Ok, so I know very little about early AE 1/8th scale cars. Anyone want to tell me what it is? Thanks -Jeff

Looks like an RC250, if it had a ball diff it would make it an RC300.

It's a rc300, the rc250 is the same car without ballbearings on the rear axel yours has them. The rc300bd is a completely different car with full ball differential.

Odd, both RC250s I have (since new) came with rear bearings. Late production?

That's what they ran on road. Associated had capped tires as early as 1971 for the rc1!

Oh, cool!

Cool thanks. Any other info (like the difference between the 250 and the 300), as I think I will restore this one. A manual would be cool, or better pics etc. Think I will look through the scans section. -Jeff
