What A Dilemma, I Can Only Keep One! Unboxing An Early RC10 Gold Pan & Comparing It To My 2013 RERE. 

Man.. Those bearings on the rere is really good. Look at that front wheel spin and spin.

Sell the Wife, Sell the Kids, Sell a Kidney or Two, keep both of the cars.

My 1st "real" RC was a Gold Pan in the late 80's...Had I known, I'd still have it.

Oh no, you’ve caught the RC10 fever😂

When I was a kid I had a JRX Pro and my friend had the gold pan RC 10. I loved his buggy so much. We would go to our local track it was 15 min down the road and spend all Saturday and a Sunday racing for only 5 bucks a day. What good times I still have my JRX pro but I’d love to get a RC10.

Can’t believe how much the re-releases have gone up in value since 2013! I bought both the RC10 and the RC10 Worlds for under $400 just 6 years ago!

A stamped RC10 now they are really cool and pretty rare in the uk. If it was my dilemma I would restore the original car as a shelf queen. The RERE would become a runner for more running content. To fund it all do a quick restore vid on your standard Optima mid and move that car on. Optima mids are way more common in the Uk . if you are lucky in the next few years Kyosho will release a RERE Mid so you can get a mint replacement.

Raffle the re release to members?

Great to see that it survived the journey! I DID think that it was something strange about the body - couldn't understand how that could become THAT *points at boxart* I guess one of the allready painted ones are the orginal body :)

Keep them both Gav!!! run the re-re because they are absolutely amazing cars to drive and shelf the vintage because you know it's only going up in value. Explain to the misses its better than money in the bank and your home and dry.............

AWESOME !!!! I own a re-release and if that was me in your position I would definitely most DEFINITLEY KEEP THE A STAMP no doubt about it Gavin. Wow that is Cool.

In my opinion it goes without saying that you should keep the A Stamp Original. The Re-Release was predominately manufactured in China so doesn't represent the historical value and collectability of this model. It's not really a legitimate RC10. I may be mistaken, but I'm not sure that the Re-release tyres will fit on the original wheels, so swapping them over might not be possible. I think the Re-Re tyres and wheels are a different size. You've got a really nice example there. Great purchase.

My friend your got the same time problem I do always buy just before the right time. Its a curse that is not good for RC of any type but u on the other hand can fix it with extra money to pony up and get rid of the bad deal me I always am stuck with crap deal. KEEP A STAMP

Well, if it was me, I always run my cars at least a few times, and many peeps would say never run a true vintage one. So I would sell the A chassis car. Even so, it's still up to you matey. Hmm, actually I've never bothered to check what version my one is. Bought it in about 2005 from a US model shop on Ebay

The original is the way I'd go over the rerelease.. I just got an A stamped Edinger and look forward to starting the restoration

I bought an RC10 re-release 5-6 years ago. $270 at the local hobby shop. I never opened it and sold it for a $500 profit a year or two ago on ebay. I was stupid, at the time I bought it I was making really good money, had money to burn and I figured these re-release kits would always be available so my plan was to build it and run the shit out of it. But I didn't, had many other projects going. Then I needed some cash to finish a couple other projects so I sold it. I should have bought 6 of them at $270 each then built one as a runner, one as a shelf queen and sold the rest at a $500 profit each. Ugh....

I personally think that an original is always better but if an original isn’t viable then a re-re is second best. Great find by the way 👍👌

Sell the re-re after using parts from it to make the A stamp as good as possible

I'd keep both, be a bit broke for a while. It really depends on what you want to do and what's important to you. Myself, I'd keep whatever I could run from time to time guilt free. I'd also be inclined to go esc as opposed to the msc. Probably the re-re I guess. Having said all that, I have a 2time world championship edition here that I'm going to do up as a runner.

That's a real tough call, think I would keep the original.

Super Car Grüße aus germany.

One of them does not have to go, to me both are keepers. If you have any other doubles of lesser buggies, sell them. 👍🏻😎

An RC10. Re-release contest sounds go. 🙏

Keep both and sell me that F1 on the wall :)

As to which one to keep....shelf queen...keep and restore the vintage one. If you're building a runner then might as well keep the re-release. But seriously keep both. Make the re-release a runner and restore the original to it's new glory. On ebay right now there is an original 6016 new in box for $2300.

