I know, Dumb question The only reason I ask is because of the fact I've never seen worlds chassis in person. And all this one says on the package is: " #6302 Chassis Tub, Aluminum Hard Anodized Milled"
yes, if you only paid the price on the header card you did very well my friend. you could probably triple or quadruple your money on it. keep the bag and header card even though they are beat up, it's worth more in the bag if you go to sell it.
Thanks. Yeah the bag is all thrashed. the chassis is in great condition except for what looks like a defect in the anodizing at the rear on the bottom. and a small,small,small chip out of the front (looks like the bag was dropped) I actually paid less than header price. To be honest I have no intentions of building a worlds chassis, they seam to be well sought after by collectors. If I keep it I know Ill run it It might sit on my shelf for a month or two but I'll lose all self control and run it, Thats just how I am. I'm going to have to think this one out. It might be in the best interest of the chassis if I just let it go...
sell it for around $150-200 and buy yourself a more complete car. used worlds cars with the same chassis just in runner condition typically sell for $200

you really think it will go for that much? wow. I think I just might have to sell it. I know I'll destroy it if I keep it.

According to AE no, and the milled tub was (as the header card shows)
an option part, and included apparently with some DS's, 10t's for sure etc... But some of the figures I see here regarding the value of this part are really really high. Brandon sold a really nice worlds on the bay for less than people are saying this chassis is worth, ONE nip chassis like this sold for big money--but that was one, not the past 10, and I know of someone who just scored a new out of pkg nose and milled chassis for peanuts, and I do mean peanuts from the bay the only way to know is to put her up f/s--or decide what it's worth to the seller and hope he finds a buyer.
since the worlds kit was only out for 1 - 1.5 years, i think it would be pretty rare. i think most people at the time were waiting for the new kit (b2) so i dont think these sold too well. i didnt bother with one at the time.. didnt think it was worth all the extra money to upgrade a team car that essentially had the same parts except a lighter chassis and "graphite" shock towers.
We've all seen this before another perfectly nice worlds tub gone....brown 1 a1 worlds4 resto 001.jpg firstly I know what you're thinking, Reggie might need help :| But there was a reason for me to get this one :!: I spent about 15 hours talking to...
I have finally found a guy that is able to mill my chassis to look like the worlds chassis. Only thing is that he has never done one so he does not know the exact dimensions and I have never even seen one to know them. Does anyone have template that...

there is also a thread somewhere about the dimensions on this. the depth of the cut was in there as the thickness of an AE flatwasher IIRC. Try the search in the Vintage RC10 Section for it and might be able to have time to check out some of the...
I've never seen one in person and I guess I haven't seen it (or more probably never paid attention) on the pics of other world's chassis, but is this narrowing of the rear end, stock or a later modification? And what is the reasoning behind it? I...
OK ... I have two RC10 Worlds Cars. One is a restored all black car, and one is an in progress white and black car. This brings me to a few questions:
1) What was the point of the milled sections in the chassis?
2) Was the Worlds chassis really...

Well. I can tell you why the chassis were milled. One -was weight. Two -was to provide a channel under the batteries for the speedo wire. Three -was to provide a channel for dirt that collected in the car to find its way out via the holes. This was...
