Trying to identify the following car
Trying to identify the following car
Hi, I'm trying to identify the following car I purchased on ebay about 5 years ago. It is an RC10 but bastardized I believe with an aftermarket chassis as the internal striations don't appear to reflect any of AE's. It was definitely listed as a team associated car, but I just can't remember what and ebay has now dropped it from my list of historic purchases. Many thanks.

Re: Trying to identify the following car
It looks like a previous owner has done the modifications to the stock chassis and nose plate. The chassis was then painted.
It's a nice looking buggy.

Re: Trying to identify the following car
What are you trying to identify?
I wouldn't call it bastardized even on a bad day. The millwork on the chassis is impressive from what can be seen. Even the nose plate is milled out. The circle cut out and notch may be a bit far out but, still clean work. Looks like whoevere did the millwork may have done the carbon as well as they don't appear to be off the shelf. Plastics are clean. Titanium turnbuckles. Someone put a lot of hard work into that car.
but if you wanna called it a bastard, ok...
That's a nice little bastard!

The turnbuckles with the adjustment flats at the end are interesting. I haven't seen that before. Anyone know who made those?

Look like longer AE truck turnbuckles that have been cut down and re-threaded.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 8:25 am The turnbuckles with the adjustment flats at the end are interesting. I haven't seen that before. Anyone know who made those?

Re: Trying to identify the following car
lol, you're right and thank you for your reply and the other respondents. I didn't consider the millwork / carbon work to have been done by the previous owner as it looked factory. Thank-you so much.Dangeruss wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 8:16 am What are you trying to identify?
