Where can I get the o rings that are under all the screws that go to the servo tray. As I removed the screws to clean the car they are falling apart.

Most of the hardware on those early cars were just hardware store items. Orings and grommets should be an easy local purchase but if not, measure them and try McMaster Carr

Got it mostly all cleaned up. And it's looking good. Now I just half to figure out what to do with the body as all the paint is chipping but I love the vintage look if the paint. Any ideas

it's a RC100 , not a RC200

RC100 win the first world championship !!
it's a 1/8 master piece

it seems that only the radio plate shape is comming from rc200/rc300 period


this is the early version of RC100 using drum brake . you car should be this one :

There was an RC150 which had the later style radio tray, that would be my guess.

Definitely a Rc100 with a rc300/150 radio tray. Sounds funny but a rc150 was actually a rc200 with a unique brake rc300 front wheels and rc300 radio tray :? I know
