RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

So, I was re-arranging my boxes and feeling very observant today when I noticed that all 3 of the RC10 boxes that I own have Edinger address's on them. And, that all 2 of the AE stock motors I have also have Edinger address's on them. So, I stopped my re-arranging for a moment to line them up for an Edinger group shot.

Edinger!

Looks like a nice "Early Production" group shot

Simply breathtaking. I think scr8p will be suitably impressed.

I'm just going to start abbreviating it to "EP". Nice collection!

EP = Edinger Production

we can just call them "worlds" cars, since everybody thinks they own one of those too.

How about an "EP Worlds"? We should start tagging our ebay auctions like that.

"edinger worlds tq10 team" car they have tons of those on ebay

Excuse my lack of knowledge but what is the significance of the edinger car exactly. Was it only delivered to just certain retailers or a specific warehouse?

To me it's not what is printed on the box.... I could care less. What I like is the parts used on the early cars (ie. Edinger). Pale chassis, spring cups, different tooling on the rear bulkhead, differences in the front/rear shock towers, etc. To me if I received a RC10 w/o those early parts, but still in an "Edinger" box, I wouldn't even care in the slightess.

Yeah its all about the parts different parts not just different address

Oh ok I wasn't sure what the differences were.

Well, wouldn't using the term "Edinger" only on certain cars be pointless then? I mean, if I have a car that came in a box with an Edinger address, it is an Edinger car, even if it doesn't have those early parts. I've never had what people are calling "Edinger" RC10, and I've owned a lot of RC10's. Each of those boxes and both of those motors came with the cars that came out of those very boxes. None were "Edinger" cars as people would label them. So, the term as it is being used by collectors is useless.

Makes much more sense to call those cars "Early Production".

But hey, who cares really? Call them whatever you want. I'm gonna call my darker-gold tub, later spring cup, no fiberglass battery hold down car an Edinger. Cause that's where it's from, and that's what it says on the motor.

Edinger!

I am good with early production..... buzz words are cheap.
