RC10 identification

Post by The_one »

Hey im new to this site although i have owned an RC10 for quite a few years.
Ive always been led to believe that its an RC10 worlds car but as i bought it second hand its hard to tell.
Ive been searching this forum for clues, and from what i can gather mine is a worlds car with an aftermarket chassis. I still have the original black chassis but it was modified by the previous owner.

Anyway, here are a few pics......I recently painted the wheels orange and bought a proline RC10 B3 shell (i Think)
Any help on what model it is would be great.

well, someone definately did some milling on the chassis, but it's hard to tell from the pics (for me anyway) if it's an original worlds car. it does have the front shock tower and steering bellcrank.

moving to "rc10 buggy forum" shortly.

...as well as alloy wheels screws, painted over flouro wheels. The trans screws should be silver alloy also.

I'd side with World's Car, although somewhat modified...

This is the standard chassis that i had laying around. Shame someone has cut into it, but i guess it just made it a bit lighter.

Anyone have any ideas if the silver chassis fitted to my car is a modified standard one, or an aftermarket one? Would like to try and find out.

This car should be added to the The official "lightweight" chassis thread.

Appears to be a B4 body, based on the length of the side scoops.

I like the Chassis. Kinda might have to mill one of mine thats a bit beat up. Its good to know people with machine shops. Thinking about stripping off the Anodizing, and giving it the aluminum look.
