Very nice local find from a racer who by the looks of it didn't race much, and this has been sat in the basement of his house for the last 12 years !
ALthough the batteries had been left in the controller, which I thought meant oh oh...
but no, Duracells' finest still showing 90% on the power meter, and no leaks !

THe car looks to have a few upgrades on it, but will make a nice addition to the collection !

thanks guys,
I am however unsure of what the body is.
Any help?
All I know is it's not the original one !

I believe that's a Turbo Mirage with an attempt at a Pavidas-replica paint job.

sweet ride! Rear bottom of the tub seems quite scratched- jumps on concrete surface?

Nice find- that is in decent shape. Will it be a runner? (That's always my vote!)
Apparently Apple was a big sponsor of AE bitd! ;)

I now have 2 Gold Tubs, so my plan is 1 shelf sitter, 1 runner !

Very Nice! I have two gold, and one black chassis RC10's that I havn't touched in years. I should dig them out...
