I got this car off eBay last week. From what I can tell its an early Cadillac car. For now all I want to do is clean it up but I have plans to build an era correct racer.
The car is pretty clean, some scratches on the bottom of the chassis and the steering bell cranks are cracked. The previous owner put the notch on the side to clear his stick packs. I think trimming down the sides of the chassis will hide most of the damage.
Looks like a good clean slate bummer about the chassis but your correct- trimming the sides down will fix it

I'm guessing that the outboard row of holes are just drilling through the originals and the inboard row, closer to the battery, are just indexed off of the outer row.
Looks like it. There was a template in a thread that I stole, but it's a different pattern.

iirc this was a "team" thing. It does seem random but I wonder if it was a balance thing.

If your goal is to build a replica of Halsey's 85 worlds car, do not drill the holes in that chassis.
If your goal is to replicate the car you posted above, yes, the holes were opened up down the sides and another row was added towards the inside. I dont think there were any under the battery.

Looks like a looong project.
With that battery foam there, I just had flashbacks to my old yellow RC10T. I do that to this day.
I got a killer deal on this RC10T from eBay. I threw in a bid just for the fun of it and won! Ended up being around $80 after a refund in shipping since I was close. The car was used only a few times from what I can tell. Everything is in very good...

I just got this in the mail today and i am starting the rebuild and restore today.

Thanks. Its gotten some serious laps in at the local track. My son runs the white G-10 one. Its the slowest one I have. When he gets his hands on the other ones he can't keep them under control. I call him CRASH lol.
Just a quick note to say hi from Edinburgh to all forum members.
It's probably the beginnings of a mid-life crisis but I'm getting back into RC after 20+ years. I originally ran a Mardave Meteor back in the day which I'm currently stripping and...
