MIP 4WD ID help

Post by vintage racer »

Hi all,I recently bought this car from a guy,he couldnt tell me much about it appart from its an MIP.I paid some real good coin for this and I am no expert on this exotic stuff.If someone could please tell me what chassis and trailing arms I have here that would be great.I allways thought that the conversion was for rc10s but this has thrown me a bit.Things that I can see here that arnt rc10 or part of the conversion are,chassis,rear trailing arms and mounts and shock towers.I also got 2 new in box conversions with the upgrade belt drive system.

the trailing arm kit is from mip, as well as the shock tower. the chassis..... it's hard to say. so many of those old aftermarket rc10 graphite chassis' were nearly identical. composite craft, parma, DA, etc.

Thanks guys,looks like the seller was right in saying it was mip.I just noticed something interesting on the body.It says wings and things race team and "driver Scott" and mechanic "Gilly".It is all from Australia so may have been a well know race car fromback in the day.
