Ah ok thanks for the picture. :) Thats easy enough to spot. Now others and I will know what to keep an eye out for.

So they came in the last of the team car kits and are called Worlds graphite?

"World's" graphite is just a name that collectors use to describe them - nothing official.

It was just dumb luck for me. You don't know how many time I asked this guy if he had a chassis laying around in the back. Then one day I walk in and ones hanging on the peg board right next to the cash register. I thought it was just a black chassis till I got it home.

I decide not to keep it, hopfully I'll get it into the right hands. I'm just too distructive with NIP and Mint stuff...just ask my Graphite chassis :(

Not high jacking your thread metallicats33 but I think as far as rare chassis gos the tq10 gets over looked, it was only out for what 2 years? with a short arm and long arm versions. Then theres the B2.

tq10's are indeed pretty hard to find in good or unused shape, or without the chassis being drilled out at the battery cup to fit a stick pack...

i'd speculate that there are alot more rc10's still hiding in the parents attic and other places. or they are with people like me, and will only pop up for re-circulation after my 'estate sale'... ;)

i dont know what to say about all this talk of rc10 crap being rare when it was arguably one of the most produced and popular rc cars ever...

Right on. "rare" is too often used when maybe it should be "rarely seen".

the worlds brace is 6338 or something like that. the part number you mentioned is the 7 cell fiberglass brace (i believe).
