Boy that brings back memories! I started out with a Fast Attack, then bought my buddies Grasshopper. Had Hornet somewhere along the way and ended up getting the RC-10!! Great memories!

 
my neighbor was cleaning out their basement and came to me with a sealed box brand new super champ i gave it to my nephew he had a blast building it brought back so many memory's 

 
The Associated website shows that it is now discontinued. 

 
When one paddle tire for my car is now $1250 or a barrel of fuel is $700

I think i am going to buy the 40th RC-10 and keep it on the shelf next to my Mint 400 collection,  

Pretty cheap price to remember some of the most innocent time of my life.  
I still have the Mint 400 Monopoly board game!

 
Associated?  Nope.  TLR 4 lyfe!



I was a Losi kid too.  I had a few cheap Tamiyas and stuff like that 'til I saved up for a XXT.  Then I'd take it all apart every few months and change... everything.  Everything I could change for CF, got changed.  Everything I could change for Ti, got changed.  I had multiple shock setups so I could swap 'em in and out for a low street setup vs. dirt.  I would mess endlessly with the valving (had the cool floating pistons to make different rates for compression vs. rebound), fluid viscosity etc. (in the slipper too)... 

...I guess my issues started early.  I ended up trading it years later for the first exhaust for my '99 Z/28.
