    Thanks. I’ve got some RC4WD 1/18 scale shocks I ordered for the B1 of these, but they’ll be too short it seems for this C14. Hmmm.

    Too much.
    I used to restore RC10 gold pans. Now I have an ARRMA typhon and just bash the shit out of it.

    I figured all those gold chassis had been chopped, milled or otherwise violated six ways from Sunday back when the Turbo Ultima was all the rage...or when my JR-X2 with 5 link hit the racetrack.

    I bought a reissue gold pan kit a couple of years ago. As a kid it was always out reach, so I picked one up because now I can...and it’s fun to act like a kid with money.

    I would be inclined to use it for ripping around the house. I am curious about the steering design.

    Yea it's a pretty different design and it's nice how functional the suspension front and rear. But the price seems high to me for what it can do.

    Ever so often a new in the box original gold pan will show up on EBay. They command huge prices.
    Tons of them have been mutilated though. I wanted a gold pan but the shop owner steered me to the just released Ultima. By the time I’d finished getting it like I wanted the only thing that was factory was the transmission housing.

    I'm with you! Best I recall the last RC10 kit that still had the cellophane on the box brought over $2,000.00. Some opened but never assembled ones were around $1,500.00.

    I know the feeling. I had a factory sealed original RC10 in my sights, hovering on the “buy it now button” several years back. It was “only” $750.00 bucks. I backed out, knowing my dumbass would open and build it.
