#6000 - Cadillac RC10 with 3 Boddies

Post by slow_jun »

so I was browsing the local rc site and I found these, contacted the seller and was able to work out a nice deal.... pretty I may say :D

a beat up box, but seems to be sealed and all intact.

Now, I don't know what these bodies are? I may have to get a better picture when I get it. Any clues on what they are? repos?or original? all are out opened but not painted.

Enjoy..

Are they sought after bodies or the Turbo Mirage?

they're original protech bodies. i don't see many people asking for them since you can still buy them anywhere (chinese ones). but if you're doing a "true" vintage resto or building a "true" vintage replica then you'd need one.

Isn't there a difference in the window nets as well as the thickness? Nice score!

old ones are wavy, new ones are straight.

for a short time, when they re-issued the protech and viper bodies 6-7 years ago, some of the protechs actually came with the wavy window net (and they were definitely not originals in new packaging, it was a new mold). i had a few and i know others did as well. but that didn't seem to last long at all, and from then on they were all straight netting.
