the rpm parts on the spare chassis are not "originals" to that chassis. they're not all that rare, either. used stuff anyway.

Either way the worlds car is a nice one to have, but there were a few evolutions of the car through the production run from late 93' to early 95'- Basicly the box indicates that your car was an earlier release, which typically would have all white parts except the front and rear arms, possibly the rear hub carriers in black though. Anyway it's a cool car that you seem jazzed to have, congrats!

It is an early Worlds, you can tell by the box-parts have been either dyed or replaced :wink:
You whore :wink:
