Very nice.

I didn't make anything on this one, I bought it "as is" and just mounted the "rotating blue gem" that came with the lot

what rear motor guard is that?
is it from the b2?

Modified B4 motor guard

..and i reckon it'd look better without those two whopping silver washers - more stealth right?

...has it's original chassis.

My though was when the non-logo chassis came out the transition had already been made to all black parts.

Looks like it's in danger of being chopped anyway.

i am 100% positive that if you were lucky enough to get one of the kits with these chassis', they had white parts. or, at least the one i built at the hobby shop i worked at back in the day did.

Ok, If you were the guy, that pretty much sums up the story with that setup. I'm going to side with you, even though I've got an all black 6036 that has the older narrow "AE logo" chassis... but you can never tell what Associated did...and there were probably any number of transitional kits that were released in that timeframe...using up whatever parts were in current production...

one thing i've never seen is a graphite team car with black parts right out of the box. not that i remember, anyway.

OK...I'm not the one with all the NIB 6036 kits...maybe asa (or someone else) can give the full scoop... I'm just going by what I've seen in a few (+/-) years of collecting crap... Maybe I need to stick with the 1/12th cars... Were there actual all black Graphite Team cars? Or are the ones that exist anaomolies?

Well, I thought this car would solve the mystery, but that just seems to be not enough for you guys, and now we have raised more questions. We really need the advice of someone who actually worked at the AE factory in those days

dude you have one heck of a collection of beautiful cars i love them

Why didnt you get the original motor guard for this model? I have managed to find a new one unused.

Thanks for the comments guys, I actually got the car with the plastic (B4) motor guard from a friend of mine, he was racing the car and didn't want it to be a shelfer. I got all the parts to rebuild it with original parts, including a brand new gold motor guard Update will come later, I'm toooooo busy at work for the moment...

Glad I found this thread...my buddy scored the roller below on craiglist and we were wondering if he could run it in a vintage race. Late model team graphite chassis...has some black parts and some white parts.
