The picture has a title of RC250 so that's probably what it is but there are very few differences between the RC250 and 300. The motor was .21 and the most common for this particular car was the K & B 3.5.
A few of the differences were that the RC250 would have bushings and the 300 bearings. The rear axle on the RC250 was solid non diff. That's pretty much it, all of the nice RC300 parts like the ball diff and dual disc brakes are direct fit.

Yes, you are correct, I have the same radio tray. The McCoy mufflers are rare as rare can be, I'd just like to find the McCoy can muffler that hangs off the back of the chassis but they're no where to be found also.
