When comparing a re-released Team Associated RC10T to an original, several differences are notable. The re-releases are often considered collectibles rather than runners, lacking spare part support and featuring bushings in the drivetrain. The original models were known for their race-winning design and U.S. manufacturing, contributing to their iconic status. Re-releases may have slight variations in the white plastic color and the gold anodizing, and modifications to accommodate modern components like LiPo batteries. Despite these differences, the re-releases are generally faithful reproductions of the originals.
