Most parts are discontinued, check Tower for what is available.
The black pan is a Team Car and the front of it hit something pretty hard from the looks of the bent nose tubes :!:

Parts are getting harder and harder to find as the years pass. Tower and local hobby shops may have some old stock of a few parts, if not, eBay is your friend!

Thanks for this rc10 bible. I wondered what arms i have, and now i know. Any more background story on the white Worlds car style arms (with the webbing)? You mentioned they're rare.

the reason they'd be considered rare is because they were only made for a short period of time in white before ae started molding parts in black.

regarding the Stealth Team Car, I had the older graphite chassis (this one http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii76/slotcarrod/DSC08164.jpg)


and the older rear spiked tires too.

was certainly the stealth team car though, had the sticker, team shocks and stealth transmission.

just how many versions were there?

Edit-

same box, didnt have black arms either. only differences that I can see is the chassis was the older rounded style, the earlier spiked rear tires, non-black arms

You are a 100% correct! I don't have a Graphite Team Car to take pictures of. The post to date shows only the late version. The early version is very much the same as the original Graphite RC10 but has the Stealth tranny and the team shocks, different wheels and tires, same as the tub team car. As far as I know, there were only the two versions. Reg seems to think there was a box art production, but no proof has come to light!

If any one has a mint early Graphite Team Car that they could take some pictures of, I would love to use them in this thread!

No, that's the Graphite RC10. I need the early Graphite Team Car. Looks very much the same but has a Stealth tranny and green Team shocks and different tires.

HI!... So the only difference between a RC10 "Graphite" and a RC10 "Team Graphite" is the shocks and 6 gear vs Stealth trans?

and the tires, body, team car came with the rear motor guard instead of being an option on the graphite. the front shock tower was different as well.
