They're all 2.1 front, 2.0 rear. Only difference in the CE had 3 piece wheels.

I was looking over the pictures of the original trick recently and saw something I missed on my first build. https://www.reedyrace.com/ae/spotlight/pages/RC10T_Van/images/thumb.200_12.jpg The pictures are being taken on a reflective surface. The chassis is bare and as well it's drilled. Screenshot 2...

Title might be a little confusing, but I'm wondering what years each AE logo was used for parts bags. [edit] This is pretty comprehensive list now thanks to Dangeruss, jcwrks & scr8p. It's possible some were used after they should have been expired and replaced but this is an excellent timeline....

Do you have a part number for that?

Cool thread. There are two Factory Team header cards. The one in the OP is early and has Made in USA on the back. The one that came after was China.

1990 is way too early for the flag header. I hung out and worked at my LHS until I graduated in '95. The Associated section was a wall of white cards until at least '93.

It is kind of rare to find a white part in a package with a flag header.

The Revell #39628 Chrome Spray, is pretty amazing. I'm terrible at painting, always in the wind, and either too heavy or leaving a weird texture. Revell was really easy to get a good result. On the left are the Rustoleum and Jenolite painted knockoffs, the (3) on the right are Revell, notice the des...

Thanks fellas. Feels surreal winning. Not sure how long it will take to build it, but it feels like I'll need to sooner than later and not have it sit on the shelf NIB like the rest of my re-releases.

I assumed Masami's CAT would be the holiest of holies within Schumacher. On the contrary, the current crew seems to know very little about it. I guess that is racing: if it isn't winning races now, it is just an old car. The video is still good to watch, as it gives a closeup view of the actual cham...

Oh man, this takes me back. I've probably shared this before but I was riding with my dad in Springfield Il around that time when we notice a crowd forming at the JCPenny's parking lot on the corner of S. Grand and Dirksen Pkwy. They were racing these cars and it was probably my first exposure to RC...

So Dan Rowland also did the resto on the masami xls for Schumacher, he was also the main push behind the xls rere.

Group photo! Everyone say cheese! Hey new guy, get in the back row!

Apparently I like to use #8 decals... they probably hide paint blemishes really well.

Did these cars have a differential? I am thinking they didn't...

Edit: @RC10resto anticipated my question by a decade or so I found this in another thread. The standard kit did not have a diff, but they were available from AMPS. He posted these instructions:

Dhawk, sent me a very cordial letter today, filled with wonder and joy. https://i.imgur.com/qXZrnNO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SeC9gPG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZMlDcPL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tp3ugCi.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YGW9lp6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/p4UNdM6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OQim8do.jpg Jimm...
