc10 they took a new build rc10 off the shelf of their customer reps desk to remake the molds since originals were gone.
How do you know this ? No re release yet?
Not arealy RC10 T, doesn't have the 3 piece hubs.
Feel free to contradict me M R.
Thanks for you comment. Sorry, I'm looking at your comment. Are you saying that the original RC10T didn't have a 3 piece wheel or it did have a 3 piece wheel?
I wish they would release all their old kits.
Agreed
Don't see them re-releasing the RC10T, but it IS the definitive stadium truck.
I hope not i just bought this haha
@@tallguygaming409 luckily the aftermarket is growing for this
I have one all factory with the original box! How much is worth these days? Thanks for any information you can provide.
It is worth a lot. I have seen original RC10T's restored in clean condition with some scratches on the chassis that run for a couple hundred bucks. I've seen almost mint ones, assembled go for 500 and up to 800/900 on ebay. The main thing to remember is... its really hard to put a solid value on these... its subjective... I've seen some post OG NIB RC10 buggy gold pans online for $2,000. Given the fact that you have a RC10T NIB, I would think it would command top dollar. Not sure if someone would pay $2,000 but hey you never know. If someone really wants it bad enough they will pay that amount. I've been offered a NIB RC10T kit but the chassis was roughed up from sliding around in the box. The seller was willing to give me another black chassis from his team car but I ended up passing . I believe the offer was for $1100. I decided to take my RC10T chassis and get it refurbished. Going to get the paint stripped and repainted by a guy who specializes in RC10's. I'd say minimum of $1000 for your NIB.
I picked up a rc bundle on marketplace in the CO, Rockies. Included a shelf queen mint unused, 7055 rc10gt black tub chassis, made in America 🇺🇸 version. Assembled with a new cv.12 (cool red V-shaped head), futaba magnum jr, painted to match box art truck body, extra body, tons of new 90's rc extras, all boxes, paperworks, advertising, believe it's early mid 90's. Purchased from las Vegas shop in 95. Didnt want it in particular but I knew it was a steal.
Also included a notable traxxas stampede. Original early original 90's rare trx pro .12 duel exhaust and the original massive traxxas "model 2000" radio system.
@@Dat_Sun awesome.. they look cool but I never got into the nitro rc's.. I guess there is always a first for everything though.... nice find!
@@RCRetro I wasn't interested in nitro back then either. Glow fuel was expensive and hard to get back then. But the gt can be converted to mid motor electric in just minutes. One motor mount is all you need aside from the electronics.
Pretty much anything rc from this time is cool in my eyes. I will probably convert it to electric and run it around on carpet.
I have a rc10t2, has controller esc. I've upgraded the controller and esc, I wanted to run a lipo battery in it. What is it worth?
My stepdad had this truck in 1989 before it came out
AE is pretty dumb for not continuing the RC10 releases. Tamiya is still selling the Grasshopper after all these years. If the RC10 was still being released the vintage scene would be bigger because parts would actually be available and cheaper.
AE was bought out by Thunder Tiger a Korean brand i believe. AE has all their old molds to produce, but thats not the issue. Its the "legal red tape" as they are trying to work that out with the new owners.
Agreed, they seem to instead be actively trying to keep people from using their older cars anymore. I have 3 broken RC10s I have given up on fixing, and even the T4 is hard to find parts for anymore.
Have my all original 10t except rear tires just started building a new T6.2
awesome. after shooting this video, I really want my own RC10T. In due time I guess. You planning on running the T6.2 at a track or just for fun?
@@RCRetro probably alittle of both the new 6.2 is so much more complex than the ok original I will have to see if people are having fun racing or taking it way to seriously LoL to
You mentioned in the video all the kits came with bearings my three piece wheels came with bushings converted to bearings after the build
Running circles around doms xxx
Looks like it's finally happening in 2024
I own Team Associated's RC10T used as advertisement for hobby shows/events..,
How did you get your Hands on something like that? I'm sure there is an interesting story behind it.
@@RCRetro I made friends with a Writer in the RC community named Erich. Erich works with Team Associated and was gifted the RC10T, Cliff Lett autographed the RC10T body for Erich years ago. Wish I had more of a story. I show people my vintage rc collection and they become more comfortable with me owing rare cars from the early days of RC. Also made friends with Masami's father Masaaki. Masaaki gave me the opportunity to own Masami's winning B3 from the all Japan race in 1998.
They are!!!
My gradpa has 10 rc10 and 1 rc t 5,000 esc and moters new
Your grandpa is awesome
@@tallguygaming409 I think he may have one I have to look lol gana take hours
Where do you get your info on team associated? You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s sad, but when thunder tiger bought out AE, they didn’t secure the molds. So since 2015 all molds are gone.
All you have to do is call them in Lake Forest and ask. Also, look to the vintage resale market for pricing. The 10t will never come back. Nor will any associated vintage vehicle or part ever again.
Never say never 🤷🏻♂️
I had the rc10gt couple years ago. My nephew gave it to me but I never did anything with it. Just hated messing with nitro
Damn second in comments 😭😭😭
To slow...I expect better next time
I have thr t3, funnest and still fastest offroad rc ive owned
I also have one and love it
@@tallguygaming409 theyre ferocious on brushless
I only run on bruahed 🤷🏻♂️
2:20 lol what? so wrong.
Meh..that's a niche thing..who's the customer? Oldies..lol Not the current gen..Associated running into the direction of HPI..why wouldn't they just redesign it, make it of the year, new tech? You wouldn't buy this to race, just to bash
not for a afffordable price....
Great vid. Funny to watch stuff like this. At best you should have done better homework and not listen to what people tell you. Keep up the great work!