If I were racing in Historics, I'd keep the rere, But As a shelf queen, the Original is a better bet.

Keep both Gavin!!!. Ok back to the real world.. If you can only keep one I think maybe the “A” frame. Let’s be honest you might struggle to get another one... Is it the case you could revisit a Re Re another time????)

The A-stamp is in rough shape, I would keep the re-release. Also, that is not an original sticker sheet.

no brainer for me.. definitely Keep the original and restore it. also that looks like a viper body. Cheers Rob

I reckon most people would say keep the original, so that mite be the one to sell!

This channel needs some Yokomo's

Very tough decision but i think that i personally would keep the original and swap the parts that it needs. As problems go this is a good one to have.

It's a no brainer to me. Got to be the A stamp.

I would keep both, but if you have to choose I would keep the original. It’s not an easy choice for sure but I’m sure you can find a good home for either of them .

I'll buy one off of ya! (seriously) I've been looking forever as well, but not sure what is a good deal or not, the prices are all over.

If it was me, I think I’d look to keep the newer better condition re release, and sell the old Original. Maybe I’d be loosing out value wise, on a mint original. Thing is though..I can’t bare to pay so much for used and badly scratched items. That’s my opinion on re re vs originals in general. I’d only pay over the odds for an original if it was either NIB.. or built well and unused, also.. providing there wasn’t a cheaper re-release version available. The way I see it is: It’s Still made by Associated, still the same car but in perfect condition and probably now with a few improvements in the design. Just my opinion of course.

That's a tuff one🤔 I got the re re but with period electrics in it reedy/tekin and futaba radio just to give it that vintage taste. I was the same as you looking for one but couldn't get one over here in the U.K and they were ridiculous money so when they re re'd it I jumped on it..Your dilemma is tuff, do you go for the mint one or a rare original?? I personally would stick with the re re as they seem to have gone up in price and are becoming just as rare..

Awesome cars, I feel your dilemma. If it was me I'd shelf the original.

I have an NIB Edinger that I purchased in Japan more than 30 years ago. It even has a stamp on one side of the box of Yokomo as the distributor. Not sure what to do with it. Building it is NOT what I will do, I know that much. Since I am more of a vintage onroad guy I wish I had something like AYK RX-2000, Tamiya Black Countach CS, Tamiya Can-Am Lola and so on instead.

I have both as well. I wanted to swap out parts between the two, but as you observed the gold parts are different. So, I was not able to. The re-release is very valuable but only if it is unbuilt. The older "A" stamp is just starting to go up in value if the condition is good. I suspect, that in the future the "A" stamp will go up a lot in value. I also think that Team Associated might re-release the RC10 again. I mean, why not? I believe that Team Associated is owed by Thunder Tiger, I can not see any reason why they would not re-release it again. Since you have stated that you are not working now and are just doing your RU-vid channel, I would sell the re-release RC10. If you do, you should paint the body in box art, paint the driver and install the window netting too. The idea is that you can get your money back on the re-release RC10 and also get paid for your awesome painting skills too. I have already sold one re-release RC10 already. It sold easy and I was able to double my money too. Once the pandemic is looking better, I plan on selling my last re-release RC10.

I would keep the a stamped one

Keep the original assuming on further inspection, tyres aside, it looks potentially runnable.

Love it, send it to the US to me ill take good care of her for ya.😉

Keep them both, Sell one of the Falcons or something else? Trust me the RC-10 bug is catchy I got 7 different versions of just the B1's..lol

