whispers in the shadows...

Really though, just wishful thinking with all the team/world car talk. It's fun to speculate.

Tower had linked to the RC10T from a product page. One of the few discontinued kits on AE's website that doesnt mention that it is discontinued)

Tower links to: http://www.teamassociated.com/cars_and_trucks/RC10T/Team/

That could simply be there just as an archive. But what if it's actually under construction(!)

Just keeping our fingers crossed!

Does that mean it won't come fitted with this body?

I assume it will still come with a Turbo Mirage shell of sorts if it's an RC10 Worlds Car....I guess Craig was just saying he's on the box again as the pic of BK on Craig's shoulders was removed from the later Worlds kits around 1994.

I think I understand where all the info and pics I sent to someone about/of the Worlds car Box was used for

i still think the detonator looks better, i don't know what it is about this proline body but i looks off,

Oh boy, here we go JC vs. Pro-Line...

I think the Detonator body is meant more for the RC10 Classic than the World's car, as the Classic bodies had a different, wider cab shape. I personally like the style of the Viper/Mirage bodies. They're curvier and, I think, have better proportions. The Detonator looks like it took a dive off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. That being said, the only JC bodies I've ever really liked are their Hi-Flow 4x4 SC body and their Illuzion body for the original B44. All the rest have way too many sharp angles. Not for me. This Pro-Line body would go quite nicely with a blue Team Car I've been working on.

Anyway, I am tempted to get one of these re-res and just put it on a shelf. I have plenty of vintage runners, but a NIB, still-in-the-wrapper World's Car would be awesome.

Can someone point out the differences in detail between the Mirage SS & Turbo bodies? From doing a spot of googling I honestly cannot see how they are any different.

The easiest thing to note is that the Turbo Mirage has an addition little scoop side-pod on top of the left side of the body. Also, the top of the Mirage SS body is a narrower than the Turbo Mirage which has a flatter section that covers up more of the rear tower.

The turbo mirage was available with the scoop or without.

The biggest difference and easily noticed is the nose is recessed on the turbo, flat on the SS.

That's so page 12!

What the.... How did I miss that!!!??? Sorry done for this week then

redrc.com has some cool pics:

imo those side windows need to extend down at least a half an inch to make it look better.

It does look good but would so prefer the Mirage Turbo so much more. I may still pick one up just to have but I'll stick with the Detonator for now. Hopefully a good version of the Turbo will come with the Worlds Kit if it released.

And one single window (This is how I'd paint mine )


And with the safety net

That helps, nice job
