RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Thank you Chuck, Justin and sandkil. Actually, since the paint and graphics were Cliff Lett's, you might be right about AE using it for box art. Cliff's buggies are some of my personal favorites. It's a shame AE never produce this car (although I can understand why they didn't). However, you'll find...

I tend to agree; there's way too much detail for it to have been vacuum formed. Definitely looks like it came from a mold.

There's just something about gold anno and white nylon that brings back happy memories for me. :D I also have the Factory Works steering upgrade on my runners and they're totally bullet proof. Although mine were made so...

Sweet!

Hello AC and welcome to the forums.

Looks great!
Godspeed Nomad.

Your RC10 is coming together very nice. Wow, it looks like a new car.

Snagged a MRC Q-Tee Coupe, most of it - or Academy Wyvern :) take your pick on what to call it. Of course, I will violate it in unmentionable ways, cross breeding it with other manufactuers...LMAO, then give it a run or two. I've never heard of this model before but it looks interesting. It appears...