I paid $400 for my muckraker No Lie I feel you on that one it was my Walmart bonus anyways now you have the cure for Corona the Pepsi body wow now you brought one of those cars to the UK and they're worth a lot more over there smart how you going to ask which one when you have one that's in maculan shape and the other one is a r e relief come on just keep it so that way you'll have parts are you can have a runner I think a runner is better cuz then you just don't have to stare at it wondering what day are you going to run it what is special enough for you to run it. thats your racer for your race track that you want to make one day that would be a cool racer to race against your friends because they know about it and what you had to go through just to keep it and how long you had it people see it on display so just keep it and run it put some gold scratches all over it at least you'll scratch gold you can sell the shavings just kidding I love those things ain't really gold anyways anything you touch turns to gold you approached everything in the right way I would say ps u need a vintage racing car for the track if I ever get a chance to go to the UK I'm going to send my first Radio Shack over there to race it and a couple of other cars to race against you and that would be awesome I'll drink the Pepsi's you can have the Coors

Keep the car you’ve unboxed in this video, it deserves a good home :)

A chassis for the win :)

Hi gavin i keep the A stamp as yoy said its a early buggy.What a dilemma you got mate.

The rear shock towers and shocks aren't the same?

I shall humbly offer myself to accept the responsibility of providing a new home for either of those cars...it's a sacrifice I'd be willing to take.

I would def keep the A stamp, use the best parts to make it the best it can be. Then sell the rest

You have to keep both. No doubt. Below guy is right sell a falcon.

The original is good enough to look great on the shelf, it's more collectable, the logo is crisper on the front, it's in a condition were you won't feel guilty about the odd run and the motor is correct. I'd keep that and move on the rere.

Definitely keep the original!

Hey dude i recently have been looking at getting an rc car and i cant find one but i finally found one its called ftx vantage brushless on modelsport but its £199 and i was wondering if it is worth the money and its any good. If not do you have any suggestions on better rcs that i can get my hands on in the uk ?? My budget is £0-200

I would also keep the original A stamped buggy.

Keep the "A" Stamp. The re-re is not as special. BTW the different unpainted bodies look to be the later Protech Bodies. The silver body is the original body for that chassis. Next thing I see happening is you will dip into the Losi JRX-2 (still reasonably priced) series and then the Yokomo's (stupid money). It will never end! Enjoy!

I’m 90% sure you will take best of no both and keep rarer one and sell on the other.

Keep the original of course! No doubt

Keep both of them you know you can afford it.👍

I would Swap tyres and keep the old !!

I have a few RC10's and the Re-Re's are harder to find. A stamp RC10's are not that rare, there is always lots for sale in the U.S and you could find a nicer one at a later date if you so wish. I would sell the original out of the two and if you find a mint replacement original, then sell the re-re.

keep the re-release because only 150 were ever made and the body on the A stamp goes to the championship edition

Personally I would keep the rere. If you ever want to run it you know the plastics won’t be as brittle and I’m sure the A stamps probably worth more ?

I'd keep the A stamp. I have the same one😁

For sure keep the original sell the re re, just before you do go through the car thoroughly to make sure all is good.

Congrats. I think with the times we are in, and the shortage of money all the experts foresee, I think it'll be more wise to get rid of the A stamped car as it came to you, while the interest is high and there's money to spend. As the months go by, there be no many buyers. That'd not a Mona Lisa (even museums are selling their masterpieces to get some cash) and you are not an AE guy as far as anyone can tell... Cheers!

I would personally keep the rerelease.

Keep original & repair what needs doing to it 👍🏼

I say the original and swap the tired with the re-release

I wanted a re re but cant find 1

IMO I’d keep the rere and sell the a stamp. Get a better a stamp later on when you find one.

Where is the cheapest place to buy a rc bundle as I want to buy a tamiya rc buggy with all the servos battery’s etc?

Keep the original one!!

keep the original and keep the new wheels and tyres on the rere

Gotta keep the original and sell me the rere.

Restore the a stsmp and shelf it and run the rere

The original is the one to keep.

Give all the best part to original and sell the re re

keep the A stamp!

Keep the A stamp

This shouldn't even be a question...sell the rere!

Keep both...😂😂😂

keep the original...that is what i would do...

Oiii,.. modern problems to have.

Of course keep the original and sell the rere...

Keep the old one

I'll give you 20 bucks for either of them or both.

Definitely sell something else or the rere if u must! Don't sell an a stamp, that is something special! Sell your real car, stay home, make more videos!

gav keep the original that other person went through a lot to get it for you .

+1 vote for selling re-re.
