Hello everyone,
I’ve got a question I’m hoping you all can answer. I have two identical graphites. One of them has an A&L trailing arm rear suspension and it’s missing the entire transmission. I’m gathering up the needed pieces over time now and it just occurred to me that I’m unsure if I need a gold or black motor plate for it to be correct. I really don’t remember what is on my complete car with the original rear suspension short of the fact that all the white parts on both cars was unfortunately dyed dark purple. Most of my RCs have been in storage for a couple years now so I can’t currently get to them to see what’s on the other car. The reason I included the 6036 in the title is I do have one of the original boxes. Thank you in advance, Mark.

Black.

All RC10 graphites had a gold motor plate.

TQ10's were black.

I had thought that all team cars were black. But looking closer, I can see that graphite car still had the gold motor plate and rear guard.

I didn’t think the graphite ever came as a team car.

From the time-line.

Great, thank you very much everyone I really appreciate your responses.

Rc10 graphite team car.

Yep, yes sir that’s my exact box. I’ve got a pic of the side panel but admittedly I have no clue how to post up photos. Come to think of it I believe I may have some pics of the cars themselves back from when I was packing them up for storage. I’m only using an iPhone, is there a way I can post them in the reply section like the attached images you guys have ?

I’m also very interested in figuring out what turnbuckles and rod ends are on both cars......

Full thread turnbuckles with small hex in the center and ball cups.

Yes, thank you scr8p that is what should be on my cars. Let me be more clear. I don’t know what the ones on my cars are. They are round center silver turnbuckles with a hole through their center to make adjustments. The rod ends are of a black, smooth, long open design. I don’t think it matters but they both also have A&L steering setups.

They could be Technicraft.
