Gold pan question

[Orlinon]

Hi, New here!
I'm watching a gold pan RC10 on evilbay that has been listed as something else, so I'm hoping it might go for a good price. I have always fancied one, but the prices are just insane now.
The pictures show that the chassis has 4 large square holes in it. The seller says these look original, but I have never seen one like this. Anyone know what they are?

Also, the plastic parts have been dyed red. How much does this effect the value?

not as much as 4 larger square holes........

But if you like it- thats all that matters. This hobby is like hot rods, you put in 100 hours and $1000 to sell it for .$600

Prices on RC10 aren't "insane now" at all. There's plenty of great cars being sold for under $100USD and more than a few going for under $70USD.

I'm in the UK and RC10s are hard to find here.
Someone has told him what it is and the seller has relisted it as an RC10, so I guess there's no harm in sharing the link now.

It was listed as a Tamiya Falcon

I just bought a complete car a few weeks ago for $140 on ebay. Granted, it needed work but what do you expect.

And I've bought several semi-complete cars and trucks for ~$100. They are out there, you just have to keep looking.
