Hey guys I picked this up today at a local flea market. I cleaned it up and it is in very good condition. I need help however identifying what model RC10 it is. It has a carbon fiber chassis made by associated. It has full ball bearings and a stealth transmission. can anyone name the model? I am not too familiar with the RC10s made after the original gold tub and before the B3. I was not aware that they ever came with this chassis. Any help is appreciated.

easy , its a 1990, ish rc10 graphite with stealth tranny , this was the model just prior to the first car to be ever named "the team car"

this model you have was boxed with the stealth transmission in its own box inside , they took the old tranny bag out and sold em at tower and everywhere as replacment trannys for original goldtubbed rc10,s or for the people who couldnt afford the $129.95 to buy a stealth kit , old trannys went for around $40 ,

*when the team car was released the graphite version scored hard anodized teflon coated shocks , and yes they still shipped the team car with the crappy 2.0 inch rims and junk tyres , and that abomination of a steering linkage.

*the aluminium team car based on the championship edition scored a new black anodized tub chassis , but funnily associated still hadnt yet anodized its motor plates black , so you had a gold motor plate connecting to a black chassis,, weird!!, , but when the first ever truck by associated the rc10t was released someone at associated decided to anodize the motor plate black

the rest is history , b2 , b3 , b4 , .......................

id say definetely a keeper , all you need is the small gold plate which connects the chassis to the motor plate and a body , associated still stocks parts for this car, you just have to look around a bit on their listings in their website if you have any questions feel free to contact me , i had a great deal of experience with that era of rc10,s
