Minty fresh RC10Ce

Just picked up an RC10Ce last night that was built but never had any more electronics put in it than a steering servo. Its a 6 gear transmission and says "A" on the back of the chassis. Needless to say its perfect! Will snap more pictures later when I get home of it. I bought it in an effort to restore my RC10CE with the stealth transmission. I guess thats not happening though.

I love these cars and love the Stealth version even more for racing.
Great find and congrats!
If it were me, I wouldn't mod this one (A chassis) to accept the stealth transmission (B chassis holes), when you can easily just buy a stealth CE version.
She looks beautiful!

Very nice!
I just scored a CE on ebay (not as nice as yours) that I plan on doing some vintage racing with at my local track.

The rc10 is good, but the Lexus is even better.

It came with this nifty book on how to hop it up and what I can do to make it look cooler, and be faster!

Can you please post some scans of that?
Re CE chassis... there are both indeed, A and B's, mine has both stamps overlapping
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
with a 6G and the black shock caps... one of the very very last of the 6G ones. That transition to the stealth trans was a bit of a soft one, not a hard one!

Yeah I can do that tomorrow.
Is there someone I can email the PDF scan to to have them host it?

your best bet is photobucket I'd say... once you try it you can't go back!

After thinking about it, I think I may try to sell this one or trade it for a stealth trans car in the same condition as this one.

That may be hard to do. Just keep that one and build/buy a stealth CE. You need to start a collection like a lot of us head cases.
