What is it?
and did they come pre painted or pre printed ?
Picked it up locally a while back, and going to sell it on, but would like to know what I am selling !

I am fairly sure the car is CE version though, right guys?

I doubt that it was prepainted and it looks like the early Championship Edition with a 6 gear trans except I can't really see the trans., the later version had the stealth trans.
Just noticed it looks like a turbo mirage body with the scoop on the side so it's not the original body as this model should have come with a viper. Should reall see a picture without the body on.

It's not that I'm curious about, I know it's a 6 gear one.
But what is the body??

Thanks

If that's an original Turbo Mirage body it was the correct body for the 1994 World's Edition RC10 which is pretty much the most coveted RC10 there is except for the early Edinger RC10's. I'd keep that body and sell it with the viper.

I've posted this pic before in another thread and I prefer this 1/8 Proline Baja body on a chassis thats extended by one inch.
